Higher, more stable PSU Voltage = Lower OC'ed VCore?

[redrocksout]

I started off with 11.70V on an AMD xp-M 2400+ @ 2.2Ghz (200x11 -- 1.75V) and have since adjusted pots to a nice steady 12.30V on a fortron 530 PSU.

would this allow me to lower my Vcore on the CPU? forgive me if this is a stupid question, but i figured that since the 12V rail is no longer undervolted, I'd be able to lower the vcore for some reason.

before:
12V @ 11.70
5V @ 5.13
3.3V @ 3.31

after:
12V @ 12.30
5V @ 5.37
3.3V @ 3.31 (not adjusted)

You MIGHT be able to lower it, but not much depending on the fluctuation of the Vcore you might be able to drop it .25 and still be stable.

hmmm... i just might try it... last time i dropped it by .025 when it was undervolted, it only lasted a minute on prime95. when i put it back to normal, i was going stable for 12hrs on prime and it was still going. amazing how much difference only .025 makes.

for the most part the motherboards voltage regulator takes care of any discrepencys in voltage.. the ony thing that i think could improve the vcore fluctuation is having the 12v rail stable. on the topic of increased voltage... i have hered that the ultra x-connect drives 13v to the 12v rail and its still within spec.. but the motherboard is what is at fault with unstable voltage unless the variance of the 12v rail is +-2v which could throw off the regulation..

take this with a grain of salt.. im going by inferrences and what i know about the regulation system
