    I've never had to adjust it, so I doubt it makes that much of a difference. To be safe, leave it on. That's a reasonably respectable overclock. Are you using the stock cooler that came with the processor? The 6650 can achieve more than 3.2.... :p

    That'd be why, if you up to something like a Freezer 7 Pro or Zalman CNPS7700 you could get a higher OC, but 3.2 is very good for the stock cooler.

    1.39V is fine. I run mine at 1.42V.
