Yes for every 0.1  increase u need to increase the voltage a bit maybe 5%

CPU AMD 9590 -- 2x Titan X ---  RAM 32GB KINGSTON---PSU EVGA 1000 ------ HARD DRIVE 2TB WD BLACK -- MOTHERBOARD AMD 900 SERIE

RAZER CRACKEN ---------RAZER NAGA -------------------RAZER CHROMA

english is new language for me so forgive my many mistake / I have moderate autism so im not always correct

Ultimately, it depends on the chip. Most likely you won't need to.

5% for every 0.1GHz? That's a lot.

Increase slowly, when your system becomes unstable then increase the voltage but watch the temperature.

I have an i5 2500k CPU at base clock and am thinking about overclocking it. So say if I just wanted to overclock it from 3.3 to say around 3.7 would I still need to change the voltage settings? I'm not trying to get as much as I can out of it just a tad bit more.

Look up some guides online and familiarize yourself with the terminology and take it slow.  overclocking is a process.

You'll never know until you try it, every chip is different. No reason to be afraid of bumping the voltage up slightly, unless you're running it on the stock cooler...even then might be able to handle a smidge.

It really depends on your chip, if you are lucky enough to increase your clock speed and remain at the same voltage at a stable performance then you are lucky enough :D

 

But for most cases, increase your voltage a bit and run a stress test, see if you can get a stable chip

It's funny how everyone said it depends on the luck of the chip  :P

Well its a mixture of multiple things, sometimes it is the luck of the chip. Then VRM's and Power Phases.

NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER STOP LEARNING. DONT LET THE PAST HURT YOU. YOU CAN DOOOOO IT

The turbo frequency is for one core. It doesn't mean it'll work on all four.
