Hi all,

I'm new here and I need few information that could help me.Does the VDDQ has to be higher when you overclock your CPU with/without higher Vcore ?

My computer has a 2700k cpu ,gigabyte Z68X-UD4-B3 mobo,and 8GB (2GBx4) DDR3/2000MHz Dual Channel Corsair.

Any help would be much apreciate.

Thank you in advance

No. There are 2 basic areas of RAM chips. The I/O buffers, which control the data going into and out of the RAM chips, and the data storage resisters, which store the data.
Vddq is the voltage supply for the data storage registers, and Vdd is the voltage supply for the I/O buffers. VDDQ is for the memory so you won't need it for cpu overclock.
