I have my new system setup (Abit Nf7-S V2, Barton 2500, Geil 1 Gig DDR400) and the proc doesn't want to hit 200 FBS with an 11X multiplier without a major jump in Vcore. The proc is "stable" at 2200 MHZ but the VCore has to be set around 1.80/1.85 to get it into Windows. It is Prime 95 stable for about two hours before eating it, at 2 GHz it is Prime 95 stable for 24 hrs.

That being said the temps are around 37.5 C when doing office related stuff and they hit low/mid 40's when running prime and UT2004. Will having a higher Vcore hurt my system if the temps are low or will it just have a much shorter life span ?
