If your computer is running fine at 2.0 volts, then leave it there. The idea
is to run your cpu at the lowest voltage you can run at stable. The lower
the voltage, the cooler the cpu. Running your cpu at the maximum voltage
will greatly lower the life of the cpu.
I have a 400a celeron overclocked to 500mHz running rock stable at 2.1
volts, temp runs between 32 and 35 degrees celsius depending on what I'am
doing.
