I'm trying to get my cpu stable at 3ghz and I've increased chipset voltage to 1.65v, ht voltage to 1.35, cpu voltage to 1.625v, 3x mult, 9.5 X 316, memory voltage at 2.1v, ram divider at ddr 400.

Now, I boot into windows and I run orthos small ffts and I get an error on one of the cores, sometimes its like this:

1:Test 1, 800000 Lucas-Lehmer iterations of M172031 using 8K FFT length.
2:Test 1, 800000 Lucas-Lehmer iterations of M172031 using 8K FFT length.
2:FATAL ERROR: Resulting sum was 303465209266176, expected: 577221325587249
2:Hardware failure detected, consult stress.txt file.

or

1:Test 1, 800000 Lucas-Lehmer iterations of M172031 using 8K FFT length.
2:Test 1, 800000 Lucas-Lehmer iterations of M172031 using 8K FFT length.
2:FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4
2:Hardware failure detected, consult stress.txt file.

Then I downloaded prim95 and did the same small fft test and I got the same type of error but I noticed that the other core passed the test and when i did ctrl alt del my cpu usage was at 50% so I know it was still testing that other core.

So then in next sensor I look at the volts and it says one core is getting 1.52 volts and the other is getting 1.488. I'm assuming that the reason my other core is failing is lack of volts, so is there a way to fix this or am I just hitting my cpu's limit?

Core b gets 1.488v
and core 2 on orthos always fails so I'm assuming they're the same core.
 
Not all components are created equal, so im not surprised voltages are varied. Sounds like your just hitting the limit of the CPU at that volltage.
