You certainly will need to play with the voltage to get stable on higher clocks. You can't get very high by staying with stock vcore.

On your E8500, that is true, on my E2180, i can make it reach 2.66 easily, will try over 3ghz once I do the pinmod (my motherboard is fsb stubborn), the guys of XBitLabs made it run on 3.20ghz without touching the VCore.

It all depends on what you have really, these Pentium Dual cores (E2xxx, E5xxx, E6300 -different one-) all have low default FSB and huge multipliers, giving great overclocking capabilities, without even touching VCore, not to mention their prize.
