vcore refers to the voltage provided by the CPU core. It is determined mainly by the CPU itself, not by the motherboard. Therefore, your answer is clear: changing the motherboard or using a different chipset won’t change the required vcore for overclocking. There could be a tiny variation due to the power delivery system in the new board, but it should be negligible and could go either way. If you have another board available, test it; otherwise, purchasing a new one isn’t necessary.
