So i have OC'ed my E5200 before and had it stable at 3.5ghz on the Rig you see in my Sig (except at the time the GPU was GTS-250, and the CPU obviously was my E5200). I have since built a second s775 rig to put the e5200. It has been up and in use since june of 2010. But today i am going to try overclocking the CPU again on the different mobo.

The E5200 PC: P5Q Pro-Turbo , E5200, G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-8500CL5D-2GBPK ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231144 )

Right now from the detailed log i took when OC'ing my E5200 the first time, i have set my voltage to 1.26 (in bios, shows as 1.24 in CPU-Z), my bus speed to 280Mhz, my rated FSB is 1120Mhz.
My Ram is at: DRAM Frequency 466.6Mhz, 3:5
5.0

I have run 1.5 hours of prime 95 Large FFT's and had no BSOD or crashes. I realize i would need to run it 24-48 hours to be completely sure but i wanted to create this thread.

So how do my numbers look? Basically i want my CPU to be at 3.5Ghz and have all the correct settings, and my RAM to be running at its rated speed and have all the correct settings/timings/etc.
Thanks for the help :)

update: just read something, i guess i should be using small FFT's to stress the CPU and Large to stress for heat. I'll adjust accordingly.
