i have my e8400 clocked to 3.69 ghz, these are the voltages i currently have set.
cpu 1.325,mch 1.375,fsb 1.425 , all seems to run stable have not stressed this yet.
i would apprieciate any advice for better votage settings. i am currently on air and
am going to stay with it, i might want to go slightly higher on the clock.
thanks.
 
Not every overclock is the same, some chips require more/less than the other. So with that said what i would do in your case is first stress it and check your temperatures before you do anything else and go from there.

If it's at a resonable temperature and stable then up the fsb until it's starts to fail in the stress test (e.g. Prime95) and then up the volts a bit at a time.
If it's too hot then lower the volts/underclock a bit until at a more comfortable temperature.
 
thank you , going to stress test and see what i have , at the moment it runs very stable.
 
Your FSB voltage looks high for such a mild overclock. Try using 1.2-1.3 FSB volts instead of the 1.425 you are using.
