Hmm, that's either a really crappy E2200, or a really crappy mobo holding you back...

I'd kinda lean toward the latter, since that seems like a ton of voltage just to get to 3 GHz.

Holy voltage, batman!

That does seem excessive. My E2140s reach 3.2 at 1.425v (bios), 1.36v (CPU-Z load). Even at those voltages, my temps get really up there, 80C at load with a HyperTX2.

What are your temps like at 1.5v+, and what kind of cooling do you have?

I'd sell off that chip and look for another, if you have your heart set on overclocking.

P31 should definitely be good to 333FSB, which would be like 3.66gHz. What's your NB voltage at?
