Hi guys, i have a p5w DH as you read. I have a E8200 C0 rev stepping 6 CPU. It seems to be bottle necking the 6870 i have in the system so i would like to get some OC out of it. Right now i have just the vcore upped to 1.31 @ 3.1ghz I wonder what is a good OC on this chip also idle temps that would be normal
Ram is AMpx ddr2 800mhz 2g x2 stock volt say 1.9v

Wolfdale was pretty easy to get 4GHz on with a good board but with such a low multi on the E8200 it's going to be difficult and you'll need to focus on stabilizing your northbridge so you can raise you FSB higher.

Most northbridges max out at 1333MT/s or 1600MT/s, with a multi of 8 and a FSB clock of 400MHz you're only at 3.2GHz. You usually don't need 1.3v on the CPU for clock speeds below ~3.6GHz.
