I've got an overclocked E5200 and overshot a lot on the voltage (went into the 1.3's) when overclocking.
Now I'm backing down, and I've gone all the way to 1.2v BIOS (1.185v CPU-Z) and usually I run Prime95 (small FFT because that claims to focus on the CPU only) for ~1hr to check, and then knock it down another notch (0.00625v) and start again.
RAM is basically in spec (2% overclock) so I am not worried at all about that, I am just trying to find the minimum voltage my CPU needs, without running P95 for 8 hours each test (yet).
