is it safe for you as long you dont put too much vcore on it..oc it more until 3.2/3..many e5200 oc ther proc until this safe speed wth stock hsf..

i think same in term of performance just the multiplier is 13 and above..bus, cache is all the same..

you do suicide run on your e5200 until it burn, then you buy e5300 for replacement..hehehe..

yup agree wth you..e5300 hv R0 stepping..

Processor Stepping

refer to above link, stepping is like the improvement version of the processor..for ex: Q6600 hv two stepping that is G0 and B3..G0 has a higher thermal specification (72C as opposed to 60C), and a lower TDP (95W as opposed to 105W for the B3). This leads to lower temps and more overclocking headroom for GO stepping..

nice vcore you got there..mine need 1.35V to boot on 3.5Ghz stable..

michealelsie : nice chip you got there..my chip fsb wall around 360..and need 1.3625 vcore to boot on stable for 3.6 Ghz..but you only need 1.3 vcore for 3.75Ghz..

devilywan88 : woah, you also post it at overclock.net e5200 thread right...try reseating your cooler..before that, your vcore..??
