greeting.. im a newbie in OCing proc.. so i wan to ask question here.. a bit of my oc history, right im using e5200 2.5ghz, i oc it to 3.3ghz at stock cooler with a max temp under load is at 57'c.. so im thingking of going more to 4.0ghz at least or higher..is my mobo good enuf for the task? im using gigabyte ga ep31,refer to my signature..also im planning to use this cooler if i wan to go to 4ghz or higher .. any opinion or advises guys..

so i guess i shuld try one by one to see which vcore is stable? now i set 1.2vcore to run at 3.3ghz.. the temp under load is at 57'c.. if i go to 4ghz, let say i'l already hav diz cooler.. wat is the max safe temperature?

5+?

Thats the idea, i hope i can oc this proc to 4ghz, without exceeding 1.3++vcore.. i hope i be able to do that with the ccf cooler.. btw look here , why it is written for 45nm donot go above 1.4v? is it because of the stock cooler?how about after i used this ccf cooler? can i go beyond that?
also the ram voltage, if i didnt set to 0.2v is it ok? right i just let it set normal..

usually i make make sure not exceeding 800 as im using ddr 2 800.. so im only change the setting if i wan to oc my ram is it?
btw is it safe if i go slightly over 800 let say 810 or 820.. is it ok?

so i shud try to make sure that my 45nm running below 1.45v for 4ghz++ using ccf?

bro, pci express frequency must alwayz set at 100? if set auto wat happen?

i think my mobo fsb wall is 375mhz am i right?

ok, jus received my sunbeam ccf today.. i try to oc my proc to 4.0ghz.. but at 1.4vcore, still not stable, thus i dunwan to push to higher vcore as im stil new in this oc world, , then i decide to oc to 3.87ghz, at 1.36vcore, i manage to stable using othos at max load of around <61'c.. that a 30 min strees cpu and ram test.. however, at 33 min, there is an error, something like hardware failing..it just stop,but not hang, no BSOD, no nothing.. i just closed the orthos, and now resuming surfing the net..
my question is how long will it take to test for stability, and is my pc is stable or not? and what does it mean by hardware failing?does i fail any of my hardware? but somehow my hardware no effect or anything.. plez help..

at 3.87ghz, my fsb is 310x12.5
vcore at 1.36v
memory frequency i dont remeber but less then 800,rated ram speed is 800
memory multiplier i dun remember but i always choose the 1 dat close to 800,
and if u are asking for ddr2 voltage control, i set it to normal...
right now trying to find stable oc at 3.5ghz at 280x12.5,vcore 1.24v,memory mlti 2.5 at 700.. running prime95 for almost 2hrs now..no error..is it stable enuf?

extra info bout mysef,btw is 24/7 play mean u never shutdown the pc everyday? if so, then im not a 24/7 person, my usage is maybe around 8-10 hrs a day, not straight 8-10hrs,but accumulated hrs per day, and i often shutdown after play my pc..so do i realy ned a stress test for 8hrs at least?

so how bout the torture test for 10hrs? no error no warning mean stable right?

topic closed, thank for all the help guys..
