I mean it's alright, since I do some Photoshopping, web browsing, gaming, I thought I'd get a quad, I would've got the q6600 but fry's had a dirt cheap deal on this mobo/cpu combo. Yes, I know that this q8200 is a very poor OCer but I didn't want go that extreme on OCing. My motherboard and RAM is the bottleneck right now, I got it to the max limit at only 405 FSB/ 2.84 ghz.

Your ram should be the only thing holding you back, that board should go close to 500 fsb with the right settings.

its possible that you wont be able to get higher on stock voltage, but with increased voltage you might be able to get to around the 450-500 range, worth a shot to try and see how high you can go with fsb some day stability wise. Either way you have a pretty clean case in there

I upped the CPU Core voltage to 1.375 already, I guess that is not enough?
