So which is it? 12 or 12.5 multi? If you are using a 12x multi, then your actual speed should be 3.264Ghz

Have you tried seeing what your highest FSB speed is? Mine likes to be around 333, with multi down at 11.5.

You should probably take the System Memory Multiplier off of "AUTO". This will overclock the ram as you OC the cpu. I set mine at 3.2 (memory multiplier) because that puts my ram at the 1066 its rated for (333cpu-fsb * 3.2 = 1065.6), otherwise this can limit your OC'ing potential (because the ram can then cause instability)

yeah, really simple bro
just bump up the cpu freq. up some. I would do it by 10 each time til you hit instability. Then add some core voltage to compensate. Since you have a dual core, and were not shooting for high fsb oc'ing, we really dont need to worry about the nb or memory timings, etc. This should get you to around the 3.6Ghz-3.8Ghz range.Anything above that then you will need to mess around with different settings.

fine cpu ratio states [+ 0.5] to the multi, so its 12.5x

@W4LNUT5-its 12.5multi x272=3.4GHz

@D3TH.GRUNT-highest FSB I have hit is 272 without BSOD at this voltage

then raise the vcore bud
never stop once you hit bsods, i mean... "THIS IS OCN DAMMIT!" lol.

You should be able to raise your vcore safely up until 1.36v-1.4v

And I will ask, are you keeping the System Memory Multiplier to auto when you try to OC higher?

If so, thats probably why you bsod. Your ram looks to be rated for 800Mhz, and is currenly being OC'd to 1088Mhz. Its no surprise that it wont go much higher. Decent overclocking ram tho

I hear ya, what would be a safe Vcore to raise it to? Intel specs are 1.36 or something close to that. I have played around with the voltages before and had it at 333x11.5/1.325V and it ran fine for a while and it BSOD'd like a week later so I lowered it to these settings and its been stable for like a month.

@ walnut- my RAM is actually 1066 but my board only sees it as 800 because of BIOS, and I have tried all different settings with my RAM, it seems to run fine at 266x4 but I tried auto and it went with the FSB

Im going to play with it and see what I can boot at.

Here is my RAM:

Okay I got it to boot at 288x12.5=3.6GHz/1.325V, RAM @266x4/2.2V anything above the 288 FSB and it BSOD's, no matter what voltage I set it to. What I really want is 333x12.5=4.16GHz, do you guys think this is viable? And what should I set my RAM at? I havent ran any tests yet just booted up and am online now with it, what do you think, should I maybe raise the MCH Core?

ive run 1.52 through my e5200 on air for bench runs so your fine at 1.4 btw the chips still works and stuff
Edit. wats the vid on your chip? i had a 1.125 vid on mine and it took 1.42 vcore to get 4.1 stable so you might need alot more vcore depending on the chip

Yeah. Raising that should help. I keep mine at +0.3v

I'm not sure you will get to 4.16, but high 3's should be achievable. It seems like you may have hit a fsb wall.

I would underclock the ram to 800Mhz until you can be sure the cpu is stable. Then after that, try increasing it back to 1066 and see how it goes. Then run stability tests again.
