well overclocking is much safer and stable in the bios, but then again if your mobo's bios wont allow manual voltage increases then i guess you could find one that is kinda decent, though i thought oc software was used specifically for the mobo that they come with? And, 1.35v for 3.75Ghz is pretty decent, but i have seen a lot of e5200's git 4.0Ghz on around 1.4v.
E5200 OCing help

wats the vid on it? i had a 1.125 vid and i still needed 1.4 vcore in windows for it to be stable

the voltage curve goes rediculous around 4ghz on these chips i needed 1.52 vcore to run 4.4 but only 1.45 to run 4.2 and 1.4 to run 4.0 and 1.37 to run 3.8

I don't know if it's my board or my CPU not being stable at 320*12.5. In fact, 295 is the limit I can stay stable. I'm thinking board because I can't lock the PCI-E freq and PCI freq and there's also stuff like not being able to turn spread spectrum off etc. Also, raising the bus and lowering the multiplier is still unstable.
It really is a sucky board for OCing but it just passed 12 hours stable small FFTs at 3.7ghz so I'm happy for now
