Aye, it's not the best. System can pass 30 hours of Orthos at 3.8Ghz, but it will randomly crash when gaming or watching video anywhere above 3.2Ghz. No idea what the problem is - got a 4890 and a Corsair 520 PSU, so neither of them are the problem.
 
Great overclock - how long have you had it running at 4Ghz?

It's given me hope as i have a p43 mobo - I'm at 3.2Ghz for now, out of choice, but i'm confident it will go higher but i'll probably settle for 3.6Ghz if i can get it there.

using it since last 20 dayz, and no problem at all.

U should atleast go for 3.7-3.8Ghz.

@ p4radox

Its 100% Stable @ 4Ghz.

If i had Low Vid E5200 such as yours, i would be 4.5Ghz by now :p
 
Low VID tend to just mean that the CPU gets voltage saturation at a lower point which does mean you can get a couple of 100 extra mhz out of it.. my E5200 sits @ 4ghz nice and cool and stable and I have had it at 4.2ghz stable but the extra vcore really does heat the buggers up (still convinced that I have a poor contact between cores and IHS)..

N1, that's stable by most ppl's standards - hope it remains so as it's a great clock.

Yours and other ppls success has certainly made me look again at my clock. I thought 3.2Ghz was a modest clock but 3.5Ghz is now starting to seem like a safe stable clock without having to stress too much about voltages and stability issues. I'll probably devout a morning to it next weekend with 3.5Ghz as my target for now.
