It's been a while since i overclocked anything properly and i don't feel 100% sure what i'm doing anymore to be honest, last PC i clocked properly was a Barton 2500 on an Abit NF-7 With 1GB RAM that i got to just over 2.5GHz on Air which i was well pleased with.

I've now got an E5200 on a P5QL Pro Board with 4GB of OCZ gold Series.

All i've done is up the FSB to 272 and literally not touched anything else and everything seems fine for the last 2 weeks.

The RAM is sat at 453MHz though, is this not a touch high?

I have not touched the voltage or anything else but i'm getting scared of frying it.

Should i just keep upping the FSB or should i be playing with something else 1st?
 
I just built a new rig with your exact specifications. I just bumped up the fsb to 260, left voltages on auto. temps nice and low 40load, and total system draw is 100Widle and 130Wload, pretty pleased. But havent had a chance to push further than you've gone yet, will push further this weekend. higher fsb and volts (only gone as far as 1.35v)
 
drop the ram multi to 1:1,
set your fsb to 350, then 370, then keep uping it by 10 at a time until u hit 400
set cpu multi to 8
cpu volts to 1.35
= easy 3.2Ghz clock, could prob push it a lot further too.

Read else where someone got to 3.6ghz with the following:
Vcore: 1.3562
Cpu GTL: Auto.
CPU PLL voltage: 1.54
FSB Termination voltage: 1.40
Ram voltage: auto.
NB voltage: 1.28
Sb voltage: auto.
Pci-e voltage: auto.
 
I've had my E5200 set at 4ghz, 320FSB x12.5 at 1.45v (under water) recently dropped it to 300 FSB (1.35v) as i was getting some stability issues even though it was orthos stable.
They seem to need a very large amount of voltage to push past 3.6ish

You can't do that with a E5200. You have to make full use of the high multiplier to get the best clocks. 340 may be achievable but 400 certainly is'nt. Tell a lie. I have seen one running at 400fsb but that was running at a stupidly high 1.9v vcore!!
