Q8200 Overclocking

[Ast3r]

Hi all.I want to take my brother's Q8200 from 2.8Ghz to 3.0Ghz and I want to know if I will need to raise the voltage from 1.17 or is that enough?

I would say leave as is, run Prime 95 and see how you get on.

Ok......The CPU is now running at 3.0Ghz and seems stable so far while playing Crysis I'm gonna run tomorrow Prime95 and see how it handles it.The RAM has got up from 800 to 1033Mhz at 1.87v.I must say that I'm pretty impressed with the lil'cpu I wonder if I can get it above 3.0Ghz without cranking the voltage to much.
