Generally a Q8200 can't really move anywhere with the FSB requiring substantial voltage bumps.
Some report they could get to around 2.8, sometimes 2.9GHz without getting in to super-high (unsafe) voltage, but I can't confirm 100% myself.

I believe the max "safe"voltage Intel stated for[strike] Arrandale[/strike] Yorkfield was around 1.36V. Reports of needing >1.45V to hit 3.0Ghz.
