Please Advise On This OC

Hi,
I have O/C A E8400 to 3.6 9X400
VCORE and Others left to AUTO on a GA-P35-DS3P F7 Bios. Is this OK
I use 8GB [4X2] OCZ REAPER P6400@800 Turn off Auto and set to 5-5-5-18 with 1.8V running 1:1
Been running Prime 3 hrs no probs on Max Heat and Power some Ram Tested
VCORE @ 1.32
Real Temp Says Core @ 54 With Prime On and Drops to 39 Degrees @ Idle room Temp 28 Degs
Should I change anything else please advise..??

Looks good to me!

I have mine set to 400mhz or 3.6ghz with 9x multi also. I however saw no need for the auto volts being set to 1.32 and tried going as low as I could to save on energy/heat. I was able to undervolt to 1.225 and have been prime stable for hours also. I recommend this as 1.32v is a bit considering I use 1.375v for my 4.05hz overclock.
I also have a TRUE (thermalright) HSF with good AS5 grease that keeps it at about 32 idle and in the 50's under full load.
I have the reaper 6400 cas 4. All timings set to factory 4-4-4-15-2T 2.2v, set to linked 1:1 or sync. It runs stable. So considering our overclocks are virtually the same I would consider you are on the right path. Not that I am an overclocking pro but have been doing it for almost a good year now. Only thing I recommend is keeping voltages on auto except memory (obviously) and maybe trying to get volts down a bit (from auto) on the cpu.
I also have speedstep enabled so that at idle multi drops to 6x. This saves on heat and once again "energy".

Many Thanks For Your Input. But I Think the speedstep doody slows down more than just keeping it less Heat and Energy and maybe puts more stress via low to sudden high temp so I going to keep it on for now..

Huh???

It saves on energy and heat. If it's in auto that doesn't necessarily mean it's "on", you must set windows to allow it to do it's thing. It doesn't stress a cpu either.
