Hi guys.

I have had my E5200 sitting comfortable at 3ghz @ 1.28125 bios vcore. In OS, drops to 1.232 and loaded vcore is 1.216.

To get to 3.33, I have to pump 1.375v through it. I know max safe vcore is 1.3625, but also know ppl pump 1.4 - 1.44/45 through this chip, but I'm not looking for 3.6-3.8ghz of performance, just a nice 3.33.

So.. Intel's spec document says max VID for this chip is 1.3625. Is that to say some oke with a REALLY dud chip's VID would be that high? Or is that the max safe 24/7 vcore? For me to get to my target 3.33 I need slightly over (1.375v) the max vid, and after loaded vcore, it drops below 1.3625 to 1.312, which is safe.

Am I missing something, coz if its below VID in OS and when loaded, is it safe to set above Safe VID in bios?

Why don't you boosting the speed to 3.33 GHz (if possible at all), and running CPU tests to confirm stability?

I would not go over Intel's specs or 10% from standard vcore for longevity of the processor.
