Hi everyone,
I apologize for having to bother you all with this but I've read a million and a half articles on overclocking and haven't been able to get my CPU as high as I'd like yet.
I have an E7200 on an Asus 5PQ Pro motherboard. Ram Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 4GB and graphics card is ATI 4870. I have put links to it all below if anyone wants to see the specs.

My CPU is currently up to 3.48 with a FSB of 410 and an mlt of 8.5. Whenever I try to up the mlt above 8.5 I get a rounding error in Prime95. My voltage is already at 1.36 (I was planning to work on decreasing it once I got the speed where i wanted it) so I don't think I need to up the voltage anymore. The ram is running at 5-5-5-18 492 mghz. (Improving the ram is on the to do list once I get the CPU speed up) any one with any thoughts on why I can't up the mlt above 8.5? I also can't up my FSB above 410 and now I just saw that even on 410 x 8.5 my second core is failing in prime.
