Yea I know, Q8200 is not good at OCing but hey, This is what I've got so Im gonna get the best out of it.

Using my system(see my system specs)

I got Q8200 to ran 3.1 Ghz at these settings, and its running fine

on ASUS P5Q(Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.34 Ghz)
CPU Speed 3.1 Ghz, Automatic Voltage
FSB is 444
Memory DDR2 1067, 2.1V (in the box it says voltage should be 2.1V - 2.2V)

The only thing I worry about the most are the voltage settings, temps are fine

Anything you want to add to make my overclocking more stable? or reach higher speeds?
Is there anything wrong?

also when i look at my system information computer properties it shows at 2.34 Ghz, but in CPU-Z it reads 3.107 Ghz

Keep the voltage untouched and up your OC a bit more :toast:
 
So its okay if i set voltage to auto?
