E5500 OC

Just wondering how far I'm able to OC my current CPU (Intel E5500 @ 2.8 GHz)

CPU Specs: http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=42800
Mobo Specs: http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=08c0CULpvP1ZM9kT
Multiplier: 14
FSB: 800 Mhz
Cooler: stock one atm but a decent cooler shouldn't cost more than 20 EUR I guess

so ehm.. where do I start :G?

depends on your cooler
well, I was able to OC my previous CPU (Intel C2D e6420) from 2.13 to 4.00GHz without any problem. For the record, at that time I was using Asus P5b. Just check some forums to see whats the limit for yours CPU (eventhough it also depends on ur RAMs, sometimes its better to have less CPU power to maintain highest RAM clock value).
random pic made me go :O
too much to explain, use google
sorry,belgians cant do it
first go for 333FSB instead of 200, so you reach 1333FSB 4x333 since its qdr. After that you can try to get to 400FSB, or stay with 333FSB since you will be able to get to the max of the proc with that allready. Perhaps 333FSB wont be even possible but even with 300 you can reach the max of the proc.

if you stay with 333FSB
10x333 and than raise mp each time and test with linx and prime95 ( linx 30 runs mem all ) prime95 atleast 3h )
the max with 333FSB will be 14x333 4,6GHz
Also with 333FSB you should be fine with adjusting the ram multiplier since its a default fsb used by the E8xxx series and Q9xxx series.

And ofc raise cpu vcore and all that shit if its unstable during testing, just google.

And how far you can go, you should ask god, maybe he can predict the unpredictable.
hihihi all lies lol !X:D

You need to learn how to explain to total noobs better, but sounds like a solid idea to figure it out lol
Parent
just make it as hard as possible for them, that way they will need to figure it out themself, and than they will actually learn smth.
Parent
But not all of them want to learn
Parent
Than they don't deserve any help :)
