Still haven't gotten around to overclocking my e5200 with an aftermarket HSF ever.  Maybe we will have the same project over the next week or so.  As for remembering how the overclocking works with this cpu I don't.  My memory is not good.

I've overclocked mine to 4.7GHz with 1.7v. Cinebench was run on a single thread, hence the score of 132.

 

But that G41 mobo won't be getting you anywhere
