I have a pentium d 840 and is in the process of overclocking it. Went from 200 base multiplier to 235. Prime 95 24h test has passed and highest temp was 68. Lowest is 35. If I go into the BIOS and set the multiplier anything hogherthan 235 I get a BSOD. 

 

GPU: gs 9400

CPU: Pentium D 840

HDD: WD black 1tb 64m cashe

RAM: 3 OCZ platnum revision 2 400mhz ddr2 1 kingston 350mhz. Total: 4 ram sticks, 4gb (3.13 usable)

OS: Windows 7 ulitmate 64bit

Motherboard: P5Dd2

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

138 is a good number.

1.35 voltage. If I add more voltage and set it to 236 it still will BSOD me.
