Well I was going to spend the $ anyway since I needed a cheap board for a E5200 I had just bought, but I figured I would just use the board Im using with the E7200 for that and upgrade my gaming pc, which is using the E7200. So either way I am going to spend $. Plus I dont mind doing the tinkering!

Umm.. to put it simply, not really.
I mean, both are a step in the right direction, but your still not OC all that much further with either of those.
Newegg.com - Open Box: GIGABYTE GA-EP43-UD3L LGA 775 Intel P43 ATX Intel Motherboard
or
Newegg.com - Open Box: GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3L LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
would be MUCH better for overclocking.

can you set your ram to run at a slower speed?

yeah I have it at 667 right now. It's been going for 3 or 4 hours now. There are a lot of timings that I have no idea what they are so I just loosened cas latency, tras, and trc. There are a couple that I think are the RAS to CAS and RAS to precharge but they are different names and I loosened those. Its going ok right now.

I guess my voltage was set back to default. With everything loosened and vcore at max I made it almost 14 hours at 1333mhz. Is that good?

Hey,

If you have lowered your RAM to 667, it is being overclocked once the FSB passes ~320MHz. Lower the RAM to 533 and it will be running 1:1 with the FSB. Once the RAM is underclocked you can see if the CPU can reach a higher speed.

If you're not using it already, download CPU-z & look at the Memory tab. It will tell you the RAM's base frequency, cpu:ram ratio and the actual timings.
