E5200 o/c...

I overclocked an E5200 at school to 3.5GHz @ 1.2V with the stock cooler on a Gigabyte G31 mobo. Temps were 45 degrees under load

Just try and keep the voltage low and you should get 4GHz with the stock cooler
 
prob. around 3.5Ghz... got mine to 3.2 but my mobo and ram are holding me back. My mobo doesnt support 1:1 fsb:ram :(
 
Mine is at 3.31Ghz with the stock cooler. At 3.6Ghz it is also Prime95 stable. But I can only go past 3.31Ghz with software that came with the motherboard because I'm limited to 265 max FSB in the BIOS :( So I've stuck to 265x12.5=3.312GHz as I don't want to overclock every time I reboot.
 
Mine booted fine at 3.325GHz, didn't test the temperatures but should be OK. Running at stock most of the time, though.
