i have a e8200 @ 3.6 on a gigabyte GA-EP45-UD4LR
4 gb of corsair ddr2 800 memory
im using arctic cooling 7 pro as cooler and the highest my temps go when prime95 is running is 61 Celsius
so what is the problem why can't i overclock anymore than that

Would it be possible to provide more details regarding your overclocking setup? What settings did you use? What other components are on your motherboard? Are they installed close to each other, packing more heat into the same space?

Well, 61C is kinda warm. Make sure you have the cooler on right and are using good thermal paste. Also, did you 1:1 your FSB to RAM ratio and loosen your timings manually to make sure that the limit is not your memory?

both were done already. could it be that my memory gets overclocked to much and thats whats limiting it?
