1.45v vcore is the Absolute Maximum for the E5200 according to intels documentation. Not 1.3625v like the spec sheet.

"The CPU runs very cool. You will have no issues at all with a better heatsink combo. 4ghz+ on air.

This CPU has a max temperature of 74c (Tcase). This will be temp1,2, or 3 in speedfan or other monitors and the bios reading. NOT core1/core2 if your using core temp. Tcase is the temperature to go by. Tjunction is core1/core2 a maximum of 95-100c

3.5ghz
CPU Idle 26c, - Core1/core2 idle 41c
CPU load 49c - Core1/core2 load 60c

3.7ghz
CPU Idle 29c, - Core1/core2 idle 44c
CPU load 53c - Core1/core2 load 64c

So as you can see even at 3.7ghz, 53c at full load is well under the 74c max cpu temperature. Even the core temps are well under the max."

taken from the newegg product page... looks like you will need a new heatsink/fan but if your overclocking you will want that anyway i suppose
