Re: E8500
For the multiplier, 9.5 is the maximum for the cpu. You can lower the multiplier and raise the bus to get the same result, I prefer to keep it at the 9.5 and run that with a 400Mhz bus for 3800Mhz. And that's running 24/7, no probs with the 400. I start getting stability issues around 425, but your results will vary.
edit - It's best not to do a huge jump in the bus speed. A little at a time, with about a half hour stress test at each level. Keeps a better eye on heat/stability, and gets your machine used to the idea of being overclocked. The 358 is fine for a first increase, if you're going to 400, you should do at least one one more stop along the way.
