Athlon 64 x2 5200+
I don't attempt to push the CPU beyond its limits. Can this CPU be overclocked on 2.8/2.9/3.0 for stability?

PSU OEM-ATX-500W-E1 12V(18A), 5V(36A), 3.3V(28A).
CPU fan Foxconn 2ZQ99, idle 32°C at full load 62°C; I've used Arctic Cooling MX-2 today.
MarkW2 provided details about their hardware specifications, including CPU, RAM, motherboard, power supply, and temperatures. They also asked if they could overclock the CPU safely, whether their current BIOS settings are stable, and suggested adjustments to clock speeds and voltages. The message includes links to images and technical data.
I notice you only have 2GB DDR2 RAM available. You can easily purchase 2GB DIMMs DDR2 at a low cost—each DIMM might be under 20 dollars. Consider upgrading this before installing your CPU. The Brisbane team was not pleased, but the Windsor team is more flexible. You can achieve around 150MHz by increasing the bus speed, which is currently set to 200 for standard configurations. Remember to take gradual steps to avoid damaging your valuable RAM.
MarkW2 :
Check if my current CPU frequency and voltage match with my RAM. Is it SDRAM? My image shows DDR2 RAM. The specs say so. I just removed some text in case I was mistaken.
Your question is whether this RAM will fit in your PC. Based on the info, it should work.
I thought the model was kvr80002n5k2 because I couldn't see it clearly.
If it's the correct RAM, it's DDR2 with a solid 800MHz.
Look for another one if you want a replacement, since it was a kit and should be fine now.
The RAM shown in this picture originates from Speccy images. This is the RAM from my computer. I believe it matches the following link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6820134117

CPU Fan Foxconn 2ZQ99 049 idle temp 32°C full load 62°C, today I put Arctic Cooling MX-2.
My questions:
- Can I overclock the CPU stable with this setup or should I avoid it?
- Are my current AUTO CPU Frequency and Voltage settings in BIOS stable, or should I adjust them?

You can Overclock your CPU.
As stated it will take 100-200 MHz more without raising the voltage.
Just rise the Base Clock to something around 214MHz. Your Multiplikator of 13.5 will result in 2900MHz.
Use small steps and make sure your Temps with prime95 stress test are okay and there are no Errors Happening.
In case your PC Fails to boot in various occasions, raise voltage by 0,05V. If this doesn't help, step back.
And as I already said, you will have much more benefit in exchanging your 2 DDR2 RAM (U)DIMM from 2*1GB to 2*2GB.
You seem to have an Fujitsu Business PC, so you should look at RAM from SAMSUNG, or Kingston Value RAM.
I have seen similar PCs fail to boot with other stuff.
Just had a look here in my electronic bay, 2*2GB DDR2 DIMM with 800MHz (PC2-6400) costs 20 bucks.
It doesn't matter if you new Memory is low Profile as your current is, that is just an optical Thing.
