Default Overclocking the Pentium E2160

Chaps,
First time overclocking since....erm...since...a long time agoRemember the Coppermines?....ahem...right.
I decided to buy and O/C the Pentium E2160 along with a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P, Crucial Ballistix PC 8500 ram (2x1gb) Corsair HX620 PSU & Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro, lastly my passively cooled XFX 7950GT all bunged in a Antec P180 case (for the time being)
Here are my benchies, positive critique's encouraged, negative knobs ignored
I believe there is more to come but probably be only for benchies, i'm after stability & quietness (ish).

personally is safer to overclock via the bios than the easy tune tool as it can cause voltage spikes.

I'll second coretemp.

Otherwise, it looks pretty good for a cheap as chips chip.

You could maybe work on getting the vcore down a bit
