I been running 443x9.5 @ 4.2ghz on my E8500 E0 for over 1 years and curious to see if its safe to run 525x8 @ 4.2ghz with the same voltage for higher performance.

Below are the original settings for 443mhz FSB, been stable for 1 years. Passed orthos small/large fft/blend 6 hours+, linpack 64 bit 6 hours+

CPU Strap = 333mhz
CPU FSB = 443
Multiplier = 9.5x
DRAM = 1064mhz 5-5-5-15

CPU Vcore = 1.3375v in BIOS 1.32v idle 1.312v windows
CPU VTT = 1.1v
CPU PLL = 1.5v
Memory = 2.1v
NB = 1.4v
SB = 1.05v

Now I'm running at 525mhz FSB with the same settings except CPU FSB to 525mhz, multiplier drop to 8x and RAM run at 1:1 with FSB @ 1050mhz 5-5-5-15. Is it safe to run at 24/7? I have a thermaltake extreme spirit II cooler on the NB so temperature isn't an issue.
