5200 overclocking

Desperado126 · 22 Apr 2009 at 19:04

Hi Guys just wondering how far can I get my 5200 overclocked with stock cooling?? i managed to get 3Ghz once but the performance seem to drop down i think :confused:

oh if you can please tell me what I should do with ram timings cause maybe it was the ram that was holding it back or something that's what one guys said to me. I'm just a noob when it comes to oc thanks in advance

Read the FAQ, it'll give you far more comprehensive answer than responses here could.

Where the 5200 goes depends on a lot of things, including which e5200 luck has sent you. 4ghz around the best, might go nowhere near that high. Depends on your patience and willingness to learn, and what cooling system/motherboard/ram you're using.

Way more information needed before we can help, and you're not going to know what to tell us before you've read the faq. Performance does not drop at higher speeds, things crash.

Ah, in that case I advice the FAQ again and otherwise withdraw. Never clocked an amd chip
