Hi everybody at this point i am running it at 4.32 ghz :) but i got there so easily,temps under load 49 to 52 degrees celsius.
i think i can go a lot further
cooler is a modified coolermaster v8 with twin papst fans
 
What kinda vcore does that require? I'm going to overclock my brother's E5300 in a day or so, aiming for a 266FSB which will work out as 3.4ghz. I'm tempted to go higher though, but if I drop the memory multi another notch to get it up to 1066mhz again I'll need to run the CPU at 4.1ghz, which is too high for the cooler if you ask me.

Those temps at that clock on that cooler sounds about right to me, it does only have 2 cores pumping out the heat after all.
 
how i did it

I removed the plate on the cpu and the papst fans are about the same capacity as your usuall bathroom ventilation system makes a lot of noise but it works wil put photo's up when i get a chance
 
to muel

vcore is 1.275 i advice to lower clock multiplier to 11 or 12 and go for fsb 360
memory on a 1 to 1 basis performance boost from 800 mhz to 1066 mhz on memory is next to nothing if you set your timings right
 
The motherboard I have won't be capable of pushing anything like that FSB. (I reckon anyway).

heh! had an E6750 that did speeds like that, under water cooling something like 4.35Ghz. 543 FSB and that was stable as far as i could tell, anyone else noticed how incredibly good P35-DS3Rs are at overclocking?! :eek:
 
Lucky git, my old E5200 would only manage 4.1ghz as it had a FSB wall at 330 :(

Proper annoying when u have/had a mobo that was capable of 500+ fsb lol.

And those temps don't sound to crazy, especially knowing those 2 fans are on it, damn those things are loud though lol, Nice job.
 
Fail to see how you can have those temps at that OC under load, but meh, good job!

The V8 is a pretty good cooler if you modify the fan setup on it. However I think for much more your gonna start to hit voltages that need more cooling than the V8 can provide to stay stable - i.e. not just keeping the temperatures reasonable, but at a lower than normal level.
 
i think we are missing the point of the post i.e what is the fastest

Really all depends on if it will hit a FSB wall, some iv seen don't have one, some do.

On air realistically even with those fans hard to say, as who knows what volts will be needed for much faster.

Iv seen these cpu's without fsb walls hitting 5ghz, but those needed very high vcores and where on water/dice/ln2

This is the fastest E5200 on hwbot on air, probably was'nt 100% stable as its just a cpu-z run. And look at the volts needed for it, so there still is head room on your cpu, but how much we can't say, and if u want it stable, your probably getting close to the limit.

i think mine hit the limit of the chip rather than FSB, got no idea what maximum FSB would be, though chipset runs hot as hell when its over-volted and seriously overclocked. so ideally water block for CPU and chipset would be ideal combination. :)
 
Mine did'nt even stress my mobo, no matter what volts i put thorugh the cpu/nb, i could'nt go over 330, some just have this kinda wall that u can't seem to pass no matter what.

Was really annoying for me as i was on water, and i knew my mobo would do 500+ on the fsb, i was just unlucky i got a cpu that did hit a wall and would'nt go higher, pot luck i guess.

Even when i pumped 1.6v through the north bridge i was only hitting 40-45c (nb temp), i do miss my old P35 board, was fun clocking with it, but gotta move with the times lmao.

Getting there is fairly easy. Making it stable is the fun part. Is your OC stable? post a scrennie of either 20 runs of IBT, 20 runs of LinX or 8 hours of P95 and maybe then, you can push it a little bit more.:D

Here's my 4.0 IBT run
