E5200 how fast can it REALLY RUN ????

[chipps101]

and £20 of second hand ram

that ram was new

It was also £25.

Still, works perfectly.

anyone else noticed how incredibly good P35-DS3Rs are at overclocking?!

Yup

Still got an E8400 sat in my P35-DS3R as I type this which is clocked to 3.6Ghz 1.2v and has not skipped a beat for nearly 2 years.

Will do 4.15Ghz stable too but don't need it at that speed tbh.

Solid boards

why on earth are they so good at overclocking, when i had socket 939 AMD system, always avoided gigabyte boards like the plague, since they never seemed to be good clockers...!

Nice, getting my e5200 delivered next week, as well as an e5400! Grrrr stupidly won 2 ebay auctions!! Will test both then decide which to keep.

E5400 definately, they're virtually the same just one notch more on the multiplier.

The FSB wall seems to be the limit on these chips, I could get mine to 266 on stock voltages (for some reason the vcore refuses to change).

If you can aim for a 333fsb, that'd give 4.4ghz.

Hmmm I'll be pairing either with a 212+, my trusty e2160 feels sluggish now on a AFP7 which has a crappy FSB wall and struggles to keep stable on 3ghz with a high vcore. 4.4ghz sounds nice.

Mine only gets to 235 stock volts stable :/ but that's with multiplier at 12.5 is that normal?

 

[SLAYERIAIN]

yes but turn ur multi down 2 or 3 notches and u could easily do 333
fsb

by the way guys i got it running at 4.98 ghz stable.
see first 5 posts for specs btw i found a dipswitch on mobo that allowed 1600 fsb
was stuck at 1332 fsb because of this safety design yes on air and with my modded v8
now load temp is 72 degrees after 2 hours superpi
