E5200 Overclocking and performance comparison.

Bro. wats is Ram divider:confused:

I am using 2 * 2gb Corsair 800mhz DHX CL5 5-5-5-18.

Help!

When you push up the CPU's FSB the RAM's speed increases proportionally too. The divider sets the speed of one compared to the other so that when you clock the CPU you don't end up trying to run the RAM faster than it's designed to run.

I'm not one for praises and complements but

WOW

This thread should be stickied.

Trawling through benchmark tests from all the so called pros and I really must say that @pastymuncher has done above and beyond.

Looking at his results is a clear representation of real life scenarios.

Excellent, excellent work. Thankyou so very much for the time, blood, sweat and tears than went into this production.

Thanks very much guy's. Much appreciated. :):):)


P4radox's E5200 is legendary and very exceptional. 1.35v is superb for 4Ghz. Jammy git. :p
 
Got my E5200 the other day, having this thread base heavily on my research!

Had a quick tinker and got it to 3.5 @ 1.2v.
Haven't seen how low I can get the vcore or how high I can get the clock, going to have another play when the missus is at work and not playing EVE!!!

That's a good start. 1.2v for 3.5Ghz is good. You may find that it needs a significant boost in vcore to go over 3.6Ghz though. Just keep it below 1.45v. Ideally no more than 1.4v. If you need a big increase for just a couple of hundred mhz then it really is'nt worth it.
 
Finally bought a replacement for my MSI mbrd (which I got refunded for), got an Asus P5QL Pro. Now I just need the time to build & o/c my E5200!

Yeah that's a nice clock. From my experience low-VID wolfdales always clock very well, but high VID wolfdales don't necessarily clock badly. It usually gives an indication of how hot it will run though, low VID = burning death hot.

Don't you mean High VID? ;)
 
Off Topic:

It has been noted by a few forum members that Intel® Core™2 processors with a low VID run hotter than a chip with a high VID.

It's not something I've experienced myself so don't know :confused:

You would think a lower vCore would produce lower temps but perhaps that is why Intel® assign the VID that way . . . . because certain silicon runs a lot hotter at a given frequency then other silicon?
 
Only had this one installed for about 40mins so had a quick tinker and here's where I am so far

obviously not stress tested yet, that's next on the agenda
