E5200 Overclocking and performance comparison.

The Neo-F boards are abysmal. I have had a the misfortune of having both P31 and P35 Neo-F boards (until they were rapidly returned). Very cheap and nasty bug ridden pieces of junk.

The Gigabyte EP31 DS3L on the other hand is an exceptional board. It will put many more expensive boards to shame. It overclocks briliantly. I had a E2180 to 3.6Ghz on one. The only downside is that you can't use more than a pair of single sided memory sticks.

My Neo2-FR has served me brilliantly for well over a year now :p
 
Looks like she's a good'un!

5 and a half hours and still going strong.:)

The Neo2-FR is a completely different board from the Neo-F's. The Neo-F's are basic, cheap and nasty rubbish. Just take a look at them on MSI's website.

P35 Neo-F

P45 Neo-F

For some reason they only list them as Neo on the website yet the boxes say Neo-F.

Very nice. Do you reckon it's got any more to give? Maybe a 4.2-4.5Ghz? Temp's are getting high though.

I don't really care about temps. Besides, I'm just trying to see how high she goes before backing off to about 3.4GHz and dropping the voltage.

I'm sure she's got more to give yet, hopefully 4.2 will be attainable. It's far higher than I ever expected to get, not having overclocked anything since my last chip, an Opteron 146!
 
No, the card is completely at stock. That's the next project.:)

Does the CPU score sound about right? I know these things can sometimes be a bit rough...

Yes, that what I thought - so these results are pretty good for your configuration. Try to OC GPU and CPU and give us a shout how this going on:)
 
So based off your experience, would you say that the E8x00 is worth the extra over the E5200? Or would that cash be better off spent elsewhere in the build?

That's impressive I must say! :cool:

1.0500v VID :p

Has it passed all stability testing at that speed? . . i.e does it also pass 10-20 loops of IBT?

I might have to crack open the bonnet on my E5200 machine and give it another whirl, the first chip I had fell over around 3.8GHz but I've got a second E5200 running now which I still didn't test properly! . . . flippen girlfriends really eat into ones overclocking time! :o;)

Wouldn't mind a bit more info on your set-up if possible . . . thanks! :)
