E5200 Overclocking

Not MCH (hur hur) as I don't actually know what they are for, and their limits, and the internet hasn't helped greatly :(

The MCH is basically the Northbridge, the VTT is also known as the FSB termination voltage but I can't quite remember what it does exactly but upping both voltages with help with stability. I needed to tweak both of mine to get stable at 3.8GHz from 3.55GHz. Try 1.3v for both if they're lower than that, 1.5v should be fine for the MCH and 1.4v for the VTT.

Ta, will give that a go when I get home, and post my batch details
 
Anyone else have what appears to be a "stuck" sensor? Core0 doesnt budge. Using Real Temp or Core Temp gives me different readings but under load or not Core0 reports the same static figure while Core1 has some movement.

Very happy with this chip so far. Straight in at 3.33ghz, 1.16v. Not tried further yet but will be pushing it tomorrow. Sat under a Xigmatek HDT - S1283 Core1 is reporting ~30C idle @ 3.33ghz, doesnt go above 50C under a few minutes load.
 
Flipping heck! That CPU overclocks GOOD! :eek:

What exactly are you using to overclock?

(It also says on CPU-Z that the cache is 2MB, but it only says 1MB on OcUK's listing. Methinks an error? :p)

- Huw
 
This is mine... although I didn't push it - I set myself an arbitrary goal and went for it with lowest volts possible (1.3V in this case). It's in an SFF and temps are 45/42 idle and 66/65 load, so not amazing, but it is effectively running passive.
