Hitting 4.0 on a E5200

[up2nogooduk]

Hi lads.

This is the spec.
Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer CPU Cooler with a Noctua NF-P12 120mm fan
Dual-Core E5200
Abit IP35 Pro XE Intel
OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 Dual Channel Vista Gold Series
8800GTS 512

I'm maybe gonna try hit the 4.0 mark.
But as it is, is there anything else i should change, any tips would be great

Cheers.

Same vid here and just shy of 4ghz. Mines at 11x360 with 1.36v (about 1.38v in bios) using a freezer extreme cooler. Temps under orthos are mid 50's, IBT pushes them to mid 60's.I'm running my ram(same as the op) at 2.1v and a 3:4 ratio, nb is at 1.2v. Other than that it's maninly stock though I have enabled the bios option to minimise vdroop. It's 12h+ orthos stable and has done about 50 pases of IBT.

Whats your ram at ?
Could you show show CPU-Z pics of cpu and ram.

Cheers.

I'm really interested to see how you get on with this as I've got a very similar setup except the cooler (stock). I'm currently experimenting to see whats stable and whats not. I did manage to get it running at 320x11 this morning but the temps were too high (69degrees) so had to drop the Vcore slightly but ran out of time before i could test whether it was still stable.

What have you changed from the default apart from the obvious clock speed, RAM multiplier and Vcore? (I'm at work so cnat check against my settings)

Yeah, if you can, compare them ?

I tried 12.5 x 320 = 4000MHz. it just starts to go in windows, but reboots.
That's with the timing on default.
won't boot at all if i keep the timings the same as above.
Not sure what's the max you should give the cpu voltage.
In my bios, what would be the ram v, and the NB V ? i don't know with this board what it would be. just wondering what i should change also.

Cheers

Sorry about the triple post.
I got to 4MHz but have to make it 1.4v and put the ram Frequency down.
Not to sure if that Cpu v is ok at 1.4.
Not tested it yet, so i won't cheers just yet
