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.

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)
 
My 5200 has the same Vid and I needed a touch more juice for 3.6 stable. Will be interesting to see what you need for 4.0. Nice to see your second cpu temp working in the 20's. Mine is 15° out until >50°.
 
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. :)

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 :D

very nice, what temps are you getting at full load?

Mine seems reasonably happy at 3.36 (320x10.5) but temps are getting too high to push any further until i get some better cooling :)
 
Quick question on this subject I can boot into windows at 4ghz on a DS3P 965 but not OCCT stable.
Now I have my P5E fully watercooled board sat doing nothing waiting for my Q9650 to come back from RMA, would I have a bigger chance with this setup of getting stable just for testing purposes.
Would mean taking cpu out of the other rig though.
Is it worth the bother or will it still not be stable.
What I mean is it the board or the chip, thats holding me back.

Probably the cpu. Mine does 3.6Ghz prime stable and no more. It does'nt matter what board it's in either. It's been in my P5E with water cooling, Biostar P35-D2A7 and now my Gigabyte P35 DS3R. The results is always the same. It will boot at 4Ghz but is not stable. I even tried a suicidal 1.52v last weekend.

What i would like to know is whether the E5300 or E5400 is any better. The E5300 is cheaper than the E5200 now as well. I really don't think that the E5200 is worth the money now. Almost £70 for a budget cpu is a joke. OCUK are having a laugh with the price.

Try looking around and see what other's are selling the E5200 for. A damn sight less than on here. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a dual either. Quads are pointless for some people as there is not a lot that actually makes use of them. I had one and then rapidly got rid of it.
