My E5200

Right, I set Prime up this morning.

Left for 8 hours, completely stable :)



I was told by someone i would never get the most out of my 1066 Hyper X ram, i don't know how changing the dividers work, if some one could give a simple guide? :)

Got it solid at 3.5 with core temps of 60 and 1.328 volts :)

Could i get maybe 3.7? 3.8? out of this chip?
 
Depends what BIOS your using as to what the memory divider will be listed as. My current BIOS show it as DRAM Frequency, then just shows the speed next to it which is nice and easy way to show it. Can just change that until it shows a frequency you want, mine ended up being 4:5 (found out using CPU-Z). I basically just try to get it as close to or slightly above what its rated at.

As for what you can get out the chip, at its most basic level, its just a slow process of uping the fsb until its unstable, then upping the vcore until it is again etc. Just keep an eye on your temps, when they're getting to hot you stop :p Theres a lot more voltages you can tweak to improve stability, but your best looking for a proper in depth guide to help you with those :)
 
Hey Ryan111, I think your gonna beat my overclocked E5200! ;)

If this chips clocks any more the temps fly past 70°C when running IBT/Linpack, too hot for me, I hope yours does better! :cool:

problem I found with my old E5200 is that they get very hot! most seem to be limited by cooling... I could get mine to 3.8ghz under air and pushed it to 4.2ghz under water still had a lot of headroom voltage wise by was hitting 75/80c under IBT load.

Great little CPU for the cost thou and I would imagine yours has a couple 100mhz more to give before it gets to hot
 
Mine just hits a brick wall after 3.6Ghz. Nothing at all to do with heat, it just will not get stable beyond that. It does'nt even matter what voltage i give it either. Currently settled at 3.33Ghz with 1.26v. 3.6Ghz requires a whopping increase to 1.35v so it's not worth bothering with. Mine sucks!! :(
 
Im not bothered if i get much more out of the chip, will probs push for 3.6 on same volts, if its unstable ill end up staying at 3.5, dont want to over volt it.
 
What are the safe volts for this chip?
Ive seen some @1.45v??
If i pushed it to 1.45v i could maybe get 4Ghz?
 
I think the temps will stop you before the volts become a problem but if you wanna have a play about then I reckon 1.400v Load in CPU-z will be safe for short periods although the chip is gonna run *really* hot unless you have X-Men cooling! :p

Do you reckon your chip can make 3.6GHz? and have you run any games yet with your new overclock? :)
 
I havnt run any games since upping it from 3.2 to 3.5 no. But im waiting for my new graphics card to come, once i get some spare cash :P

And i think it should make 3.6 with either the same or a tiny amount more volts, im not gonna let temps exceed 65 though :)
 
Have you run IBT yet on your present overclock? :)

I think you may find your chip flying up to 70°C *Full* IBT load! :eek:

Does that scare you! :p

Sorry for the highjack, when running ibt with 4gb on a 32 bit os (xp home) is it a case of entering the amount of ram manually, im currently using 4gb (2x2gb). I ran it earlier with 10 runs succesfully on standard.

What? lol
 
Hello all, thanks for the Thread Ryan111 ;) It helped me with my problem oc cpu ..

I'm testing my rig atm, its running at 3.5 Ghz with vcore @ 1.4v and memory running @ 933 Mhz, with 5-5-5-18. If it will pass, i might change it to 5-5-5-15 ;)
