My E5200

Ryan111 · 14 Jun 2009 at 19:24

Heyy, Ive Oc'ed my E5200 to 3.3GHZ with out a problem.

On 1.264v and at 55 degrees.

However when i try tp up it to 3.4, prime fails after 2 minutes.

Why? :\

PS, i will get pics of prime failing.

Heres it failing at 3.4GHZ

MikeHunt79 · 14 Jun 2009 at 19:38

up your vcore and try again

Ryan111 · 14 Jun 2009 at 19:40

What to? And How do I, i think my motherboard is set to auto do it?

MikeHunt79 · 14 Jun 2009 at 19:53

try 1.35v, you set it in the BIOS

Ryan111 · 14 Jun 2009 at 20:02

ive upped the Vcore to 1.35 in the bios, but it says 1.312 in CPU Z.

I also upped it to 3.5, that is where i wanted to hit eventually.

Running prime atm, hasn't failed yet *touch wood*

Lets hope those extra V's help

TheRedZealot · 14 Jun 2009 at 20:18

It will always be lower in windows due to Vdrop and Vdroop i think, what are you using to cool the chip at the moment?

Ryan111 · 14 Jun 2009 at 20:22

failed after 20 mins

TheRedZealot · 14 Jun 2009 at 20:23

Take it up another notch

Ducky Spud · 14 Jun 2009 at 20:26

Yea, like TheRedZealot asked, what cooling you using? That chip can handle higher volts quite easily, but without good cooling its going to get running too hot. If your just using the stock cooler you'd be good upgrading to somthing a bit better

Ryan111 · 14 Jun 2009 at 20:31

dropped it to 3.4 and see if its stable

TheRedZealot · 14 Jun 2009 at 20:32

You should have just added aniother notch to your volts, i doubt it would have pushed it over 60'

Ryan111 · 14 Jun 2009 at 20:48

I've knocked the chip up to 3.5ghz with 1.375v now

Lets see

Ryan111 · 14 Jun 2009 at 20:50

im using a Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler btw

Ryan111 · 14 Jun 2009 at 21:26

My CPU cooler is at ~1150rpm...

Im sure it can go up to 2500rpm??

temps at ~60

45mins of prime

Audigex · 14 Jun 2009 at 22:05

Looking good so far - you might want to leave prime on overnight though to be sure.

If those temps stay at the 60 mark and it's still running tomorrow morning you have yourself a successful overclock :-)

Ryan111 · 14 Jun 2009 at 22:27

I would leave it on, but i put the case fans on the highest and my comp is in my bedroom, so....

Ill leave it until like 11-45, then ill go bed

thats still 3 hours of prime...

MaKKiR · 15 Jun 2009 at 14:05

How's it going Ryan?

I managed 3.5 GHz on mine @ 1.4v in BIOS and 3.6 @ 1.425v in BIOS.

I'm currently running 24x7 @ 3.5GHz and am pretty happy with the performance.

If you get stability @ 1.375v then you should have some more headroom

Happy clocking.

TheRedZealot · 15 Jun 2009 at 14:21

That seems a little much for what youve clocked to, Im at 1.3125 for 3.8 ghz.

Have you tried touching PLL and Northbridge volts?

Big.Wayne · 15 Jun 2009 at 14:40

nvm!
