Need help with E5200 VID3 to VSS for a 1,3750V Volt Pin Mod

Sylver123 · 11 Mar 2009 at 01:04

Hello!

My cpus default core voltage is 1.2250v and I would like to do the 1,3750V volt pin mod on my E5200, but im not sure which pin on the cpu is VID3, so can anyone please tell me from this Core2Duo E2xxx cpu diagram below, where and how to do a VID3 to VSS for a 1,3750V core voltage??? or can anyone tell me which pins need to be conected for 1.3625v???, which is the max allowable according to Intel for this cpu.

Thank you for responding.

Hi Silver 123,

I assume you are wanting to OC this with the Asrock board?

If you Google web and Google Image "E5200 BSEL AND PIN mod" you will get more info than I can paste links to here.

What are your bios settings for the CPU and Memory at the moment?

Are you hoping to take the E5200 over 3.5Ghz?

What about your graphics card, have you OC'd that?

Yes, im gonna try and overclock on my Asrock board. Cooling the cpu shouldn`t be a problem as im waiting on my Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler coming today. My bios settings at the moment are at defaults and i know which setting need to be disabled or enabled to get best overclock, but at the cpus standard volts, i can`t get stable over 2.9GHz. Ive done the 800Mhz to 1066Mhz Bsel mod sussesfully, but the default core voltage isn`t enough, so for now ive lowered the bus speed back to 2.9GHz.

I would like to get at least 3.5GHz, but i need to increase my core voltage, to stabilize the system.

Do you only have to do this for Asrock boards, thinking of getting a E5200 to play with.

My mobo is Abit IP35 XE Pro.

Before you go trying this, a lot of E5200's are not capable of 3.5Ghz. Some people have them stuck at 3.2Ghz, while other's like myself have been unable to get past 3.6Ghz. A couple have been lucky to get theirs to 4Ghz but these are extremely rare.

As long as you can up the vcore in bios, no you don't.

Hi Silver123

Any update on how you got on with your pin mod and overclocking?

Well, ive successfully done the 800Mhz to 1066Mhz Bsel and a 1.3250v Volt Pin Mod to give me a stable 3.33GHz overclock. I can`t seem to be able to get clock speeds any higher than this without a higher volt pin mod, as my windows just loads half way and resets itself higher than 3.33GHz, and this is the reason why i've asked here, because i don`t know how to mod any higher volt pin mod for my version of the E5200, which has a default core voltage of 1.2250v. The reason why i know it needs more core voltage is because if i take off the 1.3250v Volt Pin Mod, my windows just resets itself at 3.33GHz as well, and is only stable at 2.9GHz.

The 1.3250v Volt Pin Mod is the only one i've found instructions on the internet for that works on my chip.

Hi,

I have not done any pin mods myself, but I was getting 3.3 with my old DR memory, and found 3.0 to be more stable.

Since removing the DDR and fitting 4Gb of DDR2 I have been unable to overclock. I cannot seem to find stable settings.

Same with my GPU, the system will OC it automatically and it seems stable with a few games apart from C&C 3?

Stuck on stock levels with the DDR2 at 533Mhz

Sylver123 · 15 Mar 2009 at 18:09

Well, ive had to back my clock speed to 3.2Ghz, as at 3.33Ghz it does pass the Prime95 test and Orthos test but won`t pass the Intel BurnTest .

pastymuncher · 15 Mar 2009 at 18:32

Told you. As you have found out, nothing is certain with these E5200's. Some are very poor, some are mediocre at clocking and very rarely you come across an absolute corker. These are rare though.

Sylver123 · 15 Mar 2009 at 18:53

I guess 3.2Ghz is the best im gonna get out of this system. I`m just glad this system is only to last me some months, then i`ll be moving to a complete new Intel Core i7 system.
