Hi,
I have an E7200 and wanting to overclock it. I have already done it a little (got it up to 3ghz) but I am wondering whether anyone here who is more knowledgable is able to look at the bios settings I am planning on using.
Now here I have turned off CPU enhanced halt, CPU thermal monitor 2 and CPU eist function. Is that the correct thing to do when overclocking? As I seem to remember reading somewhere it can reduce your overclock.
In this page does everything look normal? I noticed the DDR18V is showing 1.888V, is that normal? I am guessing that is my memorys voltage, now I read on OCZ's website that the memory I have can goto 2.1V all fine. Is it worth increasing 1.888V by 0.3V to bring it up to 2.188V?
Now in this one as you can see I still have it running at stock speeds. Though I have changed the system memory multiplyer down to 2.5. Am I correct in saying that means my memory is running at 665mhz now? As my memory is 800mhz stuff, I should alter the multiplyer to keep the memory below 800 whilst overclocking the fsb. Then when I have reached my max fsb then I can increase the memory multiplyer to get that running as fast as possible? Then after that I need to tighten the timings to get the maximum out of it too, but do I need to slacken them to overclock with? I am using a pair of OCZ platinum sticks.
This is the final image I promise.
Here is it the CPU voltage control the only one I need to touch when upping the fsb? I know the DDR2 overvoltage control is for the memory. How much should I increase the voltage by each time? It seems to do them in 0.0125V incrememts as the smallest changes.
Finally what is a safe voltage to go up to on the E7200?
Many thanks for anyone who can help in anyway. I am just wanting to make sure I am doing it in the correct way. It is the first time I have had a CPU worth overclocking you see, the last one I had in a pc was an Athlon XP 2100+ palomino.
