3.6ghz, 5-5-5-18, 5 hours orthos stable and counting, 59@load on a zalman cnps

i'm well happy i know i not really pushing the the memory yet, but its almost silent and i'm soon gonna upgrade to a noctua cooler which should bring the temps down further

if your wondering why i've got media centre open, thats because its been crashing randomly recently but i think i've fixed that too

the only adjustments i've had to make in the BIOS (apart from the fsb) is to up the vcore 2 notches (1.245v? iirc), how much further will it go do you reckon, not 4ghz surely?

Why not 4Ghz? It might and should be capable of it but the crunch with the e8200 is not the cpu but the low multi and hence dependant on your mobo.

A lot of mobos bomb out above 475Mhzwhich would only give you 3.8Ghz.

You need 500fsb to hit 4Ghz and my ABit Ip35 pro hits a wall at 476Mhz but you can only try.

Just to discount your cpu from the equation and have you mess with voltages on vcore and vtt why not try finding your max fsb by lowering the multi to 6x and see where you get to. Once you know that, at least you will know your maximum potential cpu overclock eg say it is 476Mhz then you max oc will be 3,808Mhz.

yeah that seems like a good strategy had forgotton about being able to boot at 6x multi, thanks

I'm getting 52degrees at 3.2ghz on stock cooling with my 8200

yeah thats about what mine was, bearing in mind i dont have any case fans and am just relying on layout and my 3870's blower (at the top of the case) to generate some negative presure to pull cool air in at the front through the drilled-alu drive bays and the meshed-hole where the intake fan should be

i got a 8200 on a asus P5E mobo(X38) and 2x2gb black dragon ram(6400) and am running 3.9ghz 24/7 is stable at 4ghz too 1:1 with memory,great cpu's.
 
I love e8200 too! (there should be some sort of club.....) Anyway ceep cranking up the fsb jsut to see if 4ghz is possible! :D (mine got to about that on the ocuk ip35-s board which was cool)
 
okay so i need some help identifying which voltage does what, i set it back to...

multi 6.0x
vcore 1.2250 (cpu core voltage)
vtt 1.10 (something to do with th the ram divider)
mch 1.25 (memory controller?)
ich 1.05 (no idea?)
ichio 1.50 (raid controller?)

and am hitting a wall at 360fsb, which is the chipset voltage/s i need to tweak to improve this? i've read the sticky numourous time but am getting more confused because it seems to be written around the old athlon 64 chipsets
 
i'll give it go

dont suppose anyone could point me to something which explains what each of these ip35 voltages does?
 
I loved the E8200 so much that I sold my Q9450. I found it so much fun and had a real blast with it.

I managed to get it to 4ghz on this current board and it was primed for 17 hours as I forgot to stop it when I went to work one day. Even funnier or not was I stuck on one of the cpu fans the wrong way and it was hitting temps of 75c when I came home still didn't fail it.

The Quads and extreme Quads might get all the attention but this dinky cpu really impressed me.
 
upped the vtt volts a notch and has been othos stable at 6.0x496 fsb for 13 hours now (another notch to go too :D, or would 1.17 vtt be too high)

No that'll be fine, it's only when you crank the VTT volts up big time that you need to worry about killing your chip. I need to get clocking again, I'm being put to shame here :D

1.17 is the highest the vtt will go in the bios, so that's perfectly safe then?
