Need help squeezing trusty E7200

LoneReaction · Feb 1, 2009, 01:59 AM

This are the settings I've been using for half a year.. but even at 3.6ghz, today's games eats it all up! I'm having trouble having it stable above 3.6ghz..

Using kingston value rams too

Any suggestions would be appreciated =D

i suggest wearing gloves so that when squeezing it, you dont get fingerprints on it.

Look for an FSB strap setting, and set it as high as it goes. that could be 333 or 400, depending on the options your board has. Careful tho, as changint this can alter the memory options available. (400 FSB on my board with a 400 strap only lets me use 960Mhz, 1066Mhz and 1200Mhz - no 1000, for example which shows on 333Mhz FSB strap)

yep though those were my 4.5Ghz voltages. he should be good for 4 with them and then tone them back untill she gets stable.
