E5200 OC/BenchMark Thread.(56k warning)

OK, I'm confused. I'll set my desired settings and then what, save & exit and then unplug my PC before it comes back on?

That is what I`m talking about. You power down the PC manually if it is needed take out power cable from PSU. On some boards I have noticed that when applying CPU and MEM OC at once and specially if you do big jump that the first time is needed to do that.

With mine I force a power down by holding the power button, give it a few seconds turn it back on and bam it posts.

@smakked

So we can also assume you can do 3.5Ghz at under 1.3v then? Definitely cool running chips then. Where did you purchase yours? Think its possible for myself to buy a for certain R0 chip?

I have my e5200 running at 3 ghz 1.22 volts idle temps of 25c under full load no more then 40c ( stock cooler)

How far do you reckon I could push this wee chip, baring tomorrow I get a Freezer 7 tomorrow and 2 more 120 mm case fans at 60 CFM.

( I have to wear a jacket next to this case! he he)
 
3Ghz stock voltages? Im wondering why everyone else is having luck with these chips and I got s**t. For 3Ghz and above for Super rock stable i need 1.3v @ 3Ghz and above. :ohwell:
 
.200 above stock to be fair : ]

I don't know what to suggest in regards to your chip, been messing with computers for years but only recently been over clocking.

I can only assume that as long as they're stable at stock settings then Intel will let them be sold : [

I guess I just got a crap dud chip, my VID is 1.225.

It depends how stable you want it. My chip is stable for gaming and 1hr occt at 4.2ghz on 1.55v.
Though orthos will fail within about 30min!!
 
This one is a family computer so I need it so it won't crash during word and games ha ha.

Orthos = 18second fail with 3.5Ghz @ 1.38v but 1.4v is super stable and can run 24/7. No issues. 1.27v VTT.
 
Well, I'm still getting slapped around by the fact I can't get any higher than 2.74GHz.

:(

When you guys say about manually powering down, I don't quite follow. I know how to do it I just don't understand why. I mean, if you do it before leaving the BIOS the values won't be written/saved. If I do it once I've left the BIOS it doesn't have any effect.

I'm not a quitter so I'll keep trying.

You change Bios settings and do save and exit and the PC is restarting but wont boot you take out power cable from PSU or hold power button for 5 sec to power down and then you powerup PC again.
And don`t giveup I was strugling to go above 3.8 GHz long time.
And try FSB jumps I had J&W P35 that 95% of combinations FSB and CPU multi did not work and in the end it let me 4.23 GHz. Try for example 11.5 X 330 and sync memory with FSB
 
No idea what I did, but it worked. Maybe discharging the board when it was turned off worked I dunno, can't be certain for sure, but either way I'm on my way to 4GHz.

That powering down is very illogical I know. But the mobo need that. After one successful post it is accepting new overclocks easy and it is posting at first. This provable happened to many of you: You get new mobo and CPU and overclocking them step by step and from 2.5 you get to 4 GHz stable.
Then you reset bios for what ever reason boot the PC at stock settings and enter bios you adjust all settings to previous stable 4.0 GHz and it wont post and you reset bios and wander how is possible to work and post before 15 min and not now. And than the power down of PC is needed the soft reset of bios it is not enough.
And with my MSI P43 this power down it is not needed the mobo it is doing it automaticly when I make drastic change in the bios the PC is restarting, the fans speen, the mobo it self it is powering down once more, and then starts again so I don`t need to power it down manually. But this power down works with MSI P31 and especially with J&W P35 pro.

And there is one more wall at 3.8GHz but it is solvable with powering down the mobo ;).
And waiting for screens of 4 GHz :toast:.

This is fifth E5200 that I used :D. I could not get past 3.8 GHz and I got pissed off :D.
So I decided to find better E5200. So at work I was doing fast overclocks to see potential of the CPU and if I think it is better I was switching it with home one. The funny story is that current one I did not tested. My P7N platinum died and from work I took J&W P35 and this CPU that I pick random. But because I change it at the same time with the mobo I tought that is the mobo that is letting me go past 3.8 GHz http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=82283 :D.

My point it is no matter what mobo mem psu you have if the CPU it is not good sample it is nothing you could do.

Yes mine does up to 3.6 at stock volts but seem to need a bit more to get to 4 gig Linpack stable, currently at 3.9 gig linpack stable with 1.35volts . Not sure if you can and where you could purchase one, remembering I am in Australia and i got mine from MSY (those in Oz know this store well)
 
I got my E5200 to 3 ghz stable on the stock cooler and stock voltage. I don't want to push it any more unless I get aftermarket cooling though.
 
I've hit a wall at 310FSB. Sometimes 311 works, sometimes it doesn't. Still, not givin' up!
 
Well I had to find a nice medium for my OC and Ram... cool thing is, because I have a nForce chipset on this board I can use the Nvidia control panel now. For some reason I have noticed that the BIOS on this board is shit... it will NOT save any data i have changed i.e. clocks,ram timing,voltages.. the only way i can save it is by saving the timing to a profile in the BIOS. Every time I reboot I have to load the profile and restart from there. Once I get into Windows I can tweak it from the Nvidia Control panel ... weird..

Here's what I have now.. including my GPU OC :D
untitled.jpg
 
3.5 ghz @ 1.392v

Not so good! Volt wise, but it runs nice and cool, 26c idle, around 40c under full load.


Edit: put a HiperFLOW blue led fan on the side panel, now idling at 22-23c. Under max load the temps float around 37c.

I know its only 3.75GHz, but look at the volts I had to use. I can't wait to get this under my phase change.

Where did you get too ?

I'm stuck. I've managed to get to 3.59GHz but I've had to increase most of the voltages massively compared to what I have with for 3.45GHz. I have a feeling I have a broken CPU temperature diode as Core 0 is always 34°C and Core 1 is the only one to fluctuate but I doubt that would hinder me actually OC'ing.

I'm still fiddling, but I doubt I'll be hitting 4GHz.

:(

you didn't break it... my E5200 is the same way. and it was like that right out the box. i believe mine is stuck around 33c or so..
 
Well, after some meddling. I've managed to get 319FSB stable.

:D

So, I'm at 3.5GHz which is pretty good considering the 2.6GHz stock speed.
