E5200 OC/BenchMark Thread.(56k warning)

Yeah but what's the point of a high FSB when something halfs the multiplier?
What a massive pain in the arse.
 
I don't understand why it's dropping your multi - I thought EIST might have been enabled, but running CPU Burn-In proved that it wasn't as CPU-Z didn't change.

Think I better whip out my monocle and pipe, this needs more investigation.

I hope I can hit 333 on my FSB tonight, all I want is my CPU & RAM to run in sync. *sniff*
 
If I could get my ram to run at 1600mhz ( as its rated to do) and 3.5ghz I'd be happy :(

Note worthy observation my idle cpu temp with CPUZ running is 23c without CPUZ it fluctuates between 24c and 31 c

:S

Try updating your BIOS

The app gives false positives, panther. Meaning, whatever fsb speed you are at it will report back the cpu speed at its max multi. Meaning I am running 10x333 (3.3Ghz), the app recognizes my chip running at 12.5x333(4.2Ghz).

Altho, 5Ghz for you? I'm thinking your trying to run the fsb too high for these low walled chips.

I'm set to 12.5 in bios.

"CPU TrueSpeed" also says 4999mhz. Will download and try a whole bunch of speed testers.

"CPUinfo v2.1.3" 5000mhz

"CPUID" reports 4999.1mhz

Post an Everest CPUID. I wanna see this 5Ghz clock!!!

EDIT:

Upon looking back a few pages, your bios is setting the chips minimum multi which is 6x. All of your apps for CPU speed detections are giving you false positives. You are in fact running @ 2.4Ghz 6x400. Congrats on the high FSB. Too bad you cant up that multi to 9x. Giving you a 3.6Ghz result at that fsb.
 
Maybe the motherboard has gone KU-KU :confused:

Bah how annoying! Any ideas as to why its doing that?

Also it does seam to be faster at certain things, it installs things faster and I squeeze an extra 10-15 fps out of NWN2 and about 5-10 on GTA San Andreas.


Could this be due to my ram being 800mhz at 400fsb? Speaking of ram, at stock it runs at 400mhz its rated to be 1600mhz. :S Any Ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks guys, sorry for false results :(
I really wanted to believe speedfan! XD

Edit : Important observation, cpuz reports the multi being x6 with any amount of over clocking applied : / and on stock it flucuates between x6 and x12.5 ( mainly x6) have I got a shitty MB or Processor?

Another observation, I can't manually set the multi ( which is how I got to fsb400 in the first place, thought it was set to x10)

What do you get with a superpi run (32m) ?

Will let you know tomorrow had a over heating incident earlier ( me not the computer) and blacked out fell over and broke a rib!

So will go and rest it off for the moment.
 
Zombie jesus!

Wish you a speedy recovery dude!
 
nevermind I found it... its called BloodFire and its sexy as hell too :p


You can download BloodFire Here.

I'm using redshift V3 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4521 :]

Regarding super pi 32m in "5ghz" Unless super pi speeds up or slows down in the mean time loop 1 52 s so it will be about 20 minutes.

Not even close to a 5 ghz speed :(

Again anyone got any ideas about how to make my multi 12.5 when over clocked?

Thanks guys.

Sort of good news! 3.4ghz with the multi at 10 :]

Discovered it was the high fsb making the bios throttle the multi, the lower the multi the higher I can have the FSB ( up to 420 at x6) going to fiddle a whole bunch to see at what point the mutli is throttled back .


Most important observation thus far : having the multi set to 12.5 at ANY fsb sets the multi to x6! what the hell :S
How ever I will investigate this thurther, take the smallest babiest steps on each setting and see where it starts going haywire.

Cheers for all the help guys!

More updates: Started from 200 fsb, at 12.5 had the same half multiplier as before, but then I decided to simply try again on the exact same settings and VOILÀ! Everything works fine, got up to 265fsb going up one at a time then it starts going stupid again but now I now its not completely buggered I will work around this problem :D


Hit a wall at 278 fsb can't seam to get past it at all. Still it is actually running at 12.5 this time.
This is getting rather frustrating, every time I restart I switch of the computer it loads up at x6 again : / I need to find out what is causing this, so I can kill it with fire!

I know with a certain bios version on my board, if I am forced to clear cmos no matter what I do it will stick at 6x. So it's down to updating your bios.

I am on the latest version so I can't update I'm afraid :(

I also hit a wall at 310 fsb x11 although this seams pretty stable ( putting it through prime 95 at the moment)



By the way guys, found the speed step setting, it only shows up when the multi is set to auto.


Is it worth noting that when ever it takes its self back to x6 the computer ( after clicking save and exit in bios) restarts completely I.E switches everything of, fans etc rather then the usual seamless restart?

Since I can't get passed 3.45 ghz at the moment, just experimenting around. ( to be deemed a success needs to be able to boot into windows and run super pi 1 million)

6x400 success
6.5x400 success
7x400 success
7.5x400 success
8x380 success
8.5x365 success
9x365 success
9.5x355 success
10x340 success
10.5x326 success
11x312 success
11.5x290 success
12x286 success
12.5x272 success

All results were used using JM's settings with FSB strap at 400mhz and DDR3 at the max setting each time.
I think the results are pretty interesting and I think with this info and your help I can get an even better OC, interesting enough 355x9.5 and 340x10 got the same super pi results of 15.865 with only one other beating them ( can't remember which now whoops)

So I will be going with 340x10 for the time being.

Panther, go ahead and update the BIOS to the most recent version. That will help you out alot. I advise to actually download the KetXx modded Bios rather than the one from ASUS, his Bios's are way more stable than the ASUS ones and they add more memory support also.

Did not think he had ones for the Q3?

Just read read his thread and it seams that Q3's are still not supported, did ask there to confirm though.
 
well if your board isn't supported then atleast make sure you have the latest one from ASUS

I have :P

I've said this like 5 times now, 4 times in this thread alone, 1 time on this very page he he.
 
jM, I have a new high OC! I just ran it guessing the settings, so I could probably go higher with more tweaking...
E5200 4GHz.jpg

This is with C0 stepping as well, so I have a lower FSB wall. :(

3.5ghz @10x 350.

Slowly getting there :D

Thanks to ket for giving my a slightly modded bios.
 
Well, I'm stumped, I haven't been able to get past 320FSB at all now.

Freaking weak!

:(
