E5200 OC/BenchMark Thread.(56k warning)

I can have high FSB, but the higher multipliers fail hard, 12.5 cant get past 270 even!


What happens if you set the multi to 6, how high can you get the FSB then?

by the way.

3.6ghz now.
 
Even with my multi at 6 it won't boot at 320.

:(
 
I guess now its your turn to post all your bios settings eh.

I'm sure one of us will spot something to help you.
 
I freaking hope so. All I want is for my rig to run at 333(FSB) so that my RAM can run at 1333MHz. I'll post 'em up when I'm home from work.
 
Running 400x9 at the moment :)

x9 and x 10 work great!

everything else struggles past 3.4 ghz
 
:cry:

Not fair!
 
What is your speed again? I remember thinking the same thing at your speed before ket fiddled with my bios.
 
The highest stable OC I've got is 316 x 11 = 3.47GHz. I had to drop it down to 310 though as Red Orchestra kept CTD.

I'm pretty gutted tbh....

Right, these are my current settings. The RAM timings are 6-6-6-20 I had to loosen them to see if it helped, it didn't. Might go back to 6-6-6-15.
 
The FSB termination voltage could be higher. try 1.35.

Also try a trick I have to do to get higher FSB.

Set your FSB to something that it will work at for certain, for instance 280.

then go back into the bios and set it to 320 and see if that works.

( If I don't do this then my overclock fails regardless of voltages etc)


*bare in mind I am new to over clocking but just throwing out some suggestions based on my own experiences.
 
Nah man, I'll try that, thanks!
 
Bring your GTL up to .67 and try 1.4v cpu. May get you up to 3.6.... but i am not too confident on that...

Click to expand...

As far as i've read/heard E5200's like low GTL's.... 0.61x-0.63x range.... I had luck with 0.61x at 4ghz (333x12)
 
hey guys .. wanted to let ya know that I will be updating the scores page again today so If anyone here wants to try for the better, today is the day! Good Luck!
 
_JM can I be added?

Volts had to be pretty high to get this but still :)

Nice seeing you got everything sorted with the multiplier issue. I dont think the volts are all that high tbh.

@miloshs

That is very strange as with my personal chip anything below 4Ghz .63&.61 GTLs fail to boot windows.
 
Yup thanks to ket :)

I think that is as far as I will be able to take it, if I set the voltage past 1.6 in bios I get a "CPU over voltage failure"

Anyway will run 3.6ghz for my 24 hour clock :D
 
I've increased it to 1.30, guess it's time to kick it up a little bit more. ^^
 
1.3 is nothin :p try 1.5 or 1.6.
 
No point having it that high, he is on stock CPU cooler ( unless his specs have not been updated)

So he won't be taking it to far.
 
I am on the stock cooler still. I've got it set to 1.36 which what I've had it set to before but anything past 320FSB and the machine craps out.

:(
 
FSB Termination won't raise temps very much if at all, crank it up and see if 320 is bootable.
 
I'm at 320 now. I'm going to test stability in a minute.
 
WOo go man!
