E5200 OC/BenchMark Thread.(56k warning)

Error 404 said:
My FSB wall is 330 MHz!!! :mad:
My current volts to achieve 4 GHz are about 1.56v CPU and 1.4 volts for FSB. My motherboard colours the numbers red when I put the volts higher than that, so I assume that means "DANGER, EXPLOSION POSSIBLE". Should I risk it and try pumping my FSB voltage higher?

1.2 is stock voltage for the FSB right? I think you could get it up to 1.5 or 1.6.

I think mine is set at 1.68 at the moment <_<

I'd wait for some more experienced people to say things though.

@_JM stop showing off :P Spare me some of that kit will you? he he
 
I'll try upping the voltage tomorow, but I'm going to tear down, clean, and rebuild my rig sometime in the next few days. It needs a good clean, and the fans need greasing, and the cables need managing...
 
@Error

What clocks+voltage are you at for 24/7? Only reason I ask it seems yours clocks the same as mine.

I run it at 3.81 GHz (FSB 305 MHz) with 1.51 volts CPU Core, 1.4 volts FSB, 1.16 MHC (RAM is OC'ed as well), and there are two settings called CPU GTL 0 and 1. I'm not sure what these do but they go up when I raise the FSB voltage.
My E5200 is a C0 stepping, so it requires more volts to get high clocks.
 
Correct me if I am wrong but weren't e5200's M0 & R0 only? But either way BIG THANK YOU!!!! :)
 
Corrected! :p

C0 stepping is lame, needs lots of volts...

okay I know stupid question but I've been fiddling with my i7 board and I seriously think I forgot how to get a 1:1 fsb:dram ratio for bus spd of 272x12.5 ram is pc 6400

*edit motherboard is a ep45-ud3p

If you have the right option, setting the ratio of FSB:RAM to 1:1.5 should work: at that FSB speed it will mean your RAM is running at 816 MHz, which should be fine.


JM UPDATE STATS PLEEEEZ! I want my 4 GHz to be recorded, sick of being listed as 3.6 GHz... :cry:
 
okay that's what I actually had it set to, just that cpu-z reads fsb:dram 2:3 and everest reads 12:8 thanks for the info :)
 
stupid question, but how hot should i let the chip go? intel's site says 74.1°C, which seems a little high to me.

currently overclocked to 3ghz with the stock cooler and stopping till i am sure it's alright to push past 62-63° load temp, or i get a new hsf

Over 60 degrees is not good! Replace that stock cooler and keep that poor E5200 nice and cool. :cool:
 
thought so, honestly a little surprised it's still that low though, stock cooler and been running at 100% for the last 14 hours
 
What is the highest FSB you guys have seen on this chip?

@ x12.5
 
some advice pls

Hello All, I am new to this forum and i am totally noob on OC. But as a noob, i am happy that i can OC my 2.5GHz E5200 to 3.0 GHz, using stock cooler.

After reading quite some articles, i am quite concern over the high CPU temp of mine.

Using RivaTuner Everest plugin, idel temp reading is:
CPU 0 = 52°C (which i suppose to be the same as Core0, Core1)
CPU 1 = 47°C

But, there is another CPU temp which reach much lower at 38°C only. (what is this?)

And below is the temp after running around 1 hour+ of Prime95, screenshot taken while Prime95 still running.

CPU 0 = 73°C
CPU 1 = 70°C

Other softwares which are freely available (RealTemp, CoreTemp, HW Monitor) show identical result.

My question is why my temperate is so high compare to others? The CPU cooler was assist to install by PC technician, and i watched him installed it carefully for me, so i suppose no problem on the cooler installation. Am i getting a faulty CPU? Or should i reduce the voltage?

Thanks!

Could adjust the fan in bios to run at a higher rpm. Now I am just assuming the fan is throttling in correspondence with the cpu temps. Can you please list full specs of system.

JR thanks for your quick reply. I will try to change my fan speed in BIOS.

My specs are as below:

Gigabyte G31M-ES2L (G31 chipset)
Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 (OC to 3.0GHz)
Sapphire Radeon HD4830 512MB (default clock)
Corsair XMS2 2GB * 2
WD Caviar Green 500GB SATA HDD
Maxtor 160GB IDE HDD
Lite-On 22X IDE DVD Burner
PowerLogic Modena GTX2000 casing + 500W PSU (250W Pure Power)

OK in PC Health Staus in your bios setup, if Smart fan control is enabled, disable it. EDIT: Also if you wish to cut down on noise with it enabled, you can adjust the cpu fan parameters in EasyTune If it is disabled my previous posts are null and void. Best to look at a 3rd party cooler until then enjoy 3Ghz. :)

EDIT:

@_jM

Here's a couple benches at my new 24/7 settings. I still need to work on my ram clocks.

JR you're the man!!! after disable the smart fan control, the CPU temp drop by 12°C.

fan was running at about 1700+RPM, now running at 3100+RPM

i OC to 3.33GHz after the CPU temp drop. but what bizzare me is that i set CPU voltage to 1.3125V in BIOS, but it turn out as 1.088V in Windows (I am using Windows XP 32bit).

Can you shed some light on how this voltage thingy works? Thanks!

Below is my CPU temp after running about 20 minutes of Prime95

Odds are C1E is enabled. Go back in bios and check. ;)

You are very welcome AND welcome to TPU!!!! Don't forget to fill out sysem specs in "user cp" and make them visible. :)
 
JR again, thank you very much !!! ( i had thanked to all your reply :D)

i will go check out that C1E in BIOS later.

*system spec updated...
 
after disabling the C1E & EIST .. the voltage still show as 1.088 in windows instead of 1.250 (as per BIOS) .. what do you suggest ??
 
BIOS' are usually a little out - with mine set to 1.368 in the BIOS, Windows states 1.344 - it's annoying and something you would have thought manufacturers would be able to fix. Common issue, not much you can do really. Look for the latest BIOS for your board, if that doesn't help, record the values when in Windows and make a table for yourself so that you can use it as a quick reference if you ever need it at a later date.
