E5200 OC/BenchMark Thread.(56k warning)

JM IF YOU DON'T ADD THIS SOON THEN I WILL BE MILDLY DISPLEASED. :)
4_1 GHz.jpg

C0 stepping, 4102.2 MHz, FSB is 328.2 MHz, epic win!
It took 1.61 volts in the BIOS, 1.51 FSB voltage, and the maximum temps never got above 50 degrees when running WPrime32. :D
I am sooooo sick of being listed as 3.6 GHz, that is just a rubbish score, even for C0 stepping!!

Okay now I'm restarting my comp and putting this poor thing back to 3.8 GHz...

I'm using a Thermaltake Mini Typ 90; just look in my system specs.
You should fill out your specs as well, most people on TPU use it for information.
I wish I had an M0 stepping, those don't have such a low FSB wall...
 
Alright i'll go fill it out now, I wonder why my temps suck so bad on air. Probably just c*** sensors.

What cooler are you using with it? My cheapass Thermaltake is actually fairly decent, although I'm not sure how well it'd go on a quad core...
 
This is a freaking nub question, but I can't for the life of me get my FSB and RAM set to 1:1 - CPU-Z constantly states 1:2 (or 5:8). Anyone?
 
I have the same problem I'C'.

So I would appreciate some one knowing this too XD

1:1 with 200FSB CPU and DDR3. Why would you like 1:1 that would set the memory too low IMO.

Add him for the love of God :D.
 
Just most people seem to have their systems set at 1:1 so that they can OC higher - I'm hoping mine will suffice just I can never seem to get it to run at 1:1. Even with the FSB at 200 the ratio still is being reported as 1:2.
 
Giving you a net of 800mhz DDR3 @ 200mhz fsb. That's all it is, it's due to the DDR3 standard. So your sticks are rated for 1333, which means you can do up to 333fsb 1:2 without overclocking your memory and setting a different ratio. :)

How can I get my ram to run at a full 1600 mhz?

by the by in CPUZ it lists it running at 560mhz, does that mean its x3 ( due to ddr3) or is that what its actually running at?
 
Ur at 1120. ;)

Please post a CPUz for me.
 
Call me old fashion but would it not make sense to show the actual speed? or perhaps both?

anyway

May want to email for a feature request.

Your probably going to need a weird ram ratio. Something stronger than 1:2, maybe 3:8. That would bring it up just a hair under 1600. I will read over some information to see if you can set that ratio.

Oh and check your timings, at your current ram bandwith you should be able to do at least 6-6-6-24.
 
Thing is I can't manually set the ratio, so I'm not sure just how to change it.

Thanks for the timing info I will check that out later.
 
Set AI tweaker to manual if it isn't already and change it there.
 
!

You may be able to get an impressive over clock if you can have voltages that low for that speed.

I dont want to go any higher until i can lower down my idle temp. It is freaking idle at 42 C if i turn on my air con at temp of 24 C. If i turn off the air condition, idle temp will go as high of 52 C.

I guess my cheapskate casing has really really bad air ventilation, if i can successfully mod the casing and bring down the temp, i might consider to go higher :D
 
i figure this might be the best thread to ask, im selling my system to a friend, and since im out of a job till summer im looking into something cheap that will OC well.

those E5200s seem to hit 3.0ghz+ easy , are they faster than a AMD 6000+ when both are at 3.0ghz? i would like it to be faster than my amd system for the following months.

Also intel boards seem to be very expensive, the e5200 is like 50 euros new, are there any boards that are cheaper than the cpu itself that OC past 3.0ghz? even the older P35s go for like 70-80 euros, are there any alternatives? any chance someone is selling a good board for cheap?

thanks

Its my Thermalright IFX-14 and passive gives me the same temps as with a 3000rpm Scythe Ultra Kaze (133CFM).

:respect::respect::respect:

On what cooling was that done ?

Single Stage Phase Change, the compressor is 3/4hp :D

The board I`m using should not be much more expensive than that you are looking for. And it is made for E5200. For example neo3-f is 80$ on newegg and my version should be much much cheaper than that so that would be my suggestion. I had 5-6 E5200 on this mobo and all got to at least 3.8 GHz at no more than 1.45V. So MSI P43 neo-f would be my suggestion.
 
Add him for the love of God :D.

I heartily agree! :laugh:

I've noticed you're using the MSI P43 Neo-F; what kind of voltages are you running with it? I want to know whether its my CPU or my motherboard holding back my overclock.

If budget wise, the Gigabyte G31M board will fit nicely in. It should cost around EUR 40 (based on conversion from my purchase price of MYR 190). I am using this board, and can OC to 3.4GHz with default voltage, and can run stable after hours of gaming (playing Assassin's Creed which is highly intensive for both CPU & GPU.

If you want some hardcore OC action, you should follow suggestion from the rest. Else, i will suggest this cheap little board. :)
