This is my 24/7 overclock max boot OS overclock 3.9 GHz at same volts vtt and sb voltages to 1.5v max post in bios OC 3.93GHz
I`m certain that this cpu can do more but bios is limited to +0.3volts = 1.45 but with massive vdroop 1.45 = 1.4 on load
I found one bios from similar board that can unlock all voltages I`m going to try that when I have nothing better to do.

Thanks r9! Good to see this thread finally on a roll

Be careful of flashing your bios like that. If it works Keep me posted. I know this chip can reach past 4.2ghz but im still tinkering with my bios (i've only had it just under 3 weeks)Only thing that i dont like about this chip is that in order for me to reach 4+ghz i have to use 1.5v or more:shadedshu I know its possible to do it, maybe i can reach 4.5 or more with a lil added NB volts. (haven't tried yet)

next time i go round my sisters ill try and push her a little further whats max volts do you think i should use ??? on a fresh arctic frezzer and i know the p31-ds3L wont let me down

Well if the cooling is adaqete enough im sure you can do 1.575v(in BIOS) thats what i used to get to 4.2. I wont push it much past that because im scared too lol:shadedshu When I buy a new E8500 during income tax season, be sure to see me hit 4.5ghz and more. I saw a guy on HWBot.org that has the 1st plce harware rank for the E5200 @ 5.2 @ 1.78v (on LN2 though)

 

[Error 404]

Well, I've had a look at some of the other overclocking forums on the web, and it looks like this chip tends to bottom out at around 330 FSB. Thats still plenty for a nice overclock!
CAN'T WAIT UNTIL CHRISTMAS!

 

[r9]

wprime score

 

[_jM]

r9, I need that score to be posted along with a cpu-z screen shot bro. I know its legit in all, but if we are going to do this, lets do it the right way. No exceptions

 

[r9]

This is at 3.86 I don`t see any improvement over 3.8Ghz.

Today I get Glacial PSU 650W 12v-1=25A 12v2=20A I hoped that will increase the overclock and stability and it did but not by much.
And I don`t know what is with my PC this is third PSU that is doing noises when loaded I tough that last two were screaming because they were not packing enough power.
But the new PSU is doing the same.

 

[r9]

And it would be nice to see scores of some one with E7X00 and E8X00 with same CPU, RAM frequency and RAM timings will post scores for comparaison.
So it will be clear what cache sizes and FSB mean for performance in synthetic test at least.

My 24/7 OC

3.8Ghz 1.45vcore in bios




Will hit bench @ 4Ghz with 1.525vcore... abit much for air

 

[mitsirfishi]

Lt JWS disable EIST in your bios and any other power saving features from causing the cpu to flux between multipliers also dont forget when you set to 1.525 think about the vdroop it probilly will drop to 1.5 when loaded so it should be all fine

 

[Lt_JWS]

lt jws disable EIST in your bios and any other power saving features from causing the cpu to flux between multipliers

For some reason my chip clocks better with EIST enabled... also for some strange reason i can only go up to 12 multi with EIST disabled(have the latest bios before you ask) .....

Thank you for your post man. Did you want It added to the score list?

About your volts. 1.525-1.55 is good , nothing to worry about, when you get to 1.6 and more thats when you really need to start keeping a close eye on those temps. My 4.2 clock was @ 1.55 with a v-droop @ 1.52. I have to push my volts to 1.575 to keep it stable enough to run 3DMARK06 with this 9800GT OverClocked If you read the top 100 hardware ranking for the E5200 (im in 12th place ) The 1st place user is running @ 5.1ghz and volts @ 1.9 but he's useing LN2 to cool it. So you can see that these M0-stepping 5200's can take the volts , you just need to be able to cool what you push it to

My highest OC settings:

Multi: 12.5
FSB : 340mhz
Volts: 1.52v

Clock Speeds E5200 @ 4.25ghz FSB @ 1360
Dram:CPU ratio @ 5:8
Memory timings are 5-5-5-15 2T Freq@ 1088mhz
I also changed my Load Line Calibration to Enabled and CPU spread spectrum to disabled.Under Advanced CPU I changed C1E Support to Disabled.

All of my tests have been ran using those same settings

Using an ASUS P5Q-PRO P45, 2gb of G.Skill DDR2 1066, CORSAIR HX620 PSU, and a Tuniq Tower 120 on the CPU.

I'll put up a 4Ghz or better then you can add it Once i go over 1.5vcore this thing really puts out some heat.

 

[_jM]

Oh and im not sure for other boards/users but I disabled the Speed Step, seems to work better for me

Re-read the post again I edited it when you posted your reply. There's some useful info for ya

 

[_jM]

Ok this is a pic from hwbot.org from the highest clock on a E5200 ON AIR that Ive seen yet.. Look @ his FSB and the speed.. WTF I know I have adequate cooling to push this chip that far also on air or at least to 4.5ghz.. but once i hit 12.5X343@ 4.3ghz... windows will not load..WTF is this guy doing that I cant. This P5Q Pro can do that and more im just not sure how to get this sucker that high on AIR... hrmmm

The Highest Yet Ive seen on this chip is 12.5X405 @5.1ghz on LN2... So that's proof that the 333 FSB wall isn't true...

 

[mitsirfishi]

tried raising other variuos voltages apart from cpu like your northbridge southbridge cpu pll and other things suppose you could try 1.6 on suiside

I did try 1.6v on the cpu but I was a lil scetchy about it so i rebooted and put it back down

OK heres 1.6v http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=461319

 

[Charper2013]

Cant wait till I get my E5200 this christmas. Wish me luck on getting one of the good chips!

Good luck Im sure if you buy from the Egg you will get a M0 stepping, seems that they have an abundant stock of them, everyone I know that has got one so far has been M0 stepping


Speaking of... to the people that have bought one so far.. where ya at... we need some competition here

 

[Beny-Nvidia]

i have an E5200 Too ... how can i OC It Safely ? :-? til 3.2 ? :-? is 1.375 Voltage Enough ? :-?
?

 

[_jM]

You can safely run that chip at 3.6 (11X333)@ 3.6ghz with 1.375v... as a matter of fact thats my 24/7 clock

Try and upp the CPU volts to 1.58v and 12.5x340 that will give you just a tad over 4.2 and you will be able to run SuperPi... thats what I used when i run @4.24ghz. Now I have NOT tryed to see if that is Prime95 stable, at those volts Im sure it will heat up like my old P4 Presscott core @ 4.1ghz lol , that chip was a frickn monster for heat. Now if you take a minute and go over to HWBot.org and look at the Hardware Ranks for the E5200 just look at the high clockers that are on air. There are a few of em on LN2 but they are putting 1.9v through this bad boy @ 12.5X405 for a 5.1ghz OC. I believe the highest one there is at 4.56ghz 12.5X360 1.65v and more all on air, and im not sure how the fak they did it either.

These chips are touchy. Once you get past 4.0GHZ, it's hit and miss. 3.875 is a 24/7 stable clock for me, any higher and it's BSOD's. I gto it to run Super PI at 4.1GHZ once and clicked off a 14.134, but my ram was running slow. Now I have it over 900, then I should be able to get a nice score. I have done suicide runs at 1.6V to get 4.3, but it wont go there.
