Damn thats BLAZING!!!

you tha man!
Sick!

here's my score with a E5200 2.5ghz/800mhz FSB @ 4.16ghz/1331mhz FSB 1.48v

good? or not?

 

[wolf]

that score is pretty spot on when you look at the scores above and below yours and the fact that those cpu's have 3 times the cache.

Keep tweaking BUT .. good job! FYI guys, looking at getting an e5200 myself come mid-January.

 

[wolf]

same, i love playing with the low fsb - high multi chips, they do well!

right now i use an E4700 (2.6 - 800fsb) at 3466mhz, on a smidge above stock volts, so i really want to see how well a 45nm part does

Im tell'n ya.. for a budget CPU with only a 2M L2 cache, this thing OC's like a champ!
And the price can't be beat. Im prolly going to buy an E8500 come tax season and a test station with W/C just to see how far i can push this CPU.
I heard that if you want an E5200 (like mine) that can OC like crazy, make sure the pack date is later than 7-1-08. The pack date on my CPU is 9-12-08, M0 stepping. This CPU has the option to go from 6x-12.5x multiplier

hopefully one of the other celeron's i have on the way will clock past your's and we will see how a 512kb chip scores with a clock over 4ghz

hmm cant wait to see that myself. I can push this upwards to 5ghz but im pretty sure I wont be able to run any tests/benches untill i put a waterblock on it. This Tuniq Tower does very well for air cooling, but like I said.. i pretty sure all i can get out of it will be 4.5ghz on air. I will try that tomorrow and post some pics for yall I feel like crap, my son gave me strep-throat and i feel like shit so im going to bed in a min or two.

EDIT: Im really itch'n to see a 100% OC on this chip..

I discovered that one of the 512 MB sticks of memory I had was going bad, so I removed both. they were actually limiting my computer, made another run and shaved off over a second at the exact same speed.

even the unthinkable can make a world of a difference. I updated the list with your better run

 

[chuck216]

Thanks Chick, Would still like to see more dual core athlon runs, I can't have the fastest one out there considering all the watercooled setups out there, or have they all upgraded to the quad cores already?

Let's face it if I can hit 3335 Mhz on air with the stock HSF, one of you should easily be able to hit 3500Mhz Plus, BTW I have had mine as high as 3364 Mhz but due to having to cut back the memory timings for stability it actually runs this bench slower than at 3335 Mhz

 

[3dsage]

Damn you Chuck216 i'm never going to catch you, Nice run.

Sorry Sage, but let's face it I've got less overhead to reach the higher speeds I'm starting out at 2900 Mhz and only have to reach 3335 so only a 15% overclock where your processor is 2600 Mhz at stock speed and is running ~3160 Mhz+ or a 22.5% OC so you're actually doing quite well. I did notice that your's isn't the BE or is that just a CPU-Z oversight?

 

[3dsage]

Its not a BE, so I have alot of obstacles to get up there to 3.3. I regret not dishing out the extra 20$ for a BE though.

Mine's not the BE either, but it's done fine so far BTW I decided to try a run at the same speed you're running at and the results are interesting.. Mine is over a second faster so there must be something with my processor or memory timings I guess that hits a sweet spot.

PS: this is just for comparison not a submission

 

[3dsage]

I think it got to do with your mem timings. Ima try to figure out a way to hit 3.3 by today.
Suicide Run here I come, lol.

Easiest way is 13 Multi (your max) and a 254 Mhz clock you might have to up the voltage to 1.45 or so and wouldn't hurt to up the ram voltage a notch too. and of course lowering the HT link to 600 helps a little for stability, as far as my memory timings, i've actually been leaving that on Auto in the bios, except for setting it to "Limit" at 667 during the 3335 Mhz runs

 

[3dsage]

Its weird I cant go past 250fsb with my multi that high, even with 1.5V thrown at it and ram @333 ht @ 800.

But if i drop the multi I can crank the fsb up to 275. IDK, there has to be something to it.
I might give it 1.55v for a suicide run though.

Try 12*275 That's exactly 3300 Mhz, and drop ht to 600 if needed you might want to set the memory to "limited" instead of manual as manual may raise it too high when I run 12*267 (3200) my memory runs at 800 mhz and it's only pc 667, so lowering it to 533 may even be in order.

 

[3dsage]

Still no luck, tried 12*275, 270, 265 with 1.55v, Mem 333, ht 600, no luck. I think thats all my cpu got for me. I could post and even login @265 but, it would just BSOD.

Its about ,Time for a new cpu, i might sell this one off and go for a X3 BE.
Thanks for the help though.

yeah, I gotta go and get my buddies rig and do a pass, see how it does. I will probably set the phenom on one core and do a few passes with only one core enabled, see how it does

AMD XP2800+

thought i might as well throw it in
