E5200 oc

Bolletje · Nov 10, 2009, 06:57 PM

Just got an E5200 real cheap.

I'm overclocking with a G31M-ES2L and it's great

CPU-Z Validator 3.1

3,75 GHz stable 8)

Do you guys also have a budget CPU that clocks great?

I just want some more activity over here :P

My E2180 that I picked up for $50 after a $25 MIR is holding at 3Ghz but I'm stuck there because of my board. Silly Nvidia chipset.

Bolletje · Nov 10, 2009, 08:14 PM

Well, it's running fine @ 3,75 GHz now.

Prime stable, so I think a 4GHz+ SPI run is plausible.

i dont think there chip set has anything to do with overclocking your cpu..

Well, it has. FSB is related to the NB remember?

i know that but look what cpu hes using hes pushing it hard... i'm on stock fan so i wont be overcloacking anytime soon... but have the software to do it...

Hard? In most cases it isn't that difficult to get it past 3,33 GHz.

Maybe he has an shitty CPU that doens't overclocks really well.

With the NB-FSB I was talking about overclocking in general.

Compared to the price of a fresh Core i7 (1366) build, does a Q9550 count?

Optix · Nov 13, 2009, 01:57 AM

This is getting away from the topic but I suppose my CPU is not the best. The VID is in the upper range (1.325v) and I believe I have the later stepping however the 650i chipset is notorious for putting up a stink with memory plus my board as a HUGE FSB hole that I cannot go beyond, generally about 400mhz - 460mhz with reviews and user feedback to back this up.

For the record, 3Ghz is not pushing this chip hard. The thread from another forum below will show what these chips are capable of with a slightly modified yet middle of the road air cooler although I am well aware that one chip will not overclock as well as another.

Overclock isn't directly related to the VID although a lot of people think so.

It is when your VID is in the upper limit, which mine is. Different chips can take voltage beyond the maximum VID but for the most part I have found that the lower the VID, the more headroom you have.

I think 'luck' is the important thing :P

Please post your findings. I'm interested. O&C isn't visited that much on this site... :o

have you tried to update bios to see if that helps it get over 460mhz?

I have been tempted but the changes listed for the new ones don't seem related to my problem. It's mostly for memory and CPU support. While I am sure there is more going on than is documented but I'm a firm believer that if your BIOS isn't broken, don't fix it.

Maybe I'll give it a shot before I sell of my hardware when I upgrade but for now a 1Ghz overclock on a $50 chip suits me just fine.

I'm surprised the overclocking section isn't frequented as often as I feel it should be, especially since overclocking is now becoming a more common activity.

Haha yeah i love theses cheap chips overclock well

i agree dont mess with my bios..it running fine...

Those are some pretty good Ocs what Cooler you using? Megahelm on all?

Bolletje · Nov 24, 2009, 11:06 AM

Mwa, you don't really need a good cooler for those clocks. Heat output is quite low on those budget chips...

Nevertheless nice clocks

blibbax · Nov 24, 2009, 12:17 PM

I've got my E2220 at 3.0Ghz at the moment, but it's at load at about 50 degrees and the voltage is, if I remember rightly, only 1.34, so there's a lot of room in it. I'm going to try and see how far it can go (with my bottom of the line AC HS & Fan :P ) some time when I can get round to it

Uhh everyone apart from the E3200 the rest where done on a Xigmatek Achilles

E3200 was on my megahalem.

Yeah you can get fairly high, Stable clocks without to much effort on a stock cooler.

I bet 3.4 maybe 3.6.

~~RE III - Frankie~~ · Jan 12, 2010, 03:20 AM

From what I know, dual cores go really high provided you have a exterme mb and ram, without these, probably don't expect to game on high overclocks for too long. Asus boards are good and Corsair and Kingston are as well.

anonemus · Jan 12, 2010, 04:00 AM

When I game, I OC my E5200 up to 3.8Ghz using Kingston Value Rams and a $10 CPU cooler. I attribute this mainly to my Gigabyte G31M-S2C mobo.

Indeed, I also have a Gigabyte G31 motherboard. I think it's a really good combo with the processor.

How much voltage do you need for that overclock?

anonemus · Jan 12, 2010, 11:58 AM

1.296v. This with my previous $12 cooler (Asus VRGuard). Haven't tried it with my new $10 one yet. Maybe this weekend

Gigabyte G31+E5200 is really awesome for budget gamers. I wonder what's the Giga H55 + i3 equivalent will be?

Bolletje · Jan 12, 2010, 05:18 PM

And what voltage in BIOS? 1.35V or so?

anonemus · Jan 12, 2010, 10:23 PM

That I don't remember except I don't go beyond 1.36v.
