Picked up an e7200 the other day.



Did some prelim testing...

Stock vid and speed:


Undervolted! Needs only 0.89v for stable operation :ohyeah::


1333 FSB:


3.6 GHz @ 1.15v :ohyeah::


I'm impressed with the chip and it's ultra low power requirements. Should be a suitable buy for those looking for a low power chip but do not want to compromise on performance. Could probably get away with fanless cooling at stock speeds :hap2:.
 
nice clocks. it should hit 4ghz with some tweaking. Its also a good indicator of how 3xxx series will perform
 
What was the approx ambient temp like ? Could you please tell us the best/correct way to get temps of the cores for E7200 ? The more I read about core temps, the more confused I get.

I have the e7200 CPU and after reading thru a few threads in other forums I came to the conclusion that the one which gives the correct CPU temp is Real Temp. This gives me temps lower than the others.

I got core temp to match the reading of Real Temp by making a change in the Settings.ini file in the core temp directory, the change I made is -

[Core Temp settings]
TjMaxOffset=-10

This changed the Tj Max reading in Coretemp to 95C

Similarly in Everest, under Preferences/Hardware Monitoring I changed the Tjmax Temperature to 95C and this change now matches the CPU temp perfectly with Real Temp.

So now RealTemp, CoreTemp and Everest all show the same CPU temp. Attached a screen capture, I have put a red dot against the CPU temp.

If poss could you please confirm this :

basically the theory is the reported core temps should be 4 to 5C above ambient

That is exactly what my core temps are at, my room temp is now 32C and my core temps readings from Real Temp are now 36C and 38C.

Only Real Temp gave me correct temps and I modded Everest and Core Temp to match the Real Temp readings. :)

Fantastic! Looks like i'll have to revisit my decision to get the q6600... I like cool & power saving builds.. For this VID this would easily top the performance/watt charts in this price range (I Assume)!

Any idea what they retail for in Bangalore? & I assume I'll have to flash my DS3L (Rev 2.0; bought april 2nd week from Newegg) for this?
 
Err.
5 minsof Orthos is too less to claim stability imho. :)
I have had nice clocks fail at the 9th/11th/17th min too. :P
Maybe atleast 30mins- i have rarely had a OC fail 4hr Orthos runs if it made past 30-80mins. :ashamed:
 
I'm running it at 3.6GHz now. Ran about 6 loops of 3D mark vantage to begin with, almost 5 hours of Crysis, Some heavy processor intensive task (Ansys) for about half a day + some heavy multitasking. Everything's running fine without a fuss. That's stable enough for me :).
I don't care if it doesn't do 34564 hours of Orthos (which it probably would) :P.
 
I just got an E7200 today. Batch is Q748A519

Here are my idle and load temps at stock speeds:

IDLE - 32-33C (Real Temp and Core temp)

Load - 42-43C (Real Temp and Core temp)

My chip's vid is being shown as 1.2125V

Core temp was modded according to Eazy Sir's suggestion.

Will post OC results soon :)
