Overclocking Intel E5200

[siddhantmahajan]

i have the config mentioned below. could anyone tell me how much can i overclock with it . i have a stock cooler for the procy

4G is doable if your chip is good enough

 

[damn]

It all depends on what temperatures you are comfortable with, ~3.4 should be very easy.

@damn thanx dude

@amey tell me dude wht do i need to do abt the chip

 

[goodakash]

well, I have overclocked mine to 3.45ghz on stock HS, and stock voltage.....temps are around 38-39 idle and 55-56 at full load checked with RealTemp....

GigaByte G31 ES2L is a gud mobo with lot of OC'ing options but it won't go beyond the 3.4G barrier on stock cooler with E5200.

btw my new cooler is on the way home, let me see wat dat it can do to the E5200 with my new G Skill kits

 

[dragon_unleashed]

3.2 to 3.3ghz max on stock cooler to be on a safer side...

 

[Amien]

You probably don't need aftermarket cooling till you start increasing voltage, It's always good to have it though.
@Jin
The mobo has nothing to do with it in this scenario.

^^yeah don't go beyond 3.2-3.3ghz on stock cooling

 

[siddhantmahajan]

i have oc it to 3.25GHz with the stock cooler

maybe will get a cooler soon

so lets see then how much will it reach

 

[vinaycm]

I can easily run my E5200 on 3.33GHz with undervolts.. Max load temps of jst 52degress with the intel stock cooler..

@Vinay/OP
Here's mine @ 3.3core clock/1200FSB(note 1.088V at load ):-

Try geting more FSB out of it to reach the same clock speed.
Max i've done on stock voltage is 319(1276Mhz FSB) x11 Multi = , ratio 2.66 = 3500Mhz, OCCT Stable.

BTW, OCing more than this won't be of much benefit since you have an 8600GT, it'll get bogged down.
Good luck

@ Amien

What's the max load temps & the cooler used??

 

[Amien]

Stock E5200 cooler, Tuniq TX2 thermal paste. Temps just touch over 50 on max/extended periods of load, similar temps to yours...

 

[Amey]

If you are lucky, this is what E5200 is capable of

 

[udayrulz]

^ If you are Passing 1.568V to reach 4.5 Ghz , then can't really say you are lucky in the sense that you have an great chip

pumping voltage doesn't guarantee sureshot clocks

Anyway, Its a 5200, cant expect these chips to be binned too well. I haven't seen many 5200 do such clocks on AIR at lesser vcore, have you ?

Now that's an awesome chip

@ Siddhant .. with 667 Mhz ram your current OC is optimal .

PS : This is just a random screenie i pulled of XS :gap:

 

[Amey]

Sweet chip indeed ! No two ways about it.Thanks for pointing out.

 

[j1n M@tt]

well here is mine on stock air :
