Overclocking Intel E5200

thanx guys 
but it was a really a difficult part to reach this level, hav to know the mobo settings like the back of my palm.
well the load temps may go up to between 70-80 depending upon the ambient room temps and mostly I don't use the cabinet when messing around or overclocking. btw I don't think I hav got a gud E5200 chip...there is something wrong with the core 0 on my chip...the prime95 always shows that after running the tests
Anyway I love this rig which I use at home and I havn't got any chance to put a CPU cooler on it, and nobody is ready to lead me a P45 mobo

You mean it isn't stable?
Hey guys,
I got a new E5200 R0 and a ASUS P5KPL AM/PS mobo.
Now tried overclocking,
FSB: 280
Memory: 667
Everything Else: Auto
Vid: Stock 1.278 (Coretemp)
Procy: 3500MHz
The system was OCCT stable for 1 hour with max temp 45C.
When i increased the FSB to 300 i.e 3.75GHz, OCCT crashed.
Will reducing the multiplier will reduce RAM speed?
Or any other way to go more on the overclock.
What would be the safe voltage for E5200 or should i just look at temps not exceeding 60?

Reducing multiplier will not reduce your ram speed..
Try lowering the multiplier & use a higher FSB value to reach a higher overclock.. Also increasing the core voltage a bit will stabilize the system under higher frequencies..
Moreover what ram modules are you using?? Giving some +.1V/+.2V will help to stabilize the system under higher overclocks..
If i reduce the multiplier and increase fsb, the RAM speeds will also increase na.
At 3.750GHz, the RAM speeds were 1000MHz, which i think is difficult for the Transcend 800's to keep up to. Increasing more would only add up to the problem.
Though will try bumping the voltage a bit on the RAM and see if it works.
Is there a real performance difference between 3.75 and max which can be obtained with air?
BTW, like in my earlier X2, in the OS, changing power options used to change processor speeds and voltage but in this, changing options to high performance, but still speedstep keeps changing the speeds. Can't i change this behavior?

Why are you using such a high memory divider?clown_abhi said:
with a 2.66 ratio you'll only hit about 900Mhz on the ram @ 3.7Ghz with a multi of 11. After that sacrifice some FSB and increase multiplier if you want to go for higher overall clockspeed while still staying in the RAM's range.
I hope you are on some good cooling at this point...
The thing is I can't find the memory divider thingy in this mobo. :huh:
I got this mobo bcoz it had all solid capacitors and power regulator but it misses a memory divider, i think.
I selected DDR2-667MHz on memory though.
The good part is everything is at stock except fsb and still the overclock is stable upto 3626MHz with 1 hour OCCT stable and max temperature 44.
300 fsb shows Error on Core 0 instantaneously. Even increasing RAM voltage doesn't work. Is it like 300 a fsb wall or something like that?
Just out of inquisitiveness, what is the 24x7 stable speed max here in TE?
Will i gain any performance from 3.626 to that speed?

Found max stable overclock at 295x12.5 with memory running at 491x2.
Can't go more unless ASUS includes memory divider to 533 also in the BIOS...
For this setting, the proccy needed +50mv extra and its rock stable.
So, Proccy: 3688MHz
RAM: 982MHz Stock volts (I dnt believe the RAM is running atthis speed at stock volts
)
Though, thinking of 3.5GHz 24x7 coz that is without any bump to the vcore. hence a little power saved...
One thing, the minimum speed that goes after enabling Speedstep is somewhere around 1800MHz. Can't it go to 1000 or so like in AMD?

I dnt think u'll need a aftermarket cooler. Anyway, performance is more or less less after 3.5Ghz. :cool2:
Mine goes max 44C. The only think limiting more overclock is my BIOS. Anyway, i am gonna use it for just 2 months so its fine. After that this is going to my home where it will be used only for movies.
