Overclocking issues with Intel E5200 on Gigabyte G31M-ES2L !

@OP:

Can we start from the beginning. It is getting all jumbled up.

If possible lets do this:

1. Bring you system to stock -- from the BIOS. Reset it to system defaults. And then stress it.

2. Now slowly start the OC process. But do not touch the RAM settings. Keep it on EPP. What is the highest you can take it too -- and it sustains stress.

3. Now change the DRAM:FSB settings for RAM, and see where you get.

^^ If you are using the stock cooler, don't pump up the vcore. It's also better not to OC at all on a stock cooler. Secondly, your RAM isn't able to run at 800MHz. Whenever you overclock, remember these
1. Ensure proper cooling (case ventilation, cable management and a third party cooler)
2. Stress test to ensure stability.
3. Good PSU to handle increased power demand.

I'm using Sunbeam CCF so I think I can manage 3.2Ghz provided my system is stable . I need to know how much overvoltage for RAM to keep it stable @ 800mhz ? Also I got Corsair HX620Watt psu .
 
Is it a value RAM? which one? See if you can unlink RAM. Value RAMs are intended for OCing. Don't push too much, they may give up.
 
Simply put value ram is always the cheapest one with loosened timings. I think you have a normal RAM sticks with no heat spreader. These RAMs will run only at their rated specs, so you better don't meddle with them. As I said unlink the RAMs so thet when you increase the FSB, the RAM speed doesn't get affected.
 
@Scorpy:

You are running in circles. Isolate the problem. CPU heat / bad ratios / RAM instability. Get one metric stable, then move to the next. OC it to max, with RAM fixed not moving, then try the RAM. What is the RAM model number on the sticks..?
 
Haven't used this mobo and some mobos don't even support unlinking. So you are on your own to find it out. You can also try changing the FSB to DRAM ratio.
 
@Scorpy:

When you move the FSB values in the BIOS, does the DRAM : FSB ratio change also...?
 
Yes It does . The ratio is currently at 2x multiplier so my cpu is E6400 8 x 375fsb=3Ghz

and my ram = 2 x 375fsb = 750mhz . ramovervolatage is +2 and that of cpu is +1 . vcore 1.42xxxx in bios and showing 1.376 in cpuz
 
Sorry People,

Got little busy ! So could not keep up with the thread,

Any way after some research i found that the MOBO is Culprit,
All of sudden the board ceases to supply any more volt then the default 1.26 to the CPU (I,e Default VID of My CPU) no matter how much vcore you pump through Bios, Presently Vcore in bios is 1.4 V But reading in windows is just 1.26 I,e Everest Ultimate Edi (1.25V) & Cpuz (1.268 ) that is why i am not able to cross the limlit of 3.4 Ghz (even without Graphics Card),

This is very strange case, as earlier i was able to get up to 3.8Ghz with 1.42 in bios ( 1.4 In windows) even tested for stabilty with Everest System Stability Test for 1Hour with Max temp @ 66 Deg.

I have tried with various Bios but no luck:(,any body there to trouble shoot this.
 
^^

the board doesn't set manual voltages if proper OC mode is not selected..

install gigabyte easy Tune supplied in motherboard cd and tweak from there...

Tried with easy tune, not working !

Could u post all bios settings u using in the MIT window ?
 
Ok ! Thanks all for your advice especially@madnav, Finally got stable at 3.6 ghz @1.315 with some tweaking with Easytune (though i miss the 3.8Ghz @ 1.4V from Bios).

But the puzzle of mobo not able to pump any voltage (other then default) to cpu from BIOS still remains the same, any more suggestion trouble shooting the same are still welcome.
 
Dude can you please post your bios settings . I would love to have an OC like that on my E6400 with Sunbeam ccf

Mate,

Sure will post the same, But sorry if iam disappointing you, with an E6400 i do not think this motherboard can reach such clocks, because E6400 uses a very low multiplier I,e 8X. So your FSB (450 Approx) will be quite high which i doubt this mobo will support.
