current just OC 0.1GHz
with 1x kingmax 2gb ddr2 667
It is idle at 50C, why is it so high?
any advice can be given for OC this noob cpu?

Stock cooler?

i not really know what the meaning of stock cooler
i think the answer is yes
it is just a heat sink

Use high performance cpu cooler can allow you oc further ..

if not OC, still idle at 50'C or less? try to clean your heatsink fan first.
increase the fsb without touch any voltage first. see how far this cheap can go without
touching any voltage.

heat sink can touch water 1? or mop with a dry cloth?
idle already 50C, still safe to OC? (still not yet clean)

It depend on your budget also ...

you can clean the HSF using brush to clean the dust (if there's any)
idle oredy 50'C, so have you try t0 stress it (load) ? how high is the load temp.

you can get hyper TX3 for RM65 from lingloong
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/954114

this is my cpu temp after 5mins of stress test.
what is the "11-11-11-27" timing ? clock speed between cpu n ram? do i need to change it? ( 11-11-11-27 not my timing, just an example )

where do you see those 11-11-11-27. in the cpuz>memory tab?
its ram timing not clock speed. if you are using ddr2, the ram timing is
4-4-4-X or 5-5-5-X. the tightest (lower/ smaller number) you can set the better speed you can get.

btw your temp there is a bit high compare to others that use the same chip as yours..
you can try googling around to find other E2200 OC result

my ram timing is 5-5-5-15 , i found ram speed in bios , 667mhz n 800mhz n auto, current setting is auto , should change to 800mhz ?

This is the stress test result after a GOTONG-ROYONG , at 5th minutes:

It -5C compared before cleaning the heat sink + fan
idle at 45~46C

at the same time, i checked the bios
i found Smart Fan
it got some settings but i not really know what those means (not really rmb, something like below)
Fans start rpm : 28 or 23
Fans start at temp : 43 changed to 40
CPUID (or something else) : +3 changed to +4
xxxxxxx: 5rpm/C changed to 10rpm/C

how to change the fans setting to make it(fan) run at max speed to ensure my cpu at its lower temp?

Added on May 27, 2012, 10:44 pmAfter config fastest speed on fans,
idle temp about 40C ~

Added on May 27, 2012, 10:50 pmAfter 5mins stress test,
max temp is 79C
time to oc?

Added on May 27, 2012, 11:09 pmOC to 2.5ghz
230x11 = 2530
after 5mins stress test, max temp is 83C.
Tj. max is 85c, so it is this the max oc for me because of the temp ?~

---

Added on May 27, 2012, 11:28 pmOC to 2.8ghz
255 x 11 = 2805
after 5mins stress test, is 83C but it reached Tj. max
Successfully
i will try oc to 3.0 or 3.2 when i get a better cooler

on stock heatsink .. idle @ 40c consider very good .. if can invest some $$$ on high performance casing fan and some decent good quality CPU cooler you might get below 38c ...

Tj. max is 85c , can i over that limit ?
last time i didn't tight nicely my heatsink n fan
then the temp after startup windows is 101c ! lol
means proc can reach 90c+ without any risk?
