btw...C2D shudnt be included here...coz this is considered low end proc...like E1XXX, E2XXX and E5XXX...E7XXX is already a C2D..

Anyone wif oc result of E5200??

the superpi i get is 16.157sec...not high enug for 3.8GHz...My temp is around 49ºC for tat freq..cuz i enable EIST,TC,Virtualization,execute disable bit...xcept C1E oni... BTW, e2160 is rili gud oc proc when ntg to do...Haha! ^^ i oredi trade my 2160 wif a e6300 B2 few months ago... e6300 is veli hard to reach 3.6Ghz..Haiz..

nice oc result...3.8.,..nice nice

u got d best batch...
mine last time, 3.4 je....

lol..my e2140 habis2 oso 3.4 oni..canot go further liao

TQ, but my 2160 last time cant reach 3.6 steadily, then keep push it for few day, then can 3.6 above ad...Rili tough challenge for me tat time...Haha..I wonder G0 stepping will how leh? perhap can 4.0++ at 1.8V dangerous

r u sure e2140 can only go 3.4 only

cause if not mistaken 3.5 oso can reach if not mistaken

Its not how much voltage you pump, but more likely FSB wall. Your proc is pretty lucky. Most E21XX hit FSB wall arnd 400-420

And yes, at such high voltages, not just heat will fry ur proc, but also iinm the internal circuitry will get messed up, current will jump here n there. N that too will kill ur proc Not reli having a background in electronics bt thats what i can gather

lol..lazy wanna go further..not steady enuf lo...some boards hav FSB wall too for ur info..like biostar tp965 express...up to 350 oni..

Haha, yalo, the circuit may fry anytime..e6300 rili cannot climb the wall...sakit hati...but C2D is the name i wan...^^

lol..den go for e7200 lo..now wanna try a e7200...haha

ya, i c ppl can reach 4.5GHz wif e7200.Cool! Goin to get it soon!

well i only got a e7200 yesterday and its pretty disappointing the oc capability.

There are some highly OC-able e7200 batch at e7XXX thread..Veli fantastic..

here are my e5200 oc result.


the highest fsb i can go is 350x7 with 1.378 vcore

h guys...dunno right place or not...

previously was using e2200...den i've mu cpu to a e6600
it clock well to my usage...
but since den...all those pi calculation prog would not work...
i mean like it will stop responding after like 3-4 counts...
yet the system is stabe upon testing with prime, occt, orthos, ibt n so
can any1 help me?

thx

When the window popup for your confirmation to begin counting PI(the 1 which you'll have to press OK), wait for like 5 seconds or more before pressing the OK.

impresive stuff there lloyd1030.....many strugling to pass the fsb wall with e5200.....even 333 is not easy...u manage to get 350....

my e5200 can go 320 stable....since im not a hardcore overclocker... im gonna settle for the low voltage setting : 1.25Vcore 320x10 = 3.2 Ghz...

Added on October 10, 2008, 7:25 pmmy verdict on e5200.....cheap, its all fine till u find out bout the fsb wall, meaning tat its hard overclock using high fsb.......but still not so bad....for RM270 u get plenty of multiplier to play with.....with 12.5 multiplier, who care about the fsb wall....just 320 fsb x 12.5 is enough to send u to 4Ghz....if u dare to pump it with voltage offcourse....

Its ideal for a budget people who just want to overclock abit with just stock cooler...for overclocker who want to play further, i suggest topup abit and go for e7200 or e8series instead....and if you r thinking of pairing this proc with highend board...just forget it, cuzz u r not going anyware with the walled fsb...

i mange to get to 350,can boot into windows,but not stable.
i have see some manage to get 355 fsb.

oh..didnt noe tat 5200 has a fsb wall..too bad...otherwise, coupled wif ln2, sure got some mad results..haha
