that's nice for a E7200!

hi guys, finally im able to achieve 3.4 ghz on stock voltages...but i cant continue 3.5 ghz on stock, will continue using higher voltages, my vdrop is about 0.03 v


Attached thumbnail(s)

nice temperatures u got there.. juz 34°C on idle.. r u in an air cond room or wat?

nice result you got with p31 chipset.....

yeap, in ac room, ambient temperature is about 24 degrees..im using OCZ vanquisher cpu cooler mah, its really cool, max load only about 51 degrees on ac also

its still a good mobo for OC provided you update the bios to get better control

no wonder.. cz even with very good coolers, will hardly reach 34 on idle without air cond.. cz we need a minimum temperature difference in order to have a heat transfer (study too much heat exchanging.. )

with the ambient temperature at malaysia, hardly reach 34 unless u stay at genting or cameron lo.. tat's y i suspect u use ac..

anyway, good OC u hav there..

My idle temperature never reached below 42 C. My room got no aircon. Just using air cooling to cool my body..

lol.. before OC i can idle at 38/37°C.. now after OC (stock cooler) idle min 40/38°C.. but on load will be different..

stil waiting my 3rd party cooler to arrive..

anyway, how u guys remove the stock thermal paste? just use a ruler to scrap it out?

i use a soft tissue paper..
seems work just fine for me..

Are you using 1 [ special Air cooling just cool your CPU ? ] ? Does it work ? Cooling down the temperature.

Nope. Just a normal cheap heatsink. CoolerMaster TX2.

depends on what brand la, cap ayam brand will not get you anywhere, (rather just keep using stock cooler) where as a good one really cools down your cpu overclocked

if you are planning to overclock, aftermarket cooler is the best bet, you dont want your cpu to fry of rite?

Added on July 22, 2009, 12:06 amhaha, yeap, in Malaysia, ambient temp is 39-40 degrees, impossible for the cpu to be 34 degrees in idle mode lo hehe

im still trying to push to 3.5 ghz with stock voltage, but still no avail..now trying to adjust lower multiplier with higher bus speed

will keep you guys updated

OK, good luck bro.. i m still waiting for my cooler.. now stopped at 3.2Ghz with stock cooler n voltage..

mine is an E7400 btw..

Hey guys, I'm a E7400 user

just bought a 2nd hand xigmatek RC with mounting kit, still waiting for tx-2 thermal grease then will start my 1st ever OC project !

Got a nub questions, I just using normal 2x 1GB kingston 800mhz ram on Gigabtye G41m-ES2L mobo.

Issit better to OC it to 333x 10.5 or 400x 9 ? And do I need high performance RAM for OC-ing?

Currenty in cpu-z it shows I'm using 1.2v and running on 266mhzx10.5.

400 x 9 better.

Do I need high performance RAM for OC-ing?
Not necessary.

-pWs-

what comparison is that.. different speed..
better 400 x 10 huhu.. or 400 x 9.5 atleast..

how the higher can reach for E7200 if i oc this proc?

izit a xigmatek RS?? u wrote RC.. i oso having tat cooler but not yet install to my E7400.. no time la.. will use the stock thermal paste n see how much it can go..

400x9 is better..

thanks for the advice ! i'll try 400x9 then =)

yeah its xigmatek RS not RC ...i guess i typed RC because i played restaurant city in facebook some time ago =.= lol

Added on July 30, 2009, 5:01 amI should add which speed is more stable for 24/7 oc haha.

thats why got 2 different speed .

333 would be a 4:5 mem divider, heard that its slower and unstable..
but i nub and not sure la.

highest i got was 425fsb.

clock speed total was like 8.5x425 but i run at 9x400 most of the time.

Added on July 30, 2009, 5:16 amoh btw i +0.25 on vcore straight. run fanless. works fine. running F@H with GTX295 (damn hot) and the fella still idles at 6x400 with around 44c.
