Have you tried pushing your E2160 further?

Fsb max at 295 on my MSI945GC , Bsel'ed , cannot go more than that , my fren's can go untill 3.0 on his ECS 945GC, but that is e2180 bsel'ed. i think my e2160 is a bad one ,coz even i put it on P35, it also cant go more than 2.7Ghz

haha...dun burn it.sell it and top up for a better e5xxx series..since this batch of proc is a good proc to play oc oc until burn.i recommend to my fren just to play oc with their proc.lol

How much Vcore did you pump?

945GC BIOS dun have the voltage option There is a Vmod guide , but i din do that . Using stock vcore 1.312. About the case in P35, i try to test with two e2160 at the same time , another one can go untill 3.2 with stock vcore , mine pump untill 1.35 still cant go more than 2.7, maybe i noob

Btw ,anybody wan to sell their E5200 ? i wan to buy

Hehe... i'm not done with my E5200 yet at d momment...

Still torch-ring (torture) her in order to find out how far she can go

Been busy wif work la, GF la, & so on... so, not much time to spent on my torturing frenzy

Its gonna take awhile i supposed...

nice vcore you got there..mine need 1.35V to boot on 3.5Ghz stable..

I find myself in possession of a E5200 and G31M-ES2L. Now, how do I...

*drumrolls*

...underclock this thing? Then again, if stock and underclocked E5200 eat the same amount of power, I'll stick with stock speed.

easiest way....just enable EIST...

As mADmAN says, EIST is more than good enough.. If you want to reduce the power consumption furthermore, then you can try "undervolting"...

can abit LG-95c (intel 945GC) support e5200?
currently using P4 and I really wanna upgrade.

Well, according to Abit webby, your mobo doesn't support E5200 CPU, how unfortunate

Upgrade ur mobo & u r good to go

Added on February 23, 2009, 11:59 pmThanks to my good hardware selections & not to forget my OC skills i think

Still pushing for some more...

I want more...! More...! More...!
KebaBOOM! (until my PC blow up into pieces )

My E5200 running IBT stress test......
Very high temp........



Attached thumbnail(s)

Yeah i did some test wif IBT b4

My e5200 also heat-up nearly 70c as well

with my 1.27500v it fails the test, but pass using orthos/prime95

really heavy duty stresser la that IBT

I'm currently running at 1.3500 Vcore.... on load it shows 1.280 Volt

I have gone to 3.2 Ghz on stock fan. I feel... liberated. No stress test yet though.

Just get myself an E5200 , i notice the cooler fan is not same with my fren's E5200 cooler fan , mine is made by Nidec , my fren's is made by foxcoon , the foxcoon's very unique with sharp blade. Duno which one offer better airflow ?
p/s: The shape of the aluminium heatsink oso not same


Foxcoon


Nidec

It's typical of intel to outsource some of their productions(HSF) to several other companies for cost/time saving in order for mass production...

Many other electronics giants also do the same...

Bout d performance? No idea, guess u have to borrow ur friend's HSF & put it into a spin then see how those two fares...

today i simply oc a E5200 (M0)

manage to get:

300 x 12.5 = 3.75Ghz
1.30vcore
Abit IP35-E Bios18
Cellshock ddr2 1000 @ 1000 5-5-5-15 2T 3:5
Vdimm 2.2v (within factory recommend 2.1v~2.3v)
MCH 1.53v
ICH 1.50v

before that i tried to find the fsb wall with multiplier 6x, but with everything stock voltage, reach from 350 till 410 still no problem on booting and SuperPi stable. still not yet go further.....too lazy......

so far not yet touch the SPD...lazy also....haha

but i might wan to lower the Vcore to see how much vcore need to pump for multiplier 12.5 and reach 4Ghz

how is my proc? can say moderate?

michealelsie : nice chip you got there..my chip fsb wall around 360..and need 1.3625 vcore to boot on stable for 3.6 Ghz..but you only need 1.3 vcore for 3.75Ghz..
