new e5200 user with Biostar Tpowwah i45 report in...

err...this e5200 is not so good ler...just so so overclocker...with default voltage, i can reach 2.9 stable...(same with my prev e2180)....at tat speed, the temp oledy can reach 60*c full load....(once again exactly the same as my prev e2180)...

this proc feel like my prev 2180. with additional 1MB cache....the low voltage seem didnt do anything to the temp....iam using my old fat stock cooler tat i get from my prev e2180 btw.....i wonder how the temp gonna scream if i just use the very thing stock cooler they provide...

i think the main problem here is not the lower voltage....its the temp it self....

next step Ocing report coming soon...

Added on October 9, 2008, 8:37 amya ya i got it...my mistake sorry guys iam noob....

this is e5200, not e2 series....so we suppose to Oc it the right way...not the old e2 series way...

u have to use the 12.5 Multiplier advantage......low fsb is the key

now im on 272x12.5= 3.41Ghz 1.3vcore....i try orthos max temp just 64*c only.... with my fat stock cooler...acceptable...hihi now i got my self a 3.4 Ghz proc...high fsb just didnt work with this proc

such High fsb monster Biostar I45 wasted...

p2d its the lower range of c2d...

ahh jahat....it seem like im always got a lousy chip....

congrat sprinz 3.4 just 1.2v...impressive

izzit fully stable...?

how long can it handle orthos or prime..

i try mine only can boot at 1.2v but not stable at all..

Added on October 12, 2008, 10:59 pmSprinz bro....do u achieve tat speed by playing with other voltage like Vtt or just vcore 1.2 alone...

nope the cache really make a different in processing power...

or sometime its oso depent on application....but the more cache u got the better...

GTG

not all e5200 can do 3.4 at stock voltage....u must be very2 lucky to get one....most of them can do above 3Ghz with just abit bump on voltage..

GTG

i play mine till 1.375v 3.6Ghz...stock cooler lagi...max temp barely touch 72*c

your 1.33v should do at least 3.4 stable....

if you'r 1st timer oc....just adjust the fsb without having to adjust the voltage....its call save overclocking....i recon this e5200 should do at least 2.9-3.0 with stock volage....

goodluck

GTG

GeminII ahh......bang 1.35v 3.6 u should be fine...

do it on your own risk..lol

depent on your luck....the earlyer batch have a good chance to reach it...

but honestly i would say...this proc is better in term of overclockablity than the e6 series....mine can boot at 3.7 at certain voltage...

e5200 is a good processor....it just got 1 drawback....the fsb is limited to 320-350.....mine can only go 330....but they provide it with a high Multiplier so u still can go up to 4Ghz if u have the guts...

GTG

nope u never gonna kick e8 with e5.....e8 can achieve 4ghz with just 1.2 something voltage....6mb cache somemore....

GTG

need to bump your voltage abit....stock voltage alone is not enuff to supply 3.30Ghz....geminII should be not problem if your bump up the volt abit...

GTG

920Mhz 44412 is quite fast bro...

GTG

huge upgrade from your P4.....u really gonna feel the different...for budget user who want to taste high clock, e5 is the chip for you...

i bet its gonna need much more vcore to stable orthos.....yup that is 1 thing this e5200 good at....its still gonna boot even though its not stable at all....lol..

GTG

ur lucky then...

ya this was indeed a good budget overclocker chip.....OC to 3.2-3.6Ghz should be enuff ATM for your gaming needs...this is a better choice compare to e2 series.....bang for buck.....the only drawback is....after u play with it for awhile, u will start to feel boring and want more out of it.....sadly, i just cannot give u anymore and u'll start to think, why dun i go straight for the OEM e0e8 series....its hard to explain but the word is anticlimax

1 more good point tat e5200 have is....its only got 2mb cache compare to e8 with 6cache...tats make it run cooler than e8....
