E5200 + ga-ep45t-ud3p

[ICCEE]

Hi I'm new both here and to overclocking in general and I'd like to know if I can use the settings in this thread minus ram the stuff as a template??? I'd like to achieve 3.0ghz if possible and any help would be greatly appreciated.

-Thanks in advance,

What I'd really like to do is be able to hit 3.5 or more. This board and ram is supposed to hit 333FSB easy, and that would make 3.75MHZ!!!

Anyone had experience overclocking e5200 on this DDR board please POST!!!! I'm hapy but, I'm ready to move up to the next step.


ICCEE if you're still having problems post back, and I can POST my exact settings so you can at least get 3.33, but we should be able to get more

[Lsdmeasap]

Hope he posts back, looks like we may have missed his post last week

[ibewok]

ALRIGHTY!!!

Got my e5200 to go 3.75 @300 FSB!!! which is, in my mind, AMAZING! Will see how stable it is in the longrun. I was never able to get to 333 FSB like other posters have but, I'm happy where I am for now.

I used these settings initially, then booted, and cranked up the multiplier in .5 increments until I hit 3.75. I did have to bump my voltage to 1.36, it would post before 1.36 but would blue screen at startup.

Are my temps too high anyone?? or is there anything that posters would consider a dangerous move??

I'm hitting just under 40c at idle on a Sythe Ninja and P182 case (ULTRA QUIET, that's what I like) Check the attachment for pics

Ok I'm back... had some school stuff and a few performances that ate my time and energy... Good News though... I hit 3ghz on the second try last night and it seems to be a stable set up!!!
So I just went and used ibewok's post as a template for my CPU settings since it's the same hardware. On the first go round I under volted the cpu (I think) then I tried it with a slightly higher voltage setting on round two and everything seems to run fine. The only things that I don't like are 1)That my ram is still on auto which I assume could be better calibrated manually and 2)I have almost no clue what to really do with the ram settings. Other than that it's pretty awesome I might even try to go faster later on but for now I'll stick to fine tuning this setup. I'll probably post my exact settings after I try tweaking it some.
Thank you everyone for helping me get this far in clock speed.

P.S. If anyone wants to help me with the RAM part then I'd be ultimately grateful...

Thanks again

The Ram thing is pretty darn easy actually. When you bought the ram it should have given a series of numbers like 9-9-9-24 then it should say a voltage like 1.8. Just plugin those numbers into the template and don't forget to put the voltage at the right setting. I don't know why but the my ram was way under-volted when I used the AUTO setting on this board.


ICEE we should be really proud of ourselves, we are beating many OCer's with a $80 dollar chip. The average I have seen with the e8400 is like 4ghz, which is only a little more than my 3.75ghz. I have heard of people going to 3.33ghz on the stock cooling with the e5200. I'm playing GRID on 1080p full setting tonight and my chip stays under 50 degrees, it is awesome. For a computer junky, it's kinda disappointing, I don't want to do anything more to my computer, guess I'll have to retire for another three years and re-learn how to overclock again.
