Overclocking Intel Dual Core E5200

[marko94]

Hi, guys ...

This is my first post ... :)

Now ... I have Intel E5200 processor and my motherboard is Gigabyte EP43-DS3 ...

I want to overclock it to 3.00 Ghz (It's currently 2.50 Ghz) , so could someone please give me BIOS settings for overclocking this processor to 3.00 Ghz , because I tried many combinations and system failed to boot ... so any help would be appriciated :)

And also If u need my system specs :

Gigabyte EP43-DS3
Intel Dual Core E5200 @ 2.50 Ghz
2x2GB RAM Kingmax 800Mhz
Gigabyte Radeon HD 4870 1GB
Blue Storm II 500W

I also just posted settings for a user here with E5300 for 3.33Ghz, so that may help you as well >>
Overclocking a E5300 and EP43-DS3 ? basic help needed

If you need more help post back anytime

[marko94]

Thanks guys, im gonna try this right away :)

[marko94]

IM still failing to boot windows even after settings u gave me :(

[marko94]

Is it normal when I fail my monitor dont want to turn on only when I revert my settings to normal

[Lsdmeasap]

Yes, that could be normal with your monitor when settings are off

Please post in full the settings you are trying that fail and we will advise back

[marko94]

I tried settings that "Defined" posted an I still fail , but I don't know why I fail every time I do that exactly as it is written and I stil fail ... :(

Any help on them ?

[Lsdmeasap]

I would still ask you post your exact settings, just to be sure nothing differs. Please don't copy his, in case there is something you are missing. That's why we ask you to always post your own.

Are you maybe choosing 3.33D for the memory multiplier? You need to use 3.33A Please ignore, there is no 3.33A

Also I would set 1.24 MCH for now, and manually set Static tRead value to 8 for now as well. Set your own Vtt too
