Intel E5200 Overclocking @ 4.0Ghz

FAQ:
IT IS NOT STABLE I HAVE ANOTHER VIDEO WITH THE STABLE CLOCKS 3HRS Small FFT'S

MY OCN account is ocfx. I don't use it that much anymore.

The CPU cooler is OCZ Vendetta I

Thanks for the views!

Here's a little introduction to this video:

Ok, I got tired of my P5N-E SLI's FSB holes and it wasn't allowing me to get the most out my E5200 in terms of a 24/7 Overclock. So i changed my mobo to an ASUS P5KC. Has worked real good except for a slight VDroop problem, which i fixed with a simple pencil mod. I didn't go for the P5Q Series since they have been having some problems with the 8600 Series gpu's and i really want to keep my XFX 8600 GTS.

**NOTICE THIS IS A SUICIDE RUN AT 4.0GHZ I DO NOT CONSIDER IT STABLE**
**PLEASE DO NOT POST COMMENTS LIKE YOU SUCK I GOT MINE TO 5Ghz, BECAUSE THESE CHIPS ARE BINNED DIFFERENT AND SOME WILL CLOCK BETTER THAN OTHERS DEPENDING ON HOW WELL THEY WERE SLICED OF THE SILICON CHIP. THIS IS THE BEST I COULD DO WITH THIS PARTICULAR CHIP**

So, if my computers case is open and I have my stock fan on, my E5200 OC'd at 3,62GhZ can it overheat? Any ideas? Please respond! Thank you!

[overclockerfx]

@huumehemuli99 If your stock fan is installed properly and you haven't changed your VCore you shouldn't have any problems, but sounds like a pretty big overclock without additional VCore so if I was you I would monitor temperatures with e.g. RealTemp, I would try staying under 70C. However, if it really 'overheats' it will shutdown automatically, built in CPU function.

I had one of my e5200 @ 4.08 ghz Gaming Stable , Played gta4 or Crysis for hours ,Never Crashed , Ran 3d mark 06 or Vantage ,Never Crashed (Wouldn't Pass Prime) ...But it was Stable enough for Me and that was with a 20$ After market fan...

[overclockerfx]

@mrjamesb56 Yea this chip can be really great, but it seems mine is slightly degrading now I've had it at 1.36V for over a year now and well I've had to lower my 24/7 clocks to 3.52Ghz

@overclockerfx hey!

i have the same E5200 as you but i havent got that link in the bios (intelligent Tweaker can you help me)???

[overclockerfx]

@Sha12333 I'm guessing you have a different motherboard. You need to find out if your motherboard has an overclocking option and then try to overclock your E5200 from there.

My E5200 Oc @ 3.33GHz with HD5770

[speeddemon1092]

What voltage did you have your e5200 set at for 4ghz?

I ask because my first e5300 needed a toasty 1.46v for stable 4ghz yet my second one (the one im using now) can get it on 1.385 on a good board.

@Annihitate no problem :D

[Annihitate]

@FireVortex720 okay. thank you ;)

*downloads prime95*

[FireVortex720]

@Annihitate thats fine, you can defintinly push it further. what cooler r u using? just make sure after u clocked it, run prime95 for at least 24 hours.

[Annihitate]

@FireVortex720 um. it's 45 degrees at 100% loaded CPU.

[FireVortex720]

@Annihitate it depends. what temps are you getting on idle and on 100% load? have u ran prime95?

[Annihitate]

@FireVortex720 yeh i did now it's 3.4 ;)and you know what.. i'm thinking to push it a bit more. should i? cause like it's overclocked from 2.5 to 3.4 already and nothing bad seems to happen.

[FireVortex720]

@Annihitate im have a e5400 (2.7 at stock), i OC'ed it to 3.4 on a stock cooler. im sure u can push it a bit further.
