Anyone have ideas on overclocking a E8200 without touching the bios. Chips native bus speed is already 1333....

D. Robinson

I have followed the guide to BSEL modify my Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600.

Unfortunately, it was partially successful and unsuccessful. When checking the BIOS, it shows the core speed at 2.0 GHz. After loading into Windows, I check CPU-Z, and the core speed jumps between 2.0 GHz and 3.0 GHz.

Now I believe the problem is more than likely the method I used, electrical tape. To be sure though, if I obtain a conductive ink pen or copper tape, the core speed should stay at 3.0 GHz, right? Although, why would the core speed downgrade to 2.0 GHz rather than the stock setting of 2.4 GHz? The FSB does to appear to have changed to 1333 MHz.

Edit: Oddly enough, while playing ArmA II, I experienced a range of 10-30 FPS increase. Now I am really wondering what copper tape would do...

maybe because you didn't turn of intels power saving options that changes the multiplier eg mine changes from 2ghz to 1ghz or less when not under load

the fsb does not change that high eg besl mod 800=200fsb 1066=266

my cpu is 200fsb with an 11 times multiplier

D. Robinson

Oh, about the FSB, sorry about that. It is set to 333.

When the processor decides to go to 3.0 GHz, here and there, the multiplier changes to 9 times.

Intel Speedstep was disabled in my BIOS, so I still have the same problem as in my last post. Could it be due to the fact that Windows 7 possibly has SpeedStep integrated into it? I have looked at all the power options and didn't seem to find anything.

Edit: I believe Speedstep is somehow enabled because while playing games, I can quickly Alt+Tab out and check the core speed which is 3.0GHz. Plus, I have a good performance increase while playing.

does it matter if its on or off as long as its a stable overclock but there are also more power saving options than that

Any ideas. Is there anything that can be done to speed up the cpus that are already running at 333? any mod that can be done to change the multiplier or anything

thank you

Sadly not

guys i have a small doubt
Im currently having Intel DG33FB mobo and Intel E4600 processor and planing to do this mod to increase the fsb to 1066
do i have to increase the volt also or is it just enuf to mod to increase the fsb also i want to kno whether will it work on my mobo or not cz im living in Sri Lanka and its hard to find those pens and tapes so i hv to take my processor to a shop to modify, also i hv to mode the points which are mentioned in the pic right, no diffenrece for E4600 right??

Don't take it to a shop lol.

I didn't have tape or pen eighter.. I used tin foil and paper glue. Takes a bit time to apply, but it gets the job done.

Also try it first without vmod. If it doesn't work, then apply the volt.
