E5200 - Overclocking Thread

[overclockerfx]

What kind of temps are you guys getting ....? I feel i still have really high temps after a reseat since ORTHOS can push me to almost 80C notice this is Core temp... And one other thing thats bothering me is the difference between my core temps and cpu temp is around 16-17C... any thoughts on this would be welcomed... Seems like my cooler is doing its job but my core temps are going up like hell....

Wow 80c is really hot, I would back down on your voltage/FSB until you can get a better cooler or figure out why your temps are so high.

YES i know it is very high...

I had no problems with my E2160 on this cooler... but now this... i dont know im gonna check the seating again i guess... It was running pretty hot when i got it at stock... but i didnt pay too much attention to that, of course 1.356V is quite much to be running ill see if i can lower it without loosing stability, because this is stable as a rock running 3.5Ghz with those volts...

That's not stable at all. Firstly you are stressing it the easy way. Gromacs core doesn't stress the cpu enough. Always do Small FFTs. Another thing, you're not stable with only 6 minutes in, you have to do at least 8 hours. I've had an OC fail after 7hours and 45mins. Small FFTs for about 10 hours will ensure 100% stability for your cpu.

BY stable i obviously meant that i have not had a single crash in the week i have been running this.... i have been playing cod4 etc. But i know now what the prob is; its just too simple... one of the push pins was loose now after a reboot my temps havent gone over 74C on orthos Small FFT's and i have Q-fan control enabled so my cpu-hs fan is not running max. Its still running while im writing this gonna run for at least 6 hours.... I dont really know how i overlooked that when i was doing the reseat

This E5200 runs 8-9 C hotter than my E8400. Both chips are under an AC Freezer pro 7, E5200 is in a Antec 300 with 1 extra 120 MM fan in front, E8400 is in a antec 900.

E5200 39-42 C Idle ( paste is not cured) Hits 52 C Alt-Tabbing out of AM3

E8400 31-32 C idle

guys i got all my parts in today except the HSF so i cant do much, anyways the cpu i got says costa rica on it,



S-spec: slay7
MM number: 899647
batch number: 3825A420

version number: E47681-001
pack date: 08/27/08



anyone know if i got a good oc chip or not? cheers

anyways i went out and bought the ocz vendetta 2 at the local canadacomputers shop for 48bux





so now im ready to install/oc! wish me luck

Yea we all got slay7 so i dont think it should be a prob... but just double check your stepping anyways everyone on here so far has 6 stepping. Nice stuff i wish i had the P5Q :P

Edit: by double check i mean run cpu-z once ya get it working

okay, but that's still not stable. if you want to certify your cpu stable, you must pass at least 8 hours in stress test Orthos small FFTs / prime95 / linpack.

is the heat sink fan suppose to blow on the RAM side or on the usb ports side? im getting confused , i was watching this vid

did he install it the wrong way??? or it dpends on ur tower/case setup?
