Most likely your voltages are set too low. My voltage is set at 1.49 or 1.5 I can't remember. Try 1.4 and see if it'll post. As long as you have good CPU cooling you won't fry it with high voltages unless you go to extremes (1.6v+).

the e7200 is an awesome processor on a budget.

I know but a mate is offering me his e4300 for $50 buckaroos!

Don't worry about my current setup it's an AMD

Ah **** does this not support G.Skill F2-6400PHU1 Ram?

edit my bad for double posting and I realise that the only difference is the 1 and the 2 are 1 and 2 gig kits lol

Hey sup guys, I was wondering by now does anyone have a stable configuration for this board. I have mine 100% stable at 3ghz with low temperatures. I want to take it a little higher. I was wondering if anyone has gotten it higher and is completely absolutely stable. Please share your configs if you got em. Thanks in advance.

My current info

Bios 0608.
vcore 1.5000 or something like that. or two below that. every thing else on auto. Memory unlinked, FSB 1333 and 667. Memory timing 4-4-4-12 1T. Multiplier 9x. That is a complete stable at 3ghz for me. But i just want to get it higher since my cpu is pretty cold still. idles at 33c. Thanks for your help.

Sorry for sounding like an ass earlier but could anyone offer me some advice about my situation.

I've looked at your earlier post and it sounds like you probably need more vcore.

edit: try 1.3v and with this board you will most likely not be able to surpass 3ghz.

Any ideas??

What is max vcore for a 24/7 clock, can i go higher than 1.46? I hate the vcore settings on this mobo, i set it at 1.3 and +100mv and it shows up as 1.44 and 1.46 with load.

Shouldnt I be able to get past 3ghz with ~1.35 in vcore?

[marsey99]

you wont stay stable with much more than 1.4vcore on stock air unless you live in finland and your pc is in your garden.

depends tbh, not all chips overclock the same, batch number is the best way to get an idea of how yours should perform as others from the same # will be your best indication of how yours might do.
