Okay so I think I've reached the limits of my e5200 on this asrock board....
Stock e5200 (dual core processor) speed is 2.5 ghz.
I am currently at 266.01x12.50
so I'm at a 33% overclock @ 3325.10 MHZ.
My temps max at 65-67C. This is with the stock cooler fan.
Average temps are in the low to upper 50's.
This processor can go much more, too, I can tell. The G31MS won't let me up the voltage so that's what's holding it back.
My specs are
e5200 2.5ghz @ 3.325ghz
2 gigs ddr2 @ 333mhz
XFX ATI Radeon 4850 maxed out memory and gpu.
(you guys are going to love this one) 350 watt power supply out of a HP.
and I run skyrim and portal 2 and all sorts of things at 1080P with all gfx settings maxed out.
This is the best budget build I have ever had. That 350 watt power supply is holding in there too!!
Just know one day it's going to catch on fire or something haha.
Thought I'd share. Not on here too often but just in case anybody running a similar set up was wondering what it's capable of.
