Need Help On E7200 !!

First thing I would do is read the stickies. Start with this one. http://www.overclock.net/intel-cpus/...ing-guide.html

I'm sure there will be plenty of members here to spoon feed you but IMO you should read first then ask questions later. You'll actually learn a thing or two beforehand and understand what members tell you.

Welcome to the site, well rest assured you have two great components for overclocking!

Here is your new Bible: The Intel Overclocking Guide

it would also help to fill out this form with your system specs

it will show up below the signature part

i have done it a little bit !!

here is the Cpu-z information:

But vista is showing:

Should i go for more overclocking????

update cpu-z maybe?
I would trust cpuz over vista, i saw someone who had their q6600 show up as 21ghz, so maybe you underclocked your cpu
you picked a good chip for ocing though

ehhh. Before you start doing some serious overclocking you might want to change that stock Intel cooler for an aftermarket one. Stock coolers are not capable to handle the increased temperatures that come with overclocking.

wow thats strange. heres what u should do, go to ur bios make sure the .5x multiplier is locked on (i think its enabling n2 and make sure its set to 9.5) and then set your fsb/memory ratio to 1:1 so it won't clock your memory passed stock speeds and set your FSB to 350 and see if that posts correctly

Make sure you have speed stepping disabled in the BIOS, also the OS won't take a lowered multiplier into consideration if you use it to check for the clock speed. CPUz should be more accurate. The default multiplier on the E7200 is 9.5, which you may want to manually set in the bios. Also set the voltage to 1.28-1.38v, instead of using auto.

yeah, he def has intel speed step on. you need to turn it off.

Speed step will drop the E7200 multiplier to 6x down from 9.5x to save power.

turn off speedstep(EIST),TM2 and other such power saving features!!

ok...thanks....i am trying..

i dont have any experience w/ ASUS BIOS/boards though, usually it'll be under power saving features or something like that!

ASUS bios SU*** :x ..in the manual ..there is shown a option under advance menu "intel speedstep tech"...but when i am in the bios i have found no option like that under advance menu !! and i am using the latest version of bios !!

Load Line Calibration = Enabled
CPU Spread Spectrum= Disabled
PCI-E Spread Spectrum = Disabled

Put your Ram ratio to 1:1

here are modded BIOS for p5q boards if you wish to run one.
