You can set 1.4v in bios, that would still be something like 1.35v in Windows/Cpu-Z. Use the 11x multi, some E5200's can't run a higher FSB then 340.
Overclocking e5200 CPU with EP45-DS3L Mobo - help required
First off, I would like to say that I did make some reasearch but I have found nothing else than stats/cpu-z screenshots wich are not really helping even tho they are nice..
![]()
The problem :
I bought my current computer last christmas. I spent many bucks on an air cooling system wich includes 5x 120mm fans and 1x Xygmatek 3 heatsink.
I am also using the Ep45-DS3L motherboard, 750W corsair PSU and, of course, the e5200 cpu. The thing is... I cant push that sucker to more than 3.25Ghz wich is deceiving...I would like my CPU to overclock AT LEAST @ 3.5Ghz.
My BIOS options
BIOS version is F9
First, all my BIOS setting are "Optimisez default" besides thoses options
Limit CPUID MAx [Disabled]
NO-Execute [Enabled]
CPU HALT [Disabled]
C2/C2E State [Disabled]
xC4/C4E State [Disabled]
CPU Thermal [Enabled]
CPU EIST [Disabled]
I read many, many posts here and everytime, it said that w/o thoses options it was impossible to overclock.
Other than that, in the M.I.T. tweak, I have the following options
This is the best overclock I ever reached. Even going 3.26 dosnt work.
CPU Clock Ration [12]
Fine CPU Clocl Ration [+0.5]
CPU Frequency 3.25 (260x12.5)
Voltages
VCORE 1.18750V [Auto]
Termination 1.200V [Auto]
PLL 1.550V [Auto]
Reference 0.805V [Auto]
I figured that keeping the voltages @ auto would be the best thing to do. I tried fooling around with values around the default settings and it never worked.
Temperature
21-26 degrees. 26 is the max I ever saw.
What I tried
I tried around 50 different frequencies. 350x10, 300x10, 280x11, etc, etc
Nothing worked else than anything bellow 260x12,5 (3.25ghz)
I also tried to change the Vcore voltage, I did not change any other voltages.
I tried went from 1.10V to 1.36V max.
What happens
When I try different frequencies/voltages settings, I hit "save and exit" then the computer shuts down for 2-3 flat seconds. I can then hear the fans of both my cpu heatsink and videocard start running, then I can heard everything else powering. My screen finds the video card signal but does not show anything. The screen keeps black for a few seconds then I hear a "click" and the computer restarts. The same whole thing starts over again. After the 2nd "click" the Cpu boots with normal setting, I can then go into the bios, theres a red screen saying that the values I selected were not stable and stuff. I can then change the values again back to 3.25 or stay at stock.
Im new to overclocking, well... I can OC a little bit but I never managed a big OC yet. I still bought pretty strong parts I believe.. Wich makes me wonder, maybe the problem is physical? Could it be that the cpu paste was applied the wrong way? Is the computer detecting the wrong temps? I really dont know..
What I would like
If anyone can show me what they did to overclock (what voltages, timings, well everything) with the same mobo/cpu than me to something equal or higher than 3.5ghz. Step by step.. or not... well any help would be really nice!
Maybe im just missing a little detail something. If anyone has any idea, or knows how to oc that sucker like I want to... would be much appreciated!
... Well... I'm going to sleep. Thanks for the help!

@ 1.4V Vcore, I tried
11x250, 2750mhz Pass, stable
11x260, 2860mhz Pass stable
11x270 2970mhz Pass stable
11x280 3080mhz Fail
It seems that it will never go pass 270 for some reason. Thats a big 80 FSB bellow any other e5200. I do not get it.. Is it the mobo? is there a protection somewhere I did not disable? Is is because its something physical ie, heatsink problem?
I then tried to go higher with the multipliers.. I went all the way to 12.5x270 for a full 3375mhz running stable. Still, its not 3.5! I dont care if it burns, I want it to run @ 3.5 at least!

What should I do ?

My BIOS is set to the stock version wich is f8.

According to this chart, there is 2 new versions of the bios, maybe I should try upgrading?
Also, do you have your ORTHO's report, i'd really like to read it to compare with mine.

I flashed the bios all the way up to f10.... and it did not change nothing. xD
Tomorrow, i'll try removing the heatsink, checking if any pins on the cpu are bent (who knows) and put new paste there.
I also sent a message to ncix custommer's services and they told me there was no possible rmas if you cpu dosnt suport overclocking... That sucks

Im running out of ideas..

If nothing help from the help youre getting here, try to RMA your CPU and try again

After a lot of swearing today I manged to oc to !!! 3.5g!!! wow.
No really, nothing worked ;( im really pissed right now

Interlconvert, can you set your mobo's options to "defaut", then set the eist and stuff to diabled, leave everything on auto and try to oc you prosessor with a 280FSB or more?
If it dosnt work for you then I know my CPU isnt total bird poo.
