what do u think of my OC on C2D?

[electronique]

**pc specs = my signature / profile**

I wanted to overclock my E7200 (2.53Ghz) to obtain a decent speed, but not crossing the boundaries, so that I can use it 24/7 easily and not have to pay twice the bill on energy.
Please tell me if I missed something or if I can do more!


1.The Steps:

a) moved the jumper on my mobo from 1066 fsb to 1333 fsb, as advised in the manual for a better OC. There is also a move to 1600 fsb for more speed. I don`t know if I crossed the line and if I should set the jumper to 1600. ( ?? )

b) mods:

CPU Frequency - 337 ****standard was 266
PCIE - 100
RATIO CMOS (multiplier) - 9.5
Enhance Halt State - Disabled
CPU Thermal Throttling - Enabled
No-Execute Memory Protection - Disabled
Speed-Step - Disabled
C-State - Disabled

CPU Voltage - 1.200v ****standard was 1.125v
RAM Voltage - 1.96v @ 4-4-4-12 / 809mhz ****standard was 1.90v @ 4-4-4-12 / 800mhz [should i make any ram modifications like timings, voltage, frequency?]


RealTemp after 1h: 50*C IDLE @ 27*C Room Temp
CoreTemp: VID on both cores: 1.1375 / M0 Revision

If you are using DDR2 800 or 667 stick with the 1066 jumper and don't change memory voltage unless needed. Out of that no one of us can really comment about it because each chip and each board have different OC capabilities. Try setting and try again till it's stable and give you what you want.

We need to know your load temps. Idle temps mean nothing in this world. You don't want your CPU to go kaput when you're folding or playing games. Run Prime95 Small FFT or a SMP version of Folding@Home for a good half hour to ensure short-term stability with higher temps. You might be able to run stock voltages on that OC as well.

whats linpak, OCCT and Intel burn test, super pi show for a few

ok, thanks for ur replies. After 2h of playing Anno 1404 with max details, the cpu was @ 60*C (full load)
I`ll go later with Orthos/Prime/SuperPi and i`ll post some results.

Sorry for the stupid delay, i forgot :D

So, after 2h of Prim95 the max temp was 71*C, and the average I think was 69*C. (blend test - ram & cpu)
I`ll decrease the cpu voltage to see if my temp goes down a bit. (the fsp jumper is still @ 1333. It will overkill my ram if i`ll go down to 1066 and keep the current 3200Mhz freq)

Not bad, but you could definitely push it further.

Here is my C2D overclock which is stable.



Still trying to get 4.0ghz stable, but I'm happy with it now. Temps idle around 22c and max out just shy of 60c.

Good luck!
