E5200 wolfdale R0 test
 

Hi folks,
Since i decided to start again with overclocking i thought it was time to test some stuff in my daily internet/gaming rig. Just to get the feeling again before i actualy go out and buy stuff.
Iv'e been out for almost 2 years now so don't expect anything at all :)
cause what amazes me can bore you :D

Specs :
Intel E5200 A334 2.5Ghz 12.5X200 2Mb L2 cache
Gigabyte EG31MF-S2
2X2GB Kingston value at 5-5-5-22
Sparkle Geforce 9800Gt 1GB 600/1500/900
Antec 550W earthwatts

Initial test : Speed passing at 4ghz
start frequency at boot Air cooled
4.0Ghz 12.5*320 1.55V set bios 1.5V real mems at 480Mhz 5-5-7-22 2.0V
Vga at 655/1615/975

Superpi 1M : 14.031sec
Aquamark 03 : 180235
3dMark03 : 39892
3dmark2001 : 54512


to be updated, looking for tests to be run, downloading software .
If anybody can help me with a working clockgen, that would be awesome!

I think one of these two is the clockgen you're looking for.

Yes it should be one of those 2, and how does it work now? I simply find a file to add to clockgen? Confused? Thx for the input!

*edit*
nevermind massie!
It seems 2 years is already a longtime, didn't even knew i was using SetFsb in those days instead of clockgen.
RTM875-857 is my pll

Going to see how far this cpu will go on this budget board in SP1M to start with.
Again thx for your input!

On the Setfsb website:



:woot:

How's that FSB increase going? If I'm not mistaken, R0 is the latest revision of the Wolfdale silicon, so in theory it should be better in terms of FSB wall.

I don't think this board is classified to test fsb properly.

Right now i pushed him to 4200mhz 336*12.5 with rams at 2/3 504Mhz
At 4225 i get not exact in round message at superpi, now i don't no anymore wheter this is cpu or mem related.
Tomorow i will drop the multi and test for fsb :-)
For now i have to say this cpu pleases me. Wonder how it will do underneath LN2 ^^

It will do the average of this:

http://hwbot.org/hardware/processor/core_2_e5200_2.5ghz
http://hwbot.org/hardware/chipset/g31

Seems like 500+ FSB on G31 is not impossible

Hmm amazes me but to be honest, i'm a bit afraid to kill my daily rig so xtreme testing will be left for another board.

But the chip has potential no?

You got a good S775 laying around taking dust?:naughty::D

No, I had to lend gear as well ... ^^

lol crisis voor iets he! :woot:

No, I just sold it because it's too slow for me |D.

Turns out the E8600 I sold is pretty decent ... :-/

haha true true S775 is becoming like S939, old but still fun though :)
there are some pretty cheap QX6XXX quads hovering around the net , pretty fun to abuse for some hwbot points :naughty:

declare decent?(E8600)

http://hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=906006

1.712V, -90°C only

hmm sweet result and chip, do want.....now!!

I think I can even lower the volts to 1.69 for sure :p

Will prime test it later on :)

You got it on +610FSB stable now Massie ?

Been testing other hardware in the past week. If we have a lot of time next sunday, we can push for a tad hardware at Gamer's, I guess?

I have to study, otherwise it iwll take me ages to do so, so I'll just pass by, if you wsh you can pick up the P55 UD6 , the REX 2 and Blades before going to Luc's then for further tests...

Ok thank you!:D




kan ma proberen he :naughty:

hell hasn't freezen over :)

|D


hey man are you at hwbot? I mean are you mod?
http://hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=607600
Could you remove that? It's very frustating to see a cartoon instead of the verification, knowing he getting the full 12points and golden cup for that :)

ok nice :)

Ok i have a new board to play with this chip

Gigabyte P35-ds3 and better ddr2 as well corsair PC8500, and a crazy aircooling as well :D
Will take som pics of the setup later :naughty:

I hope you get better FSB now man... if you got a scorcher it will Hwbot points !!

This MOBO = ROFL
Setting +0.7V ddr2 wil give you 2.1V :woot: mothaf*** my rams need that stock :rolleyes:
It acts weird i have to say, not what i was expecting, i mis my old Foxconn Mars :love:

Oh well i guess 4250mhz on air ain't that bad :-p
Btw somehow my cpu won't accept more then 1.52V :/

hmm seems my board ain't that shabby afterall, it has bios and boot issue. After reading some forum threads this board is all about trial and error.
Anyone knows a good program to flash in windows? Winflash doesn't work.

No Q-flash utility in the bios?

yes but it needs something bootable, and i have nothing laying around :-p

USB stick ftw, latest Asus EZ flashes could also read form the HD (NTFS partitions)

I gave up the E5200+GA-P35, with my microatx mobo everything goes like it should, its rock stable, voltages etc are accurate 1.55V = 1.56V, but with the p35 1.6V = 1.52V rofl. With the G31 i could easy pas 4.150Ghz 3D, with the p35 3.9ghz is even hell..for sure bios prob..
Playing with killer E6600 on board now :D

This is MADshrimps, not 'I-give-up-real-quickly'shrimps :p

Ok i rephrase : I give up for now, untill i have other gear to use as daily rig.
Untill then i have to stay away from that pc :-p
Can someone lend me a container? :D

voltmod anyone ?

Pj is already feeling better it seems :p

Yes i will mod the board for sure :)
LOL pj should i come and bitchslap you with my huge swaffel?:naughty:
I meant a cpu container :D

already found a nice vdroop mod :)

Actually, same cough still. Torsten, the doctor, thinks it's flu mexicana.

I still have your container. I actually reviewed it :woot:

Btw ... nice vDroop mod? Is there a not-nice vDroop mod as well then?

Pardons limit ya speech as much as possible, as there are 2 nitpickers on this forum... you already spotted one for sure, the 2nd one will stop by soon...

And at Massman l: did you kiss that redhead too this weekend ? I had her on friday( sponsored by Tones Manu and Torsten) , maybe she hooked up with you on saturday... damn she was hot... but I got sick after that date

No.

That redhead you're referring to was a dude ... :no:

I went for the backdoor (if you get my drift) , a hole is a hole... he or she happily obliged... so I didn't complain...

Now that you mention it, the kissing was a bit rough

Hey man, I don't judge. I state facts.

Board doesn't like vdroop :D
either it died, or cpu died :D
i love the old days of dying hardware :D

;-D
