OC e7200 + Biostar GF7050V-M7 SE

Hi everybody, i've buy the GF7050V-M7 SE not the GF7050V-M7.
I dont know the differences between then, here on Argentine only sold the GF7050V-M7 SE at u$s 55.

I also buy an e7200, and the board is really amazing, here some stability test, i've been doing today:

Hardware used:
KTC 19´ 4:3
Powercooler 550w modular
Biostar GF7050V-M7 SE bios 080015,not test other 2 bios that was on biostar page
e7200 step Q813A523 (Stock a 266 x 9.5 = 2527 Mhz) VID 1.1250
Cooling AS Ceramique + Thermaltake Big Typhoon VX
Cooler of 6x6 over the northbridge
2 x 1gb en Single Channel OCZ Platinum rev2 800 Mhz
VGA Sapphire HD4850 @ stock
Sound Blaster Audigy SE
Windows UE 7


The board:
Only lets go up the vCore, north and vtt in values of porcentage with a max of 6%.
vDimm lets go up after 2.25v
How you can see, limited options for OC

The max vcore on load that gives is 1.232v :(

Yeap, the fan its exausting, i put again puting air the down, in the picture its exausting.


Here 6 hours dual Orthos stability at 3.6ghz (379 fsb)

Here 1 hour dual Orthos at 3.8ghz (400 fsb)

Tomorrow more and longer test for 3.8ghz. And hope 3.9ghz :D

Bye :D

Looks like you might get to 4ghz =)

Hi, i don't know if will do the 4ghz, the board looks like to found their top.

The board boots ats 3.9 or 4 but dont load windows.

I've to try with clockgen and the're another 2 bios for the board on the biostar page, i've to test that bios.

Bye

Here stabily Orthos test for 10 hours @ 3.8ghz

Tomorrow i'll see if i can rise some mhz with clockgen

look for your PLL chip and see if SetFSB has it so you can overclock in windows.

start doing a hardware vcore mod to increase your vcore

and why on god's green earth are you running 3 Orthos?!?

all you need is one. One of them is enough to stress the cpu. 1 instance will make the cpu run 100% so running 3 doesnt do anything but possibly make the other tests bad.

I'll search for the PLL later.

Respect to hardware vcore mod, i've been looking, and find nothing for my board :(

Did are any vcore mod for the cpu ?
I'see a BSEL mod from 1066 to 1333, but dont see any vcore mod for the e7200

Respect to orthos, i like to do the 3 test, so to spend less time i pass the 3 instances at the same time :p::p:

Bye and thanks :D

Is it me or does your fan look like it is inverted? :confused: Flip it and you might get better temperatures. :up:

Try OCCT for a stability tester.

Yeap, on the pics its inverted, i've been cleaning the HSF, but i put on the right way when i do the tests :D

Respect to OCCT, I try, but i like Orthos :). Thanks anyway :D:D


I search for PLL on clockgen and SETfsb and found nothing with my PLL :(
Tomorrow i'll search again

Bye :D:D

Some actualizations, i do a vDroop mod, before then i'm stuck at 3.8ghz, now i've reached 3872mhz, also Orthos stables. A 2% more of OC over the 3.8ghz. Now i'm at 53.22% with a 55u$s dollars boad :D


Before the vDroop mod, i've this:
Idle 1.248v
Full Load 1.216v

0.032v between idle and full


After the vDroop mod
Idle 1.264v
Load 1.248v to 1.264v

Or 0.016v of vDroop, or 0,79% of riple


In conclusion, between the max and min values of vCore on load, i win between 0.032v y 0.048v more on full load.



Here an OCCT graphic showing the Riple

Well, here 9h and 30min Orthos Stability:

Still left to try other two bios, search if they're any vcore mod, for the board. Because one friend do 426 of fsb with an e1200, so i still have more fsb to go up, my goal it's 421 of fsb, 4.0ghz Stable, actually i'm at 407.5 of FSB, 3872mhz.
I think that with only 0.1v more, y can do 4ghz stables. Im really closer to 3.9ghz
