Official Core 2 Duo E7200 thread

Did you all do the BSEL mod, ps what kinda performance have you guys scene over your say e4300s and such?

No BSEL mod in mine and no mods on the board.

I had a E6400 before and I feel like it's a good upgrade, 3dmarks fly with E7200 and the 3870X2 loves the high clock.

My chip is handling good the Vcore, not to much heat given the cooling that I used (Scythe Ninja) and the ambient around 27°C, I think it can go further without any harm.

If your running on a Asus P5k-e deluxe mb what bios are you guys using with your e7200?

[dafeeessh]

anybody know haw these clock on a A1 680i. might pick one up just to play with.

no bsel mod here, motherboard is completely stock.

this e7200 is making me wish i had a e8500 atm. superpi really could use that extra 3mb of cache. 9x500 only nets me around 11.2 seconds *untweaked*

should get mine in a week or so(newegg) will post results here(E7200+DFI LP DK P35-T2RS+ 2GB 996533 Mushkin D9GMH)

i thought mushkin used elpedia ic's for their hp series of ram... mabye its only on the pc-8500's.

Maybe you should play with 8M, the diference between E7200 and E8500 gets very very slim as the calculated number of pi digits grows

im having more fun playing with aquamark @ 4.6

So NBF its seems that the E7200 has changed your mind sort of. Would you says its a worthy upgrade from your E6400?? I have the E4300 so im pretty sure your E6400 is better than that.

Just ordered mine from Newegg. Going to be paired with an Asus P5k Deluxe Wifi/AP. Will update with OC results.

It's a fun chip, daily 4GHz will help with the gaming and for the benching we can squeeze more out of it.

If swapping cpus won't cost you too much money, then I consider it a very wise upgrade.

^^ I wanna know the same thing.

I have a 45 vs 65nm comparison here, but it is a E6600 and E7200.

Why do a BSEL mod if you can use the BIOS?

[carajean]

I can get the E7200 for $131 in town from microcenter.

Shame, NE has it for $132 w/ FS

I want a Microcenter so I can dig through their Q6600 batches though!

[carajean]

Yeah but I wont be able to have it that day.

[Hazaro]

I want a MC near me

Newegg gets it to me in 1 day though, record was 15 hours from payment via standard ground. (That was my E7200 )

[breakfromyou]

Why must people bring up Micro Center?!

working there has its advantages, if good weeks show up at least. I picked up an L737B Q6600 for $200, it is now a spare chip :O

[keenan]

Just recieved mine from Scan (UK)

E7200
Q811A069
Vid 1.186V

4.0Ghz took 1.45V to be prime stable, temps stay under 65'C.

[Hazaro]

I don't think it has a VID of 1.186, unless you meant to type 1.185 which would be very high. Use CoreTemp to check

At least you have good contact

[zaer0]

hey guys, just got my e7200 and ive some heat issues

when i set the vcore to 1,4 , the bios says 51° idle ! and orthos goes above 75°.

i have a TRUE and even my Q6600 at 1,6v wont run that hot. i remounted the TRUE already but it didnt make any changes.

any suggestions ?

4.0Ghz took 1.45V to be prime stable, temps stay under 65'C.

Got mine from SCAN too
The default VID is quite high too - I think it's over 1.2V but would have to check when I get home.

Currently running it at 9.5 x 333 trying to set Vcore manually rather than Auto to see how low I can set it and be fully stable.
I have tried 9.5 x 400 with Vcore at Auto and it POSTED but I didn't try loading windows.

Seems a big improvement from my E4500 when converting DivX using ConvertX to DVD. I was getting 2.x times speed but now see about 4 times. I think its partly due to it using the new SSE extensions.

[rintamarotta]

Hmm, bought 2days ago prebuild pc, cpu is E7200 and stepping seems to be C0 or then CPU-Z 1.45 is bugging hell out O.O



This was supposed to be comp for my son but i guess i take it my self if its true.

EDIT : Anyone knows if these have core glued to ihs?

Try that setting, 9.5 x 400 with 1.375V that should be stable

[carajean]

Ok I need a quick answer on these procs before I buy one locally. The VID on the outside of the box says 1.25 is that alright for a good overclocker?? also what revision am I lookin for and how do I know I have it??

[Leeghoofd]

That's not VID mate, VID can only be read out by CPU-Z, Real Temp and coretemp...so you need to install the CPU

check my list for good or known batches

Screw it im gonna take a chance at microcenter. I will post my results on initial overclock in a few hours.

Hey Leeg i got ur printout in hand goin to MC right now.
