    I may have to up the NB a little to get more fsb out of this chip. I notice a lot of people are running their NB volts a little high for these chips.

    30 mins is far from stable but a good start, but indeed better opt for another cooler before testing further....

    Lee,
    Thanks for putting together the wolfdale oc list. I'm still tweaking with my e7200 at 4.15 ghz. I think she's at her limit. I'll post up screenshots later.
    As Los Alamos director J. Robert Oppenheimer watched the demonstration, he later said that a line from the Hindu scripture the Bhagavad Gita came to mind:
    "I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
    Test director Kenneth Bainbridge in turn said to Oppenheimer, "Now we are all sons of b**ches." wiki

    Is it sad that Im not thinking I dont want to change cpu heatsinks because the freezer isnt blue??? My current heatsink has a pretty blue fan on it.

    btw mate you feel the difference between the E4300 and the E7200?
    and if you do, it worth the money?

    Hey guys.

    After seeing the results of my previous ocing, a few of my friends also told me to pickup this batch from the store.

    Here is another chip which is under testing. Another Q808A537. Both chips have VID of 1.075

    Yes I do feel its worth it. Vista is a lot snappier and I bet once I get 4 gigs total ram it will be even more snappier. My game are for sure a lot smoother than before. I attribute that mostly to the little extra cache and the clock speed.
    Even though my windows experience cpu score is only 5.8......... which boggles me.

    It'll still be at 5.8 even if you have your CPU clocked to 4.7GHz, and it passes the test.
    The only way to get 5.9 is if you have more than three cores running at very high clocks (3.6GHz?)

    some how I lost mmy 3.8ghz overclock. using the same setting with a better cooler I cant get it back.

    I up'd the northbridge voltage. Im gonna try the cpu next, but i dont want to hit 1.4 volts.

    What's wrong, my 4.04GHz E8500 get 5.9 in Vista CPU, it's dual core CPU.
    I think 5.9 can be reached with less clocked quad CPU, I haven't it, but I remember AMD screenshots from their presentations, Phenom X4 clocked 3GHz get 5.9 on them. Perfomance of this Phenom shouldn't be more than ~3GHz Core2 Quad.

    Can I have a screenshot? Because no matter how I looked at it, E8400, and E8500, and now E7200, none can pass 5.8 no matter how highly clocked they are. Q9450 can easily take the 5.9 throne, though.

    Where typically would you miss the extra cache that the e8300-e8500 has? Doing what and such do you use it most? Sorta stupid question but curious what sort of difference I'd see going from a e4300 to a e7200 or if I should rather go to e8400. Thx

    BTW any of you guys regret not going for e8400 or 8500 instead

    Someone know if e7200 will work on gigabyte p965 ds3 rev 1??
    It is 1066mhz fsb so it should work, but gigabyte site says "N/A"

    Some1 actually tried? the cpu is arriving tomorrow so i want to know if I should open the box and try.

    I do not regret it because my budget cant afford it, plus the performance difference to me didnt warrant the extra $70 bucks. The difference in performance isnt much maybe 5%.

    Also it prolly will work as long as the board supports 45nm procs.

    I have one option left:
    Use my brothers p5b-e which supports 45nm, even 1333fsb (my ds3 supports 1066mhz).
    I get the cpu soon, should i use it or send it back and get a e8400 instead?
    Is it worth the effort and waiting? I dont think so, but I will do some serious damage 2 some1 or something if it shows
    that the e7200 dont clock well...

    Help me 2 choose.

    btw. i hate asus overclocking menus... i have to change between like 5 tabs to just change a bit mhz and voltage.
    Gigabyte is far more cleaner and easier 2 use imo.

    Hi, this is my first post here at XS. been a lurker for quite a while now.

    just got my e7200 a few days ago but was waiting for my activation here to post here



    highest so far but not orthos/occt stable but can still play games on it


    validation:http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=369478

    FPO/Batch # Q808A537
    VID: 1.2125v (this is also the lowest vcore on my Abit F-I90HD)

    Abit F-I90HD modded BIOS v18 (waiting for the new matx mobos to arrive here)
    256mb IGP
    2x1gb Team Xtreem Dark ddr2-800 (looking to get a Ballistix 16FD3 or 16FD5 locally)
    generic 500w PSU. (saving up for a Corsair HX psu)

    all screenies are on stock everything unless otherwise noted.

    currently running it now at 3.2ghz with mems@1:1

    im still wondering what is considered a "good" vid chip vs a "bad"



    ive got a 1.1 and it clocks like crap in my opinion... then again im @ 500fsb...

    Awesome work Counter CS, I think you need to pump more volts into it.
    does it run cooler now that with the IHS?

    The voltage depends on the board as well, but typically, with low VID chips, you can reach higher clocks with lower volts.
    Aside from that, 1.1v sounds like you are using an older version of CoreTemp. Try CoreTemp 0.99 and see what it has to say?

    I don't get it either. It's not like the Q6600, that low mostly means good.

    I have one E7200 that is 1.15 VID and its terrible, needs 1.55V for 4GHz stable and I can't bench over 4300, neither with 1.7V. I will sell it ASAP.
