Overclocking E8200, FSB:DRAM Ratio - Tips Please

[poldopunk]

---

My friend has the following specs:

MSI na mobo, maximum FSB supported is 1600.
Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 - 2.66 GHz
2 * 2GB DDR2-800 (400Mhz * 2 = 800 MHz)

We overclocked the thing with FSBRAM ratio 1:1 and this is what we came up.

CPU FSB = 400 MHz
CPU Multiplier = 8 (default)

so basically,

CPU is 400 * 8 = 3200 GHz
System Bus is 400 *4 (quad pump)= 1600 MHz
RAM is 800 MHz * 2 = 1600 MHz

1600 MHz = 1600 MHz, hence FSBRAM ratio 1:1

Core temp is at 40C idle, 60C fully loaded (intel stock HSF) where northbridge temp is 60 more or less.

is there a much better way to overclock this thing other than the method we used above that would give us a much better result or is there a way to push thing thing further? My friend is considering an aftermarket cooler (i suggested the sunbeam core contact yadayada, btw ) and the zalman northbridge cooler.

As always, thank you istoryans.

pareha ta tanan bro sa settings..pero sa processor lahi...e2180 lng..hehe

pag thermalright hr -05.ifx nlng bro para sa imo northbridge...hehe

asa ka mag monitor sa imo northbridge bro?

speedfan so dili kaayo accurate ang readings.

1:2 na imo FSB:Ram

[poldopunk]

ngano na 1:2 man? as per cpu-z, 1:1 with the oc'ed settings.

[ajol]

1:1 if FSB=400Mhz and RAM is 800mhz (400 x 2)

1:2 if FSB=400mhz and RAM is 1600Mhz (800 x 2)

you are running 1:1

[poldopunk]

gipang total raman nako tanan nilang values. like sa cpu fsb which is quad pump, so 1600 while the RAM is 2 stick 800 MHz is also 1600.

looy ayo imo ram brod..if 1:1.... wat nga memory imo gamit? try use other ratio asa mas better output mao na mas ok hehehe

[isyot_daut]

ngano looi man bro nga wala man gani na oc iya ram if BUS SPEED niya is 400 dn multi is 8 ang iya ram ana is 800MHz so ok kaau

Example:
ram settings are in auto
BUS SPEED: 500 ===>RAM 1000MHz

CORE SPEED/2 ===> RATED FSB
3200MHz ===> 1600MHz
RATED FSB/2 ===> RAM MHz
1600MHz ===> 800MHz
pero ma oc ra pud nimo ang ram if u manually select it..

I would suggest. 1:1 ratio. it would be enough. It doesn't cause any bottlenecks. 4-4-4-12 cas timings or lower would also help the speed.
