need help for OC-ing intel E5200

[scream_jake]

---

can somebody help me, i want to OC my E5200; below are the specs of my simple unit
mobo - emaxx ig31
proc - intel e5200
ram - 2gb kingston ddr2 800mhz
rom - samsung dvd writer (sata)
hdd - 320gb seagate barracuda (sata)
psu - a cheap 550w supply
HSF - intel stock HS

i've read some basic guides in OC-ing, but i think its best if someone know the specs of the proc to be OC-ed..
thanks all..hoping for a quick reply..

first step: change PSU sa kay basin tuk-an unya na imong current.

Bisan og kutob ra 3.0mhz kutob akong sulayan, mag.ilis jd kog PSU?
thank you for a quick reply..

Kanang 550w intex accopia nga PSU bro, ok rana sya?dili ayo sya power pero pang.testing rman..

dali ra na. ilis tag processor unya akoy oc sa imo chip. hehehehehe

ceejay,

hahaha...diritso sa punto

Before ka mo OC, pede ka mag abi og Tapsilogan. Maka luto man og itlog ang processor nimo wakekeke.

Bitaw, wala ko sure if maka OC bana nga board.

dagan ra na maski generic psu gam a lang 3 ghz na imo E5200 ok pa na
ayaw lang increase og voltage e set lang og 240 imoha system bus kana current nga 200 3ghz na daun dagan ana the rest set to auto na hehehehe

the E5200 can handle up to 3.2ghz overclock without increasing the voltage. i tried 3.0ghz (240fsb x 12.5 multiplier) stock voltage. wala siya ni reklamo, but underclock your RAM lang if you're going 3.0ghz, maintain it at 800mhz, (when u OC ur CPU, ur RAM's speed will go up too.) here's my setup with Gigabyte EG31m-ES2C Mainboard 240x12.5, stock voltage, RAM multiplier reduced to 3.3 (=800mhz). im not so sure if OC friendly imung board like the byties. and yah, the stock HSF can handle OC's up to 3.2ghz as well. and yah sir poldopunk is right, use a branded power supply, a generic power supply might not be able to handle your OC'ed CPU's thirst for power, it might give up and madamay imung board. so go branded PSU (for safety lang) since they have higher power efficiency, overvoltage protection, etc, incase.

and yah, increasing the voltage gives the procie a higher stress level, so go as far as your stock voltage can handle ;p. but i'll be increasing my voltage when i reach 3.5ghz for now 3.0ghz max usa ko kay wala pa koy kwarta pang palit ug core contact freezer cooler
