    Disappointing Overclock on E7200 & P35 - Any Ideas? (No Newbie Questions Inside :))

    I've updated my BIOS and double checked memory timings so I suspect I've probably just got a bit of a dud OCer. :( Oh well so much for the budget OCer... I mean 3.6 is 'OK' but I was expecting 3.8-4 without too much hassle.

    That's pretty high isn't it Jyve. I don't think it's worth risking your CPU for a few extra Mghz, which probably doesn't translate into a huge amount in gaming FPS given the CPU is well overspec. I know Intel say ~1.37 on their website and even I'm currently running it at 1.41 volts nervously.

    Tried what you suggested but wouldn't even POST at that setting. (422 x 9) I suspect I just don't have a good OCing CPU. :(

    Hi Jared, Thanks for your detailed response. I will try as you suggest and see If I get any where. 1) My memory is running @ 2.1v (manually set) and well under it's 1066 spec during CPU OC. 2) I'm failing Prime 95. 3) My Vcc hits 1.384v during Full Load and doesn't budge from...

    Thanks for your replies. I'll keep trying. It might just be i've got a crap CPU which happens quite regularly apparently. I will try raising my Row Refresh Cycle Time to 54. My BIOS Version is 1013.

    Hey Guys, Just wondering how 'likely' or 'easy' is it to cause permenant damage to your video card by overclocking? I know it will depend on much you overclock but is there a safe way to go.
