E7200 Overclocking

[Spurs986]

Hello

I've read the guides a number oif times, and it all looks too complicated for me.

Does anyone know the perfect voltage/speed (ghz) for E7200 on Gigabtye P35-S3L using stock cooling. also will I need to change memory timings for Corsair 4GB Kit (2x2GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 XMS2 Memory Non-ECC Unbuffered CL5(5-5-5-18) Heat Spreader.

If so can someone give this info to me, I'll change it in BIOS and hope it works.

Thanks

If it looks too complicated for you, it might just be. Sorry, man.

Just do what I did...up the FSB from 266 to 333 . You'll be up and running at 3.16GHz.

OKay just up the FSB and thats it? sounds do able... did u use a stock cooler? I take on board the complicated comment, i agree... I understood it in theory up to memory timings and gave up lol.. so annoying that i cant do something which 1000s of people can.

Run the memory at 1:1 (2.0 in Gigabyte's BIOS) and you shouldn't have any problem at 333 FSB. Make sure the RAM voltage is set right.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply, how do i make sure RAM voltage is set right? would it be a auto thing or something I need to manually change?
