Overclocking abit ip35

[ionicsachin]

hi friends
i am new to overclocking
i ve read many many online guides to novice overclocking....i ve familiarised myself with all the terms and thr meanings.....now i m planning to give it a try on my e8200 on ip35-pro....
system clock is 333 i think....can i take it directly to 380 or 390 and then start 5 mhz small increments....coz i ve seen ppl get 400x8 easily on e8200 easily....
wat is use of increasing nb voltage when unstable

[nish_higher]

you can just take it directly to 400 instead of increments.i've done that on our E8200 and Biostar TP35D2A7 and ur mobo is way way better ! maybe it will go upto 430-440 without any V-mod but i'm yet to test mine
then start doing it the increment way
btw which ram is it ? value ram?

and here's a tutorial on E8200 overclocking-

thats wat the ram is tensing me up....
its a transcend 2x1gb 800mhz ddr2....bought it for 2100bucks....
which is the best 2x1gb under 2k for overclocking

[ionicsachin]

any suggestions?

[mayanksharma]

Patriot EP/Signature Series or Corsair XMS series!
A Patriot Signature could be affordable by paying couple of hundreds over 2K, though XMS on the other hand is way costly. Btw, let me share u a secret...Patriot Signature RAMs with heat sink have few modules which are of EP series by part number. Believe me, if u are lucky as me...u are going to love the honest cheat!! :D :D

i am confused between 2
patriot signature 2x1gb pc2-6400 costing 2.2k
and
g-skill 2x1gb pc2-6400 for 2.3
in reviews the 2nd one has proven better and it easily goes to 475 mhz which is enuf coz i m no serious overclocker

[mayanksharma]

Yep, G-Skill is good. Dont go by reviews everytime. I have Patriot and it touches 500Mhz easily. Depends upon the model though. I leave last choice upon you.

[ionicsachin]

i ll go with g-skill....coz i m gettin it locally at ease.....
and lolz....any overclock xpected frm my present transcend 2x1gb 800mhz sticks....

[hellgate]

r u clocking on the stock HSF?
as for the ram the Transcend 800MHz sud easily do 900MHz and above (my 667 does 900MHz).

[ionicsachin]

wat is hsf? is it voltage?
and i dint overclock yet....
shud i give these transcend sticks a try?
wat vdimm are u using?

[Pathik]

HSF= Heat sink and fan. Are you using any 3rd party coolers?

[hellgate]

HSF = Heatsink Fan. ru using the Intel stock HSF?
try the Transcend sticks,they aint that bad.
vdimm for me is 2.2v @ 900MHz @ 4-4-4-12.

try these settings 4 ur E8200:
FSB = 400
DRAM:FSB = 1:1

CPU vcore = 1.4050 (if system is stable then dec to 1.3850 and try)
leave rest to default settings.try these rec the idle and load temps and post here.

[ionicsachin]

sure i will give these settings a try. ... ..i m using arctic silver 5 with stock cooler:d.....i kno it sux
and i ll be bak on monday with overclock results....i ve got my iitjee this sunday....

what does this 4-4-4-12 and 5-5-5-12 means... i have read it in many places...

[hellgate]

4-4-4-12 -> these figs denote the memory timings ur ram can do at a certain fsb (i.e 4-4-4-12 @ 667MHz).
4-4-4-12 correspond to the following: CL-RCD-RP-RAS

Just read thru this and u'll understand:

Not actually !! :p I've applied AS5 with stock HSF on my Quad, and clocked at 2.8Ghz, the temps are reduced alot. Atleast the difference is enough to makeup for what i paid for AS5! Aftermarket coolers are anytime better than stock HSF though..

[ionicsachin]

which is the best value for money cooler....

[hellgate]

get TRUE if u can.sud cost bout 2.7k. + cost of a good 120mm fan
