E7200

Expand Post »

I have the following system configuration:

Ultra aluminus midtower case
Ultra X-Pro 600watt APFC psu (80 PLUS certified)
Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3L Motherboard with F4 BIOS
Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 with stock cooler
PNY 2gb ddr2-800 ram
120gb hard drive
HIS Radeon HD2600PRO Ice-Q 512MB Video Card
Single 120mm rear exhaust fan (soon to be better exhaust fan and 120mm intake fan)

So my question is, is there a way to overclock my e7200 without:

raising my temps much
requiring an after market cpu cooler
needing voltage/vcore changes
needing any ram overclocking

It currently is running at stock 2.53ghz speed. I want to get a little more speed out of it, while meeting the conditions above. Is it possible. Thanks for your help.

Hi ,i have never overclocked a computer but read up on it a few time over the years and I think all those things will have to occur to overclock the computer .

Re: E7200

yea.... ummm... why do you want to overclock again? you say you don't want to overclock it much. but to be able to tell a difference in performance you would have to overclock it by alot. if you overclocked it from a 2.5 to like a 3.0 or a 3.2 you would see a performance increase. but with that comes all the things you mentioned you didn't want to do...

my advice. don't overclock at all. that is a good CPU don't shorten is life span just for a MINOR performance increase. trust me you would need a stress test to be able to tell the difference.
