EP45-UD3P and E5200 Bios Settings

[Alkora]

Anyone out there running a e5200 on EP45-UD3P (or similar gigabyte board)? I'm looking for some good bios settings for a 3.5GHZ+ OC and want to see what everyone else is running. If you get a chance, can you post them here for reference? Thanks

Re: EP45-UD3P and E5200 Bios Settings

I am also interested in this question as I just built the same mobo/cpu combo and was about to post the same question. The bios settings available are much different than the other (slightly older) Gigabyte board in my other rig.

Did a search already, nothing out there... Oh well, back to the basics of testing.

Please post me a link to your ram and I can get you some settings for sure!

Sorry for the late reply, I have been really backed up here this week

Thanks- Here is the link to my ram

Here is a link to my current CPU-Z. Processor:

Ram:

I had my ram at a 5-5-5-18 timing when trying to get past 3.25 but for some reason I can't quite get past it.... I had my voltage higher (went as high as 1.44 but only one of the cores really worked at that voltage). I've seen lots of people get stable OCs on these chips at the 3.6-3.8 range... And i don't think its my ram thats holding me back. My cooler is adequate too. I think, AC Freezer 7 Pro.

Thanks for your advice!

Re: EP45-UD3P and E5200 Bios Settings

Here ya go, this should be a good optimal range for you to start with >>>

I could not view your CPU-z images, but not so important anyway. Here is some 3.5 settings for you to try. Just put Vcore high enough to for sure boot you can lower it later. Not sure what that CPU can do really as not many use it

Re: EP45-UD3P and E5200 Bios Settings

Thanks. That was 100% stable at 3.5ghz. 2 hours occt and 8 hours prime. Gotta test a little bit more to get past 3.5, next attempt is to get to 3.75-85 range. I haven't be able to yet, but I am trying.

Re: EP45-UD3P and E5200 Bios Settings

Nice to hear! Glad to see you take on some initiative and think ahead!

If you do need some more help with a higher speed (or even that one) please post back the exact settings you are using that are failing for you and I will advise

Good luck tweaking!

Re: EP45-UD3P and E5200 Bios Settings

This is awsome Ive been looking and reading for some time now even ordered another cpu because I coulnd find to much on this one, ordered a q6600 but I am going to try these setting anyway I hope they work with my gskill 6400 4-4-4-12. thanks lsdmeasap

Re: EP45-UD3P and E5200 Bios Settings

So I have the e5200 and the same motherboard. The only difference is that i do have that G.Skill Pi ram from the link above. its settings are 4-4-4-12 at 1.8-1.9 Volts. Also, as i am new at this, when overclocking, should I try to set one thing at a time? I mean should i leave everything except like the pci value (100) set to auto and focus on vcore and fsb(including letting it set the ram). I have read some guides to this but am a bit confused. Also i was trying to just match your settings but I couldnt figure out if you meant vcore in bios should be that or if that accounts for vdroop(which i dont really understand either) any advice would be much appreicated! Thanks!

Re: EP45-UD3P and E5200 Bios Settings

OK.
I must be doing something wrong. I can get up to about 250 FSB and no higher no matter what the voltage(up to 1.3625 or whatever intel recommentds). At 250 i can use the stock voltage of 1.22500. then it just stops. All I am adjusting is Vcore and bus tho. Not memory or anythnig like that. i was just seeing what I could do. Am I missing a setting or something that I need to change off auto? This is sorta disappointing, I was hoping for 3.5 Ghz...

Re: EP45-UD3P and E5200 Bios Settings

LSD4MASAP, Thankyou so much for helping the orignal guy. I happen to have the exact same setup as him, and couldn't find ANY help online. all of the guides I was reading were using different mobo's and after several hours of reading/attempting to overclock, I didn't feel safe. I used your settings, and memtest86+ was perfect and orthos is fine so far.... (we'll see).

Anyways I have a question that anyone answer....

I clocked it to 350 *10 to get the 3.5ghz speed, but orthos is reporting my cpu speed as 4374mhz!!!

why is it reporting that, and is it safe?

Thanks for helping me.

I think he meant vcore in whatever program you use should be at 1.36v, not the bios. I put my vcore in the bios to 1.400000 and it ended up coming out to 1.36v (intel's recommended) in cpu-z.
