e5200 for sale

[harpoon84]

Speaking of which, here's a review comparing the E5200 to the E2200 and E2160:
http://en.hardspell.com/doc/sh...ws_id=3885&pageid=3177

A solid improvement at stock, and if it overclocks to 4GHz (or close to it) it would easily blow away an E21x0 @ 3GHz.

I ordered one from the egg today, results soon.

 

[nyker96]

ya please post some OC results for this chip, interested to know.

There are many of us in this situation.

Me.
Do want E5200... must resist... nehalem.. soon..

Man, I have this 2140 running beautifully at 3.4G, it is so very hard to say goodbye to a 100%+ overclocked chip.... maybe I ust have to build yet another rig!

 

[minmaster]

ok so anyone successful overclocking it to the extreme?

right on, I'd just build a new rig and leave that 100% table 3.4G along for now. Hard to beat a machine that runs well. My older 754 rig running on the venerable Tforce 6100 is the same. I just love that rig. Now I delegate it to NAS duty. it's still one of the best board I've ever owned. Still running strong.

Anyone have one and OC it yet? What kind of voltage do we need to get to 4.0Ghz?

 

[nyker96]

yes please post some results here for this chip. we all dying to know.

4.3GHz is impressive, but @ 1.7V Wow, that 12.5 Multi really keeps the FSB down.

Chicken that I am, I'd stop at 1.5V

~1.44v or more. In comparison, an e8600 can reach 4.0Ghz with 1.05v

For everyone like myself who's looking for some results on this chip:
here're one from newegg reviews: 3.9GHZ 1.45V (24/7 stable)

My Abit IP35-E does NOT support the E5200 according to this Table. However it supports other Wolfdales like the E7x00's and E8x00's.

Do I have to wait for a firmware upgrade?

Since Abit is pulling out of motherboard business, new software/firmware is unlikely.

Are you using BIOS 18? I think the e5200 should work fine.

I assume you mean v15, the latest on that table I linked?

If so I'm sure I'll need to upgrade, last touched it in ~March. I remember it was painful, doesn't like my floppy. Don't recall exactly the steps.

 

[VirtualLarry]

Yes, im wondering about IP35E support too. Whats the latest beta bios for the board?

Me 3.....worried with Abit going under if bios support is over!

 

[nerp]

Up to BIOS 18. I even used the winflash utility.

I also got a 35E, but I think Intel isn't releasing anything new after this round for P35s so we should be ok. ANything newer we all have to get new boards anyways.

I've just got my E5200. Its a dog. Refuses to boot up at any fsb over 310 regardless of multiplier (hint: 6x310 is only 1.8ghz, and I've tried everything from 6x to 12.5x max). I have a P43 board that does over 400+ fsb no problem. It seems some of these bottom of the barrel 45nm parts are somewhat hardware locked for FSB, like some of the rumors you may have heard about other intel core products. I can hit 3.5ghz with this chip and thats it. Barely any better than a 1.5+ yr old e2xxx.

Only 3.5Ghz? 310 FSB x 12.5 is 3.875! My friend's runs at 3.75Ghz stable at 1.4v (actual), 300 FSB x 12.5.
