Some quick E2200 + IP35-E results

[Wall7486]

Just upgraded a siblings PC:

ABIT IP35-E
E2200 with ZeroTherm 120mm Nirvana
2GB Firestix PC8000

A few pics, quality not that good.
One
Two
Three


Those are basically the important specs. The E2200 is really not that bad for its price tag of $93. I'm glad I picked up the IP35-E when it had the rebate.

I hit 3.2Ghz (291x11) at 1.37Volt
Test 1

3.3Ghz (300x11) at 1.42Volt
Test 2

3.4Ghz (310x11) at 1.5Volt
Test 3


It looks like these Allendale runs very well up to 3-3.2ghz. Then the voltage doesn't scale as well. I can probably push it to 3.5 and 3.6 but it will probably need to hit 1.6V which I can't do on air and a little reluctant to.

Between 3.0 to 3.2 Ghz it stays well below 52C(load),
Between 3.2 to 3.4 it isa bout 55C to 58C(load)
At 3.4 it got up to 63C(load) while I was priming.



I will probably begin to tweak the memory a bit for timing purposes and send it back down to 3.2 so it can run a little cooler. I tried my best to run Prime as long as possible for each test but it is very time consuming. So I let it run for about 1-2 hour for each test for semi-stability first. When I'm done with all the tweaking I can let it sit for the whole day.

Nice. I snagged my E2200 for $97CDN during boxing week. I'm still running stock for now (stock cooler) but do plan to push it a bit but want to improve case/cpu cooling first.

The temps/voltage @ 3.4GHz would push my comfort level as well - 3-3.2GHz looks good.

I have the same Allendale chip but my mobo is Gigabyte GA-73VM-S2, can i jump directly to 2.9-3.0Ghz, that is raise FSB direct from 200Mhz to 270Mhz, would that be safe?

I guess I got a bum E2200, mine will barely do 3.1Ghz at 1.445v (BIOS). Anything more is unstable, and I don't want to give it more volts.

Shouldn't be too much problem. It seems under 2.8 you can still use stock voltage. The thing you should be more worried about is applying more voltage. After you hit 3.0 push the voltage slowly. The only downside of my board is the Voltage increment is in .02, 1.49 to 1.51.

What motherboard are you using Larry and RAM settings?

I didn't buy a new case, the old one has only a 80mm exhaust out take fan, given that and stock cooling and no upping vcore, what is the max i can get out of my E2200?

IP35-E, RAM is HP DDR2-667, at SPD settings (5-5-5-15, I think). Actual clock speed is 280Mhz, not 333. I'm at 11x280 FSB.
