Overclocking old CPU
Overclocking old CPU
Hello, I found out that my CPU is not enough good to run everything, lack of speed.
I have Intel core 2 duo - E8200 @ 2.66 GHz
FSB 1333 MHz
VCORE 1,152 V
Mobo : Asus p5k
Is there anything else you I need to know before?
I have stock cooler.
I dont need high frequencies, just more than 2,66 without any problems like heat or high voltage.
PS: I have 2x 2GB AND 2X 1GB DDR2 SDRAM ....is it problem?
Would you like to know what adjustments to make? What clock speeds should I consider? What maximum temperatures are acceptable? I just increased the base clock. However, OC'ing can become quite complicated. It’s best to look for an online guide. For example: http://www.legionhardware.com/articles_p...ide,1.html. Heat depends on many other factors, so monitor temperatures with a tool like Real Temp. Particularly with the original cooler, which isn’t built for the extra heat from OC'ing. Once you feel confident in overclocking, I recommend getting an aftermarket cooler such as a Cooler Master 212 EVO or a CRYORIG H7.
You won't see significant performance gains from that CPU even after overclocking. Without an unlocked multiplier, the only option is to raise the base clock by a few hundred MHz. However, the standard cooler might struggle to manage the extra heat. Still, give it a shot if you're curious.
