| Hi fellows , Have come onto here from system building where some guy`s suggested I could get some advise on an overclock, Firstly am using an E7200 on a Gigabyte ds3r mobo, Not sure what the bios version will be (gets here tomorrow) so what one will I need for the 7200? have downloaded the latest ready,Any pointers to the first step on the way to 3 maybe 3.2 please.

Do you need a bios update?
Just set the ram timings and voltage manually in the bios and then increase the cpu fsb. 3.2Ghz should be easily attainable. 
Intel e7200 @ 4.0GHz (4.16GHz SP) Lapped Asus P5E-VM 4Gb Patriot Pc6400 4-4-4-12 250Gb Samsung Spinpoint Sapphire ATI 3870/Akasa Vortexx Neo Enermax 600 Watt PSU Ubuntu/Win XP All in a Thermaltake Handbag... Try some MM Super Pi(e) here!

| Well guy`s had un-expected time to start out, So far have set 375 in the cpu host frequencyand set 2.40 on the memory multiplier added 0.1v to the ddr2 over voltage and the FSB over volt control and took the CPU voltage control to 1.5v. System reports the cpu runs @3.56 but although CPU-Z initially displayed these speeds, It doesnt since I attempted to flash the Bios from vF2 to v F3e. The only place I can find the bios version is on cpu-z, So it seems to be running at 3.56ghz, Any comments please.

| Ok, Was worried about does this work or not, It took seconds to get it to 3.56!! Was helped by an article I found with screen shots on o/c a 1.6 dual core.Is the memory clocked enough? and, Where can I get Orthos.
