e7200 OC Question

[paradigm.r]

I bought a computer recently and I want to lower the overclock down from its original 3.8ghz overclock. Im trying a FSB of 333 for a total of 3.16ghz which I have read is a very conservative clock. My questions are, what is the stock voltage for an e7200 and how is the best way to determine the lowest stable voltage? Mine was set in the 1.3s for the 3.8 clock so I know it should be way lower for 3.16ghz. Just how low? I am a n00b when it comes to overclocking so I appreciate the help!

finding your lowest stable voltage on any overclock is really just a trial and error process. Drop the voltage a notch run some small fft's with orthos for about an hour. No errors reboot and drop again. When you start getting errors raise it back up and notch and see how long it will run.

4hours or more of small FFT's should show you a stable OC

Each processors needs for any given over clock can vary greatly from chip to chip.

There are 2 e7200's on the intel site depending on which yours is here's all the spec info on the chip.
