e7200

clipped from www.hothardware.com The Core 2 Duo E7200 processor is ripe for overclocking, as it runs at a lower-than-standard front side bus speed for the processor lineup, has very low power consumption by default, and has a low core voltage level. It’s also manufactured on the same 45nm process technology we used the massive Coolermaster Gemini II cooling system overclocking efforts was a Core 2 Duo E7200 chip running at stable levels at 3.5 GHz clock speed. That’s a 38% overclock with a simple boost to the vCore levels and upping the front side bus speed – what we would consider to be very easy work. Our E7200 chip was actually able to hit 3.8 GHz at its peak, but was not as stable we demand from our overclocks. At 3.5 GHz, we were able to run through all of our tests without issue and pass all of our stress tests. This is a higher overclock than we were able to obtain with the Core 2 Quad Q9300 processor, which is basically the E7200 x 2
