twopaca Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Hi, recently i really got into overclocking locked sandy bridge cpus like the i3 2100, i5 2400 ect. My question is how high can those cpus clock the fsb on ambient cooling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted March 29, 2020 Crew Share Posted March 29, 2020 Expect around average 104 to 107bclock straight boot from bios.. But also check the IMC Some cpus have solid block but can't clock memory high... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythical tech Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 There are a few settings that can get you almost 1fsb higer on air that I don't think many people have tried. If you want to buy my 2400 let me know. It does 111 on air. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crew Leeghoofd Posted March 29, 2020 Crew Share Posted March 29, 2020 Depends on the CPU... Best is to compare with results at the bot... 1866mhz is a start... But I had several good bclocking cpus but max bootable mem divider only 1600mhz... Not gonna cut it in superpi 32m or geekbenches... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted March 29, 2020 Crew Share Posted March 29, 2020 Euh Sandy bridge and 2400mhz, good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythical tech Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) One of my chips can almost do 2400 mhz but it has to do it with the 2133 divider and bclk to get there. It might be able to do more but my boards tops out at about 111mhz so I can't get it above 2350 Edited March 29, 2020 by Mythical tech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twopaca Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 what vccsa, and io voltages are a good starting point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythical tech Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 For locked sandy I use stock on ambient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy IMC is not that super, some can do 2250-2300ish tight, others won't even make it to 2000 when bclocking... especially the IMC on these locked CPU's are in general so so All depends on CPU blockability/ IMC quality / memory use/ motehrboard and benchmark that you run, I'm only interested in 32M stable btw, no need for 2300+ ,on wprime ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was promoting 2133 for binning standards. "If it can't do 2133 on air I would not bother with it" I think there might have been an initial confusion between 2400mhz and i5 2400 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
