Limited ASRock G31M-GS motherboard?

[saaroc]

Hello I am trying to overclock an intel core two duo E5200 that can reach up to 4Ghz as far as I understand, but I can't go over 2.8 Ghz.

The configuration I put is similar to that of this video:

I can only put 225 for cpu speed and multiplier 12.5 if I put a higher number the total speed of the processor goes down to 2.49 Ghz.

The only explanation I see is that the motherboard is limited, am I right?

The motherboard: ASRock > G31M-GS

Thanks

hello and welcome, well if you are right that chipset can't handle more

BOARD
Compatible with all CPUs with FSB1600/1333/1066/800MHz
Works with DDR2 800/667 in dualchannel
Intel Graphics 3100, DirectX 9.0 and maximum shared memory of 384MB
PCIexpress 1X and 16X

PROCESSOR
CPU clock of 2.5Ghz
Bus speed: 800Mhz
Multiplier (Ratio/Clock): 12.5x
L2 cache size: 2Mb
Manufacturing technology: 45nm
Core Stepping: –
Thermal design power: 65w
Thermal specification: 74.1 C
Voltage range: 0.85V - 1.3625V

I'll explain how you can push it a little further

if you want to OC at 800mhz (EG: go from 2.5ghz to 3.3ghz) you will move jumper 1 to position 2-3 right next to the micro:

this is how the original jumper configuration looks

to overclock at 800mhz you move jumper 1 to position 2-3

if you want to keep pushing the MHz: in the BIOS, go to advanced, enter cpu configuration
and here you will change the overclocking option to:
CPU,PCI-E SYNC –--- if you have a video card
CPU,PCI-E ASYNC---- no video card

and start increasing the values by 2 remember that you are increasing the FSB which is the value that will be multiplied to give the CPU speed (voltage adjusts automatically).
don't increase the values all at once, always by 2 until you find the maximum, remember that you have already overclocked to 800mhz I think that's quite a lot...

PS: remember that this is not a gaming board and you are squeezing all the potential out of it and that chipset can't handle much

I also had that motherboard and it doesn't do much. I had an E5300 and an E2160 mounted on it, and I was able to get more out of the second one because it also runs at 1.8Ghz by default compared to the E5300's 2.6.

It's a shame that you can't squeeze more out of it, because the E5200/5300 were known for overclocking very well.

Thank you very much I have managed to go up to 3.2Ghz, I haven't tried to go higher but it's good for me :ugly:
The CPU still has a very good temperature of 25 º "at rest" it's a shame that you can't get more out of the micro because of the board but well.

Regards and thanks to everyone
