E7200 overclock

[Jurgens]

Hi there, i have another PC almost like mine, its a intel E7200 with 2gb ddr2 memory, 8600GT, asus P5KPL-AM SE

my question is will the standard psu (350watt) be able to OC the cpu high, and what would the max be out of the cpu, with that crap PSU, oh and i have 2 HDD's running so im not using so much power, except for the 8600GT...


Tanx!

The E7200 has a 65 watt TDP. That is also a reasonable high side estimate of how much power it needs. Overclocking will not add more than about 20 - 25% to that - or about 15 watts.

You will not need to worry about the amount of power from the PSU. You may, however, need to worry about the quality of the PSU.
