Calm down bro. Hahha.. Yea! I aint sure is the temp is correct/normal temp for this E series proc or not. Because im use with my previous P4 PressHot temp which is around 40-45'c on idle. But this time the temp for E proc is shocked me. Well, im using 3rd party of cooling atm.

@a1098113
None OC at the moment. Everything is on stock speed. But the system temp (NB chip temp i perhaps?) is quite high. Is around 40-48'c all the way. Btw, i was using P35-DS3R. Guess 3rd party chipset cooler is needed?

Hm.. Not sure about the ram as i got all the parts it from a forumer nearby my place for the price of RM800. Include mobo, ram, GC (7900GT) and this E2180 proc.

i did not say it defines an Overclocker, but i said it shows how good an ocer is, no comparison between good or bad over temp levels.. Because if u read my sig.. overclocking is not about spending tons of money to get the fastest times and best results.. its how much you can get out of your current system to perform better. By the way, temperatures are very important for overclocking, so if an Ocer doesnt know how to maintain them, then theres no reason why he should be a good overclocker.

non oc with low temp is normal, somemore with gaint 3rd party cooler.

@hengmy
Yea. But just the chipset is quite hot. 4x'c on idle seems quite high right? Will give some oil pumping on my rigs when i got the time.

hehe...
but mine idle pun dlm 38-39 je...
so maybe kena pakai TIM elok sket lor...
nyway no one reply my Q...
is it normal for load temp @53-56c??

the chipset is 90nm, so hotter?? but 4x'c not very hot what

u oc ady, it depend much on ur vcore imho.. full load 5x'c is normal as well inside a casing..
if stock vcore mayb can less than 50c

Techfrix, it is very normal for load temp around 50oC even for stock speed with giant 3rd party cooler.

fylon, what oil pumping u refering to ??

@LExus65
oil pumping = OC

But now no time for it as too busy with study. Cant even got the time to read the user manual for the available bios option.

its perfectly normal if your ambient temp is the same as the room temp... load should be around 50 degrees, same like my IFX14

hehe...manage to reach 3.24ghz (my siggy) but on 1.425v..
tighter my ram to 4-4-4-12...
one Q here, what is the pros and cons for setting divider to 1:1 and 5:6..?
thanks...

set 1:1 when ur ram not so oc-able, so it will same mhz as ur cpu fsb, if ur ram is highly ocable then can set 5:6 which run faster, but it depend on ram's timing as well..

Some say performance is better using 1:1 ratio compared to using diff ratio that results in same ram speed, but that might be something i wrongly picked up somewhere. Mind you i dont think i can quote any1 on this, 1 of those he said she said things.

if want to set my ram timing, is it better to set @bios or memset??
pls give some advice to me...just learn how to OC ram recently..

normal timings at bios.. especially the first four subtimings.. then go into windows and use memset to tighten it.. but make sure u dont save the timings... coz if hang... habis you..

hmmm.....can boot using safe mode and reset the saved timings rite?

yalah... but u need to login as admin in safe mode.... :S i had a big problem wit that once... :S

I got this weird results.



Supposed to be running 3.4Ghz @ stock vcore,but i don't know why CPU-Z shows that my Vcore increased.

Decided to keep the proc bro?

EDIT: Btw.......whys the idle temp so high, thought ur using a tuniq tower?

update from my e2140 rig.

O.C E2140 up to 80% (360*8 = 2880 MHz) + Value Kingston DDR2 667 (360*2.4 = 864Mhz) on GA-P35-DS3 without up Vcore/Vdim

Temp :
Idle 33'c (in room temp ; ~23'c/aircond)
Full Load Temp ; 45~50+

Guys, I've an extra abit IP35P motherboard, fresh from warranty, please view: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/732916 if interested.
