Yup, dats wat i planning 2 get..... a new mobo. They recommend me da Abit IP35e..... Trying my luck OCing my e2180.....

Same here also, wanna c da performance in da E2200 proc..... planning of getting those, but hav 2 change MoBo 1st....

Yikes, my hand got itchy and i took off the stock cooler, cleaned everything and install it back with AS5. Idle temperature used to be 26c. Now, its already at 40c. Darn..Must be something wrong during installation. Not too used with the HSF of Intel.

Really waiting for my Freezer. Reverted everything back to stock cause i am worried i might fry my processor...

how did u mount it..try the X mouting way, alternate opposite X direction push pinning.

now i can join this family for a few months:) i have a e2140

Pardon me but could you explain more on this? I dont really get it..Sorry for my noobiness..LOL...

Anyway, would it be due to Vista? Previous temperature (from bios) was on XP. New temperature was on Vista.

when u mount the cooler, it has 4 pins right


1 3

2 4



imagine the above numbers are the pins, press down onto 1, then 4, then 3 then 2, to make an X pattern so the pressure is even

Ic...Thanks for the guide. Will try it out again tonight...

forgot to mention, press down a little bit on each point, but repeat it a few times, so that u dont risk damaging the cpu

Thanks alot for the info there bro. Will check out whether there is any difference in temperature or not tomorrow...

Hopefully, my Freezer is here as well at that point...

@akachester
Be sure not 2 put too much pressure also. Push slowly until u here a click sound....

Ok..I am kinda getting freak out here. What WILL happen if i put "too" much preasure?Sorry but i had never been on Intel platform before and is kinda new to this new push pin thingy on the Intel Stock Cooler. Was adapted to the AMD type..

Does this mean, i should :

- Push the pin down first

- Then, twist the pin to lock it?


But how do i know whether i push enough down? With the click sound?

Edited :

OT: Just wondering, do you guys know whether there is a better mounting kit (like the screw ones from Xigmatek) for the Freezer 7? I kinda dislike the clip on (stock) mounting already..

ok..... 1stly.... when u hav taken out da HSF, u can c an arrow pointing which way 2 turn. Pull all da pins back, twist it opposite 4rom da direction pointed(sori 4 my bad english)hehehe Then place da HSF into position, n push da pins 1 by 1 in da X method like mention b4 by others..... U will hear da click sound when u r pushing...... Undrstnd???

Senang citer, lock it 1st, then push it down........ N bout da 'TOO MUCH PRESSURE APPLY' i m not so sure...... On my mobo only got craking sound(scary) but... its still working....

hope dis help.... I m not so gud at it...... Try asking sum1 else opinion n c....

It is not easy to seat heatsink on 775.All the contact meet with motherboard hole,make sure all the clip is opposite arrow direction,push down diagonally(1-3,2-4) until you hear the click sound.Be careful,easy to break the clip.

Ok..Got the info there rozz_1291. Thanks alot...

Never knew about those easy to break clips though..LOL..I always thought they are built strong..

Anyway, didnt have the chance to reseat the heatsink yesterday. Back from work too late. But i did check the temperature and the idle temperature as said, has fallen from 40c to 35c yesterday.

the clips are designed to take vertical stress/pressure, not horizontal

thats why if you bend it a little and press it down it will break.

Got myself a retail E2160 to play with. Done the kitchen foil BSEL mod again(i'm starting to get better at doing this, 15 minutes and i'm done ) and drop the processor into the socket.

Specs:
- Intel E2160 L2 (VID 1.325v) BSEL mod 200MHz --> 266MHz FSB
- Xigmatek HDT-S963 HSF (62°C full load via CoreTemp and Intel TAT reading)
- AsRock ConRoe1333-D667 R1.0
- 2x 1GB Team Group Value DDR2-667
- Enermax FMAII 460W

Chipset wall at 350MHz FSB. SuperPI 1M at 20.032s

CPUID Validated

oh well i am now with you guys, now for some little clocks i did with my little rig

And with my little CM Hyper 212.

Aiyaa.... now i c evry1 wit E2140 can OC above 3.0...... A big diffrnt...... can't wait 4 my new MoBo 2 arrive...... hehehehe.....

its not about oc=ing above 3.0Ghz its about the art of oc-ing which is important
