Almost same result as my E2140 (3.2Ghz) with same hardware.....

Is there any long term effects if u overclock it too high??

yeah, a short life span and well things like electron mitigration and etc.

I've overclocked everything starting from a 486DX4-100 and some are used for more than a year but they never fail until the day I sold them off/upgraded. Most importantly is how you manage the heat issue.

i think good cooling + not so extreme overvolt makes the effect minimal, not even noticable if u not using ur proc over 10 years as normal proc lifespan are at least 10years...

Not to mention most people would upgrade their hardwares in 1-2 years time normally. For enthusiasts, it might be a weekly or monthly upgrade

hmm listen to boss clawy he is very experienced in this

hehe Btul tu..... i sokong.... He help me alot also.... Got experience lol

yeah, well, i am just learning too. Like you.

I'm on the learning curve as well. Mr. kucingfight is my advisor and help me buy my rig after a long absence

@kucing fight

your student is clawy.. damn.. wah, kucing must be good liao..

He's an expert I have to say. I intended to build an AMD rig until he told me Intel overclocks better these days so here I am in the Intel camp (haven't been one since my Celeron 300A days).

i hope ill be expert like him one day

Yup. Mr Kucingfight is an expert alrite.... he even recommend me a gud mobo 2 OC wit....

yeah except perhaps the wrong move on Gemin

ayoo..i feel flattered jk jk... i myself aso on kaizen mode (continous improvement) . retiring OCer, try to keep updated with hardwares at a slower paced, replaced by other young bloods already . guess this is the purpose of having this thread here, to share

Sure Sifu kucing among one of the best enthusiast around la

Btw, mind asking here what will be the temperature limit for the E2160? I'd recommend below 60C on OC and 100% stress load but still wanna know until how far can the E2160 stands the heat.

@kucingfight

we need ppl like you here to teach us lor.. like me also, really noob, need to learn more and more from all the sifus here. but i try to help where i can la.

@sky

temp limit is at 80 degrees bro. You would not wanna see how far it can last.. well try to stop the load at 70 degrees. Anything after that is risky la, in the long run.. also not to forget to get 70 degrees, your Vcore must be pumped really high for that temp. So its a two way thing. Play with voltages below 1.50V as much as you can. If u wanna go beyond that u can, but on your own risk.

The E2160 was at 55C at idle , at 3Ghz with 1.375V it went on 80C at Orthos load.

@kucingfight n @clawhammer

4rom me.....

@sky
what stepping are you using bro? L2 ah? Hmm also what cooling? u told me that day about stock rite..

@rozz

no need so dramatic la jk jk good ppl, clawy and cat
