not just cpu cooler, as u go higher even NB cooling is important. Most vital is to use the Lowest Vcore possible for the clock, of course stable. For helping with cooling.

My WC will arrive maybe between Monday or Friday..... Yup, i know.... things can get more interesting.... Dats y i can't wait...

Thanks 2 ur Hynix chips

Added on January 19, 2008, 9:55 pmWell then, juz hav 2 wait for my WC 2 arrive.... Then will try Oc it higher.... maybe above 3.4....

Juz curious laa.... no 1 else is running da E2180 kaa...??? I c most is 2140 n 2160.... If got 218, post laa sum result. Wanna c....

Oo.. yea, 1 more thing, my vcore is @ 1.36v=3.0ghz. Wats my limits if i wanna OC higher??? Bcuz if below 1.35v @ 3.0, i get BSOD...... N i takut might blow things up....

Added on January 19, 2008, 10:15 pmYup,getting 1. C my sig. N i luv those TX-2

Seems like with TX-2 and aluminium Stock Intel HSF you manage to get 63C on load. That makes me think will I get the same results using the E2160 + aluminium Stock Intel HSF too?

It was at 55C on idle. OC it until 3Ghz and it went 83C

Hahaha...... get 1 lar... not expensive wat, chaeper than MX-2.... Wow.... 83c on full load @3ghz Wats da VCore???

Tried to boot my system today with 350 * 8 (2.8Ghz) and 1053Mhz 4-4-4-12 today and it works..

Load temperature is about 45c on MX-2 and AC7Pro. Is that good? Is there any program i could use to test the stability at this setting?

If it is full load @ 45, then it ok..... If u run a stress test, then u will know wheather its stable or not.....

How bout taking it to 3.0ghz..... Evrything seems ok.....

Yeah, surprisingly high coz the idle temperature already high at 55C. I was just wanna banish the aluminium Stock Intel HSF until saw that you manage to get yours with TX-2 with a very good temperature I must say.

The VCore was at 1.375V so it considered as high too. Willing to try the TX-2 and hope it'll help reduce the temperature significantly. Btw, mind asking here how is your airflow inside the casing. The one I'm testing was kinda awful as only have intake at the side and exhaust at the rear. Both are 80mm and are not performance casing fans so the CFM is rather poor.

hah.... exzactly da same like mine..... side in rear out..... But both r very strong airflow....

hmm airflow plays a huge role for cooling and even a case closed can increase temps by 3 degrees lol. This is what i faced. So when i OC i open the side panel and do it.

Aluminium is ALumimium. Even if u used tx-2, the temp difference wont significantly improve your performance of the cooling.

Then, i will try leave my side panel open....... N c da result...

Guys, I tried to overclock my dual core cpu from 2.2Ghz to 2.67Ghz (800Mhz FSB) (20% OC). I'm using Asus' P5KPL Intel G31 mobo with maximum of 1333Mhz FSB and 1Gb Kingston DDR2 RAM running at 667Mhz. I'm using a standard cooling system. Any suggestion on what's the maximum speed for me to OC using this normal cooling system?

Try to OC your CPU without increasing the VCore. Get a stable speed and monitor the temperature. Gradually increase your bus speed and VCore if it can't boot. Again monitor your temperature. There's no fix speed on stock cooling. It depends on many things such as ambient, airflow and so on. The best is not to exceed 65C on 100% load test. Then you'll be fine with your system.

gee..
thanks much for the advice..

Added on January 20, 2008, 11:33 amOne more thing.. If I really do success to OC it very high.. I'm afraid there'll be a long term effects? Wouldnt it?

Long term in 10 years? Maybe. But I assume you ain't going to use the same processor for more than 3 years. If you monitor and maintain your CPU and system properly, then you shouldn't have to worry bout it. Only if it is running at really high temperature then it'll damage the processor.

Hmm.. thanks

cooling plays a vital role in longevity of the processor, also remember that try not to push beyond 1.5V so u prevent frying lol.

Guys, which one OC better 2140/60/80.
price its all okie with me. Thinking to get 2100 series and buy x38 or x48 and later buy quaddies.

well a tough one.. though i would really stick to the choice of stepping though. 2140 is great, so is 2160. since i believe some of us here have a database of the two procs above. NOte sharing would be good if you bought the same. Just make sure its M0 stepping

so in a way 2180 should be okie as the multiplier is more as long its m0?
sorry not so good with intel, my las intel was e6300.

yeah the stepping is essential for overclocking. I think E2180 is a confirmed M0. i am just like you too always learning!
