okie. hope i can sell my mobo and proc fast...

what r u selling? anything nice or not? hmm just pm me the link.

Offtopic: naaa... just my mobo and proc. thats all.
others, i decided to keep.

M0 got 2 batch,one bad and one good(Early M0).My example can't even hit 380+fsb.

hmm so how does someone choose? the earlier batch and current batch.. ? Me noob

same here, my E2140 M0 stepping cant reach 390FSB even pumped more than 1.4v.

mine need 1.56v to reach 400*8 = 3200mhz, i think is later batch also

Hrmm... How bout mine??? Izzit MO or not.... I got it around last 4 months....

Well, something went really really weird today after installing the new CPU Cooler yesterday. This morning, i restarted my PC, turn off Intel Speed Step and C1E as recommended and rebooted the system to run at 380 * 8 (3.04Ghz). Everything ran fine but after a while, BSOD appears and system restarted. Its still running at stock Vcore as i did not change any other features.

Turned it back to 350 * 8 and rebooted. Everything is fine again until i ran CoreTemp. Suprisingly, its showing my system to be idling at 55c Is it even normal? Is CoreTemp stable & accurate on Vista32bit?

Tried load temp and it went almost 63c. Ok, ambient temperature was really hot today (i was sweating like crazy) but would it go that far?

I was afraid, so i turned everything back to normal stock speed, fan at 100% but coretemp is still recording 52c. Bios was showing around 45c as well. More important is, my mobo temperature is showing over 60c. Is it ok for the mobo temperature to be that high?

Try checking with CPU-Z. My E2140 is M0 stepping and i bought it less than 1 month ago...

Well...then its time 2 increase da VCore 4rom stock 2 higher.... Bout ur temp increasing, i m not so sure..... i can giv u sum help but not so sure it might work..... Wait n c 4 advices 4rom other expert.....

1st check ur cooler contact.... Izzit properly fix.....
2nd, is make sure ur air circulation in da casing is properly exhaust n inhaust....hehehehe.....
Lastly, 63 @ full load is ok.....

N i think ur MoBo can take da heat......

i think mobo temp is hot, try mount the asus heatpipe fan onto the heatpipe see got help onot... what core temp version u using? if 0.96 its reporting higher temp, wc also idle 50+, if 0.95.4 then its normal also as stock cooler + OC. this proc can go till 85c i think... so below 70c should be alrite for core temp.. try increase vcore if bsod...

Well, i dare not to touch the Vcore though. Worried it might fried anything..LOL..YOu know, nooby OCer. What range is safe for Vcore?

CPU Cooler wise, i did it the X-way like what adviced by people here. Not sure about the contact but everything fits nicely. Does MX-2 needs any curing time as my previous AS-5 on stock cooler do need some time to reach below 40c. And i did a rice grain method on the MX-2. Is that the cause of the problem?

Circulation wise, i could do nothing better already. I already took out the front panel of my A10 which i was worried blocking the airflow but still, everything looks the same. I did not try full load at a long time but i did run it at 100% for almost 10seconds only and its already showing 63c. LOL...

Edited :


lichyetan, thanks for the tips there. I think i am using the latest version of CoreTemp. Was worried that it might not be compatible with Vista 32bit though...

I did not mount the heatpipe fan though. Thought its only useful when using WC..Will try it out later..LOL..

@aka..
i am not clear... too many words for the day lol i think try getting the latest core temp and hmm the other issue could be that the grip is too tight between the base and proc. MX2 needs curing time. But the temp is pretty high....

@akachester

Dun worry..... juz dun increase above 1.5v.... Like mine, 1.36@ 3.0ghz.... safe. No BSOD, overheating also.... + mine is at stock HSF @63 only.... Try increase 1.30v 1st.... if still got BSOD, up 2 1.35v.... Be sure 2 monitor ur temp also as increasing VCore can increase da temp 2.... Evry slight increase boot it up n run stress test..... Keep on do da same steps if symptom continues.....ok

@aka

i thought u r not noob haha. jk jk. Just monitor the temps for two days and see whether its the same. If it is then u would have to refix it again.. but less tighter. By the way bro, what cooler are you using, is it like stated in your sig.

Well, yes, the temperature is pretty high. Surprisingly, during my times on Stock Cooler, the E2140 at 300 * 8 is still showing about 35c only at idle and around 43c at load. After taking out the HSF, and applied AS5, things went bad. Idle went around 45c and did not try load. After a fews days of curing, things went back well at 39c.

Now, after changing the HSF again with MX-2, its showing this temp and its scaring me..LOL..

Thanks for the tips there bro. I will try it out later. At least it seems i did get a good batch of E2140 here.

LOL..I am still a noob. Not knowing too much about OCing and stuff Thats what i am currently doing, monitoring the temperature and see how thing goes. Heat are pouring out at the exhaust fans as we speak. LOL...

You mean seating the HSF too tight will also cause problem? Yes, i am using the Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro 7 here...

@aka.

Well u can give curing a chance( about 200 hours, on jk jk).. and also check the seating.. coz i have done the same with AC Freezer before and a tight seating can in fact cauze issues. But i dont know whether its for a fact or not.

there's no such things as '2' batches of M0. it's jus boils down to ur luck in getting one. In general, M0 would overclock better than L2

again, it's ur luck, either a dud or good M0

Probably, 3.08ghz is da max on default vcore, u need 2 pump more to scale higher. Which Coretemp version are you on, the 0.96 has screwed temp

Thanks kucingfight. I am most probably on the 0.96 CoreTemp. So which one do you recommend which is more accurate?

0.95.4
