Is it? I thought Super PI is more of an overall test for system stability

But then again... My CPU load is also 100%, just like when I'm running OCCT

well i believe it depends also on the instruction that a test program gives to the cpu that creates such a load. hmm.

anyone used abit ip35-pro ?
is it a good oc board?

yeap its good for its price

dont waste your money on pro, ip35-e is good enough a board compared to the pro series, only short change is the raid function and solid caps. Otherwise, OC capabilities are rather similar.

Wondering here guys, buy turning ON the C1E and Intel Speed Step technology, would it automatically change the FSB and multiplier?

I always thought it only turn down the multiplier to save energy. Cause yesterday, i tried turning it on and when i launched my trusty CoreTemp, its showing me that i am running at 400 * 6 (2.4Ghz). My original clock was supposed to be 300 * 8 (2.4Ghz).

Then, i tried running extensive program and the clock went back to the 300 * 8...

Anyone here facing multiplier lock processor? Offtopic: My friend's E4500 is multiplier locked, cant oc more fsb.

hmm bro, your e2140 has a range from 6-8* so by turning on the EIST and C1E, u r not changing the FSB, but the multiplier. But somewhat i believe coretemp can show some buggy and weird results

C1E and EIST changes the multiplier not the FSB

I don't think they will change the FSB, only the multiplier

C1E = Lowers voltage on idle
EIST = Lowers multiplier on idle

Basically both are energy saving modules. I turn them off on my boards as i'm running Folding@Home full time which defeats the purpose of those features anyway

I am using it now and it is good.The i/o clear cmos is a life saver

@all
anyone here can recommend a board that can easily do 500Mhz on FSB?

Hello guys and girls. I am vouching for an add for super pi results separately or together with the previous thread of super pi so we can do some stable benchmarks and post 1M super pis. So gear up and lets OC guys. with stability of course..!! and also feel free to ask lots and lots of questions! here!

p35ds3 does 515fsb, ask uzairi

apa la, ur board is good can do more then 500fsb la ._.

Yeah, p35ds3 with F12 bios can reach 515mhz.

Gigabyte boards automatically disable your OC settings if it can't boot, even easier And so far, it has saved me lots of hassle

Same here.... Anything wrong, clearkan.... settle...

ABIT board does that too but on top of that, you get to clear CMOS from the IO ports.

but cannot la, i dont know whether its the revision of the board or the bios. i just cant go beyond it. Anyone here knows which bios revision to use for the 500Mhz Fsb?

Did you try with lower multi to get higher fsb ? I dont think there's any problem to hit 500mhz. NB overheat ?

Which is why i felt kinda weird when CoreTemp is showing my FSB to be 400 instead of the 300 that i set. Maybe its the buggy CoreTemp anyway since i turn them off again...

LOL...Same case with my Asus mobo. You will have a Clear CMOS button at the IO board and it will auto reset the setting if overclocking fails...

nop its definitely not NB overheating coz i have tried the same with CoolerMaster BLueIce2 and a big big cpu cooler, with my previous e6750 and its still the same. Now i am shifting attention to the BIOS revisions. BIOS revisions do have a certain relationship with OCing the FSB but no one here is using the IP35-e so its difficult la.
