ur E2140 already godlike ....up 2 ur budget...e66 is a gud investment although its old a bit...dunt buy e63 la...multi x7..later u regret...value buy still E2160 with x9...

Get yourself a Penryn la!

yup yup...
4ghz in no time....

penryn...thats a huge step...

huge step??
stick to penryn C2D sudah...
clock higher than E2140 what??
me also waiting for dat proc price to drop like hell...
but neva know when will dat happen..

Waiting for E8 to drop price? Maybe wont drop so fast lor, such a powerful processor.

it wont drop until new architecture technology release...even now the 65nm proc still at the same price...how come 45nm will reduce price...

My first time OC my E2160....

2.7G fsb300x9 load 64C with Prime....

Stock heatsink, the small one... normal setting only...

Wanna try to get 3Ghz after this.. with stock setting also...

Btw from my CPU-Z reading the ram timing is 5-5-5-14... on bios is 15, is this normal? @@

I am new to OC'ing...got my E2160 2 weeks back so i paired it with IP35-E...trying to learn oc'ing...still very noob actually..
I need more guidance frm u guys to push further...using ballistix tracer 667 2GB

hey there, welcome!

change ur memory divider to 1:1 i am not sure what its called in abit's bios. maybe someone else can clarify.

where got huge jump from e21* to penryn. what else is there to OC in between e21* and e8*?

e6* maybe? but penryn can reach 4ghz!

@BigBlock
start off with the 1:1 divider, dont go on default. Use the softmenu in Abit. I believe u know that. And update your BIOS to BIOS rev14. I can guide you through if you want. Not to forget that, you can actually do your first step by putting 333*9 and doing 1:1 with your FSB:DRAM ratio in your Abit SoftMenu.

@PEYN
thats nice man, good OC, but try to keep that load times to 60 degrees coz ur only playing with 300Mhz. With stock i believe u can do 3.0Ghz easy.

@Flattie
Thanks bro.. well, i am really interested in the Wolfsdale a.k.a Penryn with 6MB cache. BUT no fun, coz theres no purpose for me to use that just at the moment. Ill only buy something cheaper and maybe a conroe instead(thats why e6). This baby of mine now is allendale.

Honestly guys, INtel will keep the prices of 45nm lower than 65nm due to sales tactics. Thus u will definitely have wolfsdale to be cheaper than conroes. BUt we just have to patient. Intel wanst to kill off the e67,68 series la.. so sayang!

But u guys know la, me is BUDGET OCer, still noob using Air Cooling

Ratio 1:1 is always best right? Well i wanna see how much this proc can go without too much vcore as i wanna use this 24/7 but half the time this pc will be dloading torrent so my target is at 3Ghz only. What is the safest max vcore i should use?

Added on March 4, 2008, 3:49 pmYeah my BIOS is not at 14 as yet..pls guide me bro

333*9 is around 3.0Ghz rite. Well, that i believe u can achieve with Stock Vcore due to your Motherboards native strapping at 333Mhz which is 333*4=1333Mhz. You will understand this later on when u r used to the mechanics of the P35.

Added on March 4, 2008, 3:53 pmactually, dont worry about the stupid bios. Just play with your stock on everything and dont be scared of BSODs or anything, its a part of the OCERS life.

Since u r at it. Download Super Pi mod1.5 XS i think and also get Orthos or OCCT but for you we will stick to OCCT. So download this two stuff

1. Super Pi
2. OCCT

Ok bro i will try this...and is it a must if i have 2 update the bios to BIOS 14 for better OC? i dunno how to do it thru windows also and i read in some forums many ppl hav mem issues that hang the flash process thru windows leading to BIOS kaput..

no no not at the moment coz ur still new with this stuff, for future reference remember this

Bios 10-11 - Excellent for OCing. Double post
Bios 12 - the crappiest. Double post
bios 13 - crap. Double post
bios 14 - same like the 10-11. No Double posting
bios 15 - a bit buggy. Everythings alright but startup is a bit F up.

Haha think i'l leave it for now.I dun mind the double post I just booted up at 333*9 the first boot i had BSOD at std vcore so i bumped the vcore to 1.345 and its ok now. Devider 1:1
I tried to run ORTHOS system restart after 7 sec...so weak my proc or is it the BIOS

Guys,i have a situation....

My E2160(M0 stepping) doesnt seem to be overclock well.....

My rig:

E2160--->3.04Ghz(8x380)--->not suppose to be 3.4Ghz???
Ip35-E bios 14

IP35-E has one 8-pin 12V atx(i'm using 4-pin),one 4-pin molex connecter,one 24-pin connecter
I found that if i unplug 4-pin molex connecter i cant even POST at (9x340=3060).
If i plug-in then stable at 340x9 @ 380x8 at 1.50V(YES!!!! 1.50V )

I just want to know is my PSU limit my OC? or CPU FSB wall?
i'm using cheap cheap icute 450w PSU.
Got 8800GT 512mb(720/1800/2006)+-100w?
2 HDDs,1 DVD R/W...

I think not the RAM limit coz i cant get 9x380mhz but can stable at 8x380mhz.1:1 ratio ofcoz.

Bro 380*8 is 3040Ghz
Actually ure supposed to use the 8pin connector for power mah? Last time boards 4 pin better u use a real power 450 W at least sure can power ure board...

If not CPU limit then sure can go 9x380=3.42Ghz....
I just want to know is 4-pin or 8-pin will affect OC? Or no enough power will affect OC?

make sure when update dont i mean DONT ever use ur OC state while updating bios!!!!!
default ur PROC SPEED then baru update ok???
