its aint apply for those higher multiplier rite? such e66 & e67series

Debatable statement. It also depends on the cooling, CPU rated speed ( a lower speed family tends to overclock more easily, ie a 1.8ghz default speed will overclock more compared to a 3.0ghz default rated speed of the same family) and also the 'batches' of the cpu, which isnt that important as most of them will overclock relatively well

Eh, got default 3 GHz Core processor. Got only X6800 that is 2.93GHz which stock multiplier can go to 3.9GHz. Im referring to Anandtech website. Its tru u need right mobo, psu, ram, and air cooler.

got my 2160 n 965P-S3, setting up the system now
damn i was noob enough to set up a new raid n lost all my data forgot it, a lesson
after settling all the software, OC will be done

some weird issue thou, i need to +1V to my ballistix in order to install windows, else blue screen will jus appear...hope it doesnt hurt

So how goes your OC?

Errr... +1V on DDR2? 1.8v + 1 = 2.8v???

havent start the OC yet, have to get my windows equipeed with essential software, so i can do my stuff while orthosing.

it's +0.1...

damn i m hitting FSB wall, i think, it stuck at 355FSB, wont boot at 360
i tried lower multiplier, same
+0.2V on chipset, +0.2V on FSB voltage
ram is running 4 4 4 12 2V 1:1 FSB
any idea?
spec below
E2160
965S3 F9(tried F8 F10 same result)
Crucial Ballistix PC5300
X1950pro
Audigy
Western 160GB RAID 0

and i found my system shut down everytime i change the MIB setting, n power on by itself back, issit normal?

Try playing with divider.

do u mean lower FSB, n higher mem speed?

that is normal shutdown restart again
my e2160 hit fsb wall@410fsb

It's normal for P965 chipset to power down n up after fsb manipulation in bios. This is "Global Reset" as it sets the proper NB strap speed

What cooling are u on? The NB is pretty toasty, perhaps adding a fan to it will help cool it down. u shouldnt need so much Vmch to hit 400fsb, +0.1v will do. And yes, agree with rlhc17, the E2XXX has fsb walls around 400fsb.

i m using thermaltake beetle, load around 63C @ 3.1ghz 1.45V
i already add a fan on the NB, n i touched it, it is onli warm
0.1V n 0.2V tried, same
tried 1 stick ram instead of 2, tried remove audigy, tried remove harddisk, and disable everything in bios(those self-adjust thingy)

Guess ur not a newbie in OCing. I'm running out of possibilities. Whack up the Vcore higher? cant think of other possibilities.. 3.2ghz still something 2 b proud off

i will try to up more vcore
if still cant, then i will try it on my brother DS3
i m expecting 3.4ghz from tis
but still, it is a lot faster than my previous processor, i can sense the difference

Added on June 21, 2007, 4:31 pmup vcore doesnt help, i guess i got a bad batch of 2160

i notice some weird thing, now i m running 1.45V, if i up the vcore to 1.46 or somthing higher, it wont boot.

here's a screenie of a customer's E2160's Super_PI... next customer only i OC cuz this 1 have to rush it out... tak sempat OC...


all in stock... PSU is 400W Std rated... wif 80GB SATA HDD... so can say TS did an excellent job...

superpc: try put vdimm 2.3v

@superpc, mayb try some bios mod or something. U can try reading around S3 tips and workarounds. Plenty of it. It will help a lot. Cant help much here as i haven got any experience with it

anybody sell this proc for bulk price??might get my 2nd budget rig...

have to wait my ram cooler to arrive first, the crucial is super damn hot, scare it will be spoilt.


okay~but there is no modded bios out there for S3 i think, all for DS3

thanks for help

Flashed the FP-IP9's BIOS to BETA 14 and guess what? It blinkin works, altho funnily, only at FSB's of 333Mhz and beyond with setting Unlinked. Otherwise tak boleh boot. Currently at stock volts 3.0Ghz priming away. Stock aluminium heatsink in use till can find good one second hand (Temps 73C according to sensor, which I don't trust). Max with the assistance of a Japan Servo 120mm blowing at the mobo was at 3.28Ghz 1.45v VCORE (Max temp 81C...ZOMFGBBQOHSHEET). Can do more I think. Guess either mobo limitation or RAM limitation
