1) As you like, u want to run the ram at lower speed or OC it.
2) Who said so? go for the higher multiplier for higher clockspeed.
3) Well, I push my E2160 straight to 300fsb. lol

urm actually there is a misconception on the bolded part, higher fsb = higher memory bandwidth from processor to rams, thus lifting the bottleneck

so in effect if you do a superpi bench

400x8 would be slightly slower then 457x7 in the test, and normally it stabilizes the pc (from all of my ocing ventures )

hey guys !

i am now overclocking my E2160 (stock 1.8Ghz) to 3.2Ghz and using 2 x 1Gb Kingston HyperX PC6400 (800Mhz) ram !

to get a stable overclock of fsb:mem ratio, i Underclock my memory under stock speed !!!

i would like to ask
1. any problem if i underclock my memory? why ?
2. should i increase my memory voltage? how much ?

All helps are apprecieted !!! im so happy i can find this thread !!!

Heyya!

1.) there is absolutely no problem what so ever if u underclock, but why do it? ur are wasting ur money no?
2.)you only increase it if u want to overclock it, and increasing voltages is to stabilize an overclock

and why would you want to underclock ur rams?

i think he trying to say that he underclock by doing 1:1 ratio..is it?or..

why my cpuz detected my multiplier x6 only but my bios was detected x8

proc:2140

btw what's the majority highest bus speed for stock vcore

do i need to increase my ram voltage?

sorry for noob question this is my 1st time oc

currently i'm running 280 x 8

Yes fesick ! im trying to do 1:1 ratio to get the best out of my overclocking !! thanks !!!

bro.... i don think ur RAM need tat much voltage...?

averagely it does 333x8 for e2140 minimum

the 6x multi is because you have the power saving feature enabled which is C1E and EIST, it drops the multi to save power and thus producing less heat when ur pc is in idle or running applications with lower processing requirements

yup 8x333 is a good start.

if you're going 8x400 - please monitor the temperature, it gets hot after 3ghz IMO.

Guys, thanks for the input.
Anyhow, my final result is this
Multipler x8
FSB 300
Final Speed 2.4ghz
Ram ratio I dropped to 2, (so from upping the FSB, it raise from 400 - 600)

Idling at around 40c (did nothing with the stockfan except slap on some arctic5)

I can't set the ram ratio at 3.33, because when I raise the FSB, and the ram breaches the 800 point, it will definitely crash. Is that normal?
I'm using cheapo kingston 667.

Anyhow, Im quite satisfied. When I bought my 24" benq, I was pissed cause I couldnt play 1080p movies smoothly. Tried to play the same movie at factory 1.6ghz, and still as slow as my AMD64 2ghz. Clock that baby to 2.4 and its smooth as butter.

imagine clocking it to 3ghz+ wouldnt that be like lubricant? LOL

So is that necessary to turn off the C1E? i already turned off EIST.

Yeah.
But even with 25-30% cpu usage, after an hour, it seems to idle at 47c..fan speed around 1870 rpm. Is this considered hot or just the limitation of the cheapo stockfan?
Edit: I'm monitoring it through the EasyTune5 that comes with gigabyte.

@Doggystyle
dont use easytune, coz that monitors the middle of the core and not the hottest part so ur hottest part is about 52 or so...and set the fan to max pls if u intend to oc on stock cooling...


use lavalys or speedfan instead of easytune =/



@kengkhim
well it depends la, do u want ur processor to be full throttle 24/7 (use more power and generate more heat?) or do u want it to save some pwoer and lower the heat

ic thanks so i think i'll stick with C1E enable

thanks for the help

planning to get E2160 what motherboard is suitable for it and good overclockable and not so expensive

how about same as mine gigabyte p35 ds3

yes i highly recommedn p35 ds3 its under rm400 now, and its highly ocable, unless ur the extreme type of fella doing phase and cascade or LN2 then i recommend p35 dq6


@kenghim
if u have C1E enabled, my as well enable EIST together mar

haha..we same oh..currently just using 2.4ghz..but ur temp bit high than me..cuz mine on idle for both core only 45c n 42c..
