hehe.. if can sure want to push it to the limit..

erm... on stock HSF. but I see some of you guys can push to 3.0Ghz with stock HSF. yaya. I did tried with 1:1 divider. but still no luck.


aiks.. but at least you can push to 390*8. mine only 350*8.

this conroe L or e21xx series has known fsb wall issues.. as we can see, these processors has almost same performance as the c2d, besides the 1mb l2 cache.. but many e21xx processor failed to go past 400fsb at any multiplier.. whatever u set, it might just max at around 389fsb..

i've tried 3x e2160, 2x e2140 and only 2 ( 1x e2160, 1x e2140 M0) of them manage to go beyond 400fsb..

i think there is a reason why Intel decides to use pentium dual core name.. instead of c2d..

Hello all sifus, please take a look at my post and maybe can help me out here
thx

Try bios F4, because it seems to have better OCing capabilities, unless of course, you need the bios update to solve some bugs la

If you set your ram timings to 5-5-5-15, did you set it in bios or via windows using memset?

F4? now latest is F9. or should I try the latest? I set it in BIOS. any different if I set using memset?

i think trying diff bioses wouldnt help much in ur OCing. perhaps it will jus improve ur memory OCing, but not the CPU ocing itself

What are the other sub timings you set? other then the ram timings


FSB ocing lor...F3 gives higher FSB ocing but has issues with rams

yesterday hand itchy,
wanna try OC more with 2GB ram.
try to push to 380 instead of normal 350FSB, but keep restarting.
until now, seems something faulty. my rig keep restart, didnt even pass through POST.
anybody could help me?
dont think mobo kong since it's just a month old.

reset cmos.

Ok guys, suggest me a godly but cheap mobo. Fancy stuffs not important, as long as it has plenty of BIOS-based tweaking menu. I could care less about heatpipes on-board.

Gonna build a system for photo editing and video encoding, and of course with a healthy dose of OC.

done, reset by removing the battery and jumper,
still the same. how?

remove ram from ram slot, try one stick at a time?

seems that the cheap choices revolves around the P965 or P35 chipset boards.... either Gigabyte DS3 series or Abit P35-E will allow you to OC substantially... these board will cost you less than rm400... for sub 300 you could try the MSI 965 series.. but OC capability not really good...

P35 DS3
average chipset wall is 450 at stock volts

changed mobo to ASUS P5K-E.

not as easy to OC as on Biostar TP35D2-A7. on the A7, just change BUS speed and that's it.

this one ah. aihh. doesn't seem to be stable if i do just that. so have to adjust Vcore / Vdimm. not sure if that's the cause but it certainly helps. aihhh.....

why did u change? biostar not good?

Abit IP35-e (rm320) or Gigabyte P35-S3L, DS3, DS3L ( rm340, rm390, rm370)

Not a fan of Bio, Power ATX location is bad. I will opt for IP35-e, cool looking, Heatsink @ Mosfets, and it overclocks well.. 500fsb no prob

Couldnt cause a total non boot symptom

Biostar is good!

I just change it because the P5K-E is rich in of features (costs nearly 2x the biostar), comes with crossfire for me to test out more options and of course - i didn't pay a cent for it!

yes, test everything,
try using 1 stick on every single slot, still the same result.
wanna ask, my friend said it maybe caused by ram slot voltage short.
is there such thing?

stripped everyting,
my rig went naked last night, also try to connect only mobo, proc, RAM and psu,
still the same.. aihh..
dont tell me my mobo kong oledi..

as a really really last resort

take out the battery, cut off the power supply and go to sleep, when you wake up tomorrow, it might boot
