@andyx517, u also need luck. Not everyone here were lucky enuf to get 3GHz on stock vcore.

i thought E2160 easier to reach 3ghz than E2140?

Get the 2140 instead.. cheaper.




works



works well



Not sure ... Enlight 350W here running 2140 at 3.2GHz, 8600GTS at 700/2100, 80GB HD and DVD-RW drive.

technically yes..the E2160 has better probability to reach higher speeds than E2140, whether L2 or M0, but it stil boils down to luck. U can see some of us here did 3.6ghz with E2160

mm what if i downgrade it with 8500gt DDr3? does it consume lower voltage?


sorry im kinda noob

Presumably... this 8600GTS has external power connectors,whereas most 8500GT don't. This alone probably implies that they draw a lot less power

hey guy , any one can help me fill in the blank .. thx

2140 M0 = SLA93 L2 = ??????
2160 M0 = SLA8Z L2 = SLA3H
2180 M0 = ?????? L2 = ??????

I think my new DDRII 800MHz will arrive tomorrow woot
Will try push fsb to the MAX at stock volt, now already at 3.33GHz with lots of extra fans, Those who has the passive cooling on the new P35 board, watch out for ur system temp (Northbridge heatsink is really really hot, best tested with your own hands) Southbridge was ok

can discribe your rig?

here u go, you can refer to my post here

ohoh, 12 more posts to get my 3rd star

haa..isit typo ah? i only see 2.2ghz from ur screen..no 3.33ghz?

no, it's photochopped
kidding..
the enhanced speed step dunno how to off from bios, didn't work when i tried
That's why my multiplier dropped to x6 only
anyone knows how to disabled EIST in my mobo? but it's good also cos not stress too much make temp increase

guys what is the highest clock E2140 can reach?

Most E2140s wall around 400. Actually with air cooling most dual cores are probably limited to somewhere around 400-500 fsb.

aiyaaa.. RAM not arrived yet.. how how??
Can't test more OC lorr

LOL.. I guess you have to wait then

mm any value rams should be able to do 450mhz no prob ... u don need some better rams to test the limit of ur CPU oc

any asus user here? d bios is too rich for me, dunno how to set... wats nb bootstrap...

hopefully d new board can push my crappy 2140 a 'lil further...

Yep that's true, u can set ram multiplier to be lower
I'm still hitting FSB of 375 only with my new RAMS (will return current ram to my company ) and I think that was not really stable, Up my Vcore one step a bit just now and pc just can't get thru bios even
Suspecting maybe mobo now, but didn't add anymore voltage to any of them cos I'm still on stock cooling

Still am happy at 85% OC'ed, CPU Idle at 45'C ~ 48'C @ stock cooling

My KVR with unknown chipset earlier do not like after 834 which is 412 but still is good to check CPU OC potential

wanna downgrade
no ppl sell me E2160
