The abit IP35e is good..i'm wondering y some of em mentioned it's sucky..perhaps they do not know the way around the board

or maybe its just me...i cannot run 400FSB on Ip35-E stock voltage donno why.....

and for those who with 2180 can your proc reach 3.2Ghz and how much vcore it need....my proc cannot run 3.2 even with 1.4vcore...

GTG

not all chip can do 400fsb on stock voltage, even it's a m0 chip.

mine (m0) need 1.4725v, what say u?

so your point is what holding my mobo to reach 400fsb was my proc...?

and your m0 1.4725 it to reach what? 3.2Ghz or 400fsb?

it doesn't matter 8*400 or 7*400, it takes lotsa voltage to run 400fsb, which i found pointless as performance gained is not much, but u gains lotsa heat...

e21x0 are known to have this fsb wall issue, but not all thou...

so i can possibly do 400fsb with higher vcore is tat what you sayin..??

GTG

whut?

ya i know iam noob....

GTG

Well....... u r not alone...... Cuz i m too....
saw my sig??? MoBo problem, got stuck there.......

rozz how far u proc can go...try 3.2Ghz see how much vcore it take..

Currently now i manage 2 get it running @ 2.8ghz..... cannot go higher..... crash...... sum xpert say is my MoBo n RAMs cannot take it........ Vcore @ 1.232 (if i m not mistaken). Temp running freakin high..... 1@ 82C 2@above 85C (full load)...... Flame on....... Wait till I get a proper board, rams n cooler...... then OC it.....

Actually almost everything can be overclocked. It's a matter of where the limit is. For example those Corsair Value RAM may be stucked at 350Mhz and Hynix 400Mhz and Micron D9's 450Mhz (just as example).

Same goes for your board, CPU and the rest

My chip is really a bad chip.Well,your millage may vary when oc.I can't even go 37x stable,maybe due to my very crappy psu.Next month really need to hot one corsair VX450W and see how.My mobo is Abit IP35 Pro and ram is Crucial leh.So you get the idea,oc have a lot of factor and is very luck dependent.

Good luck but new PSU might not give you a better OC if at the first place it isn't the one at fault

Mine, i juz increase da CPU frequency n lower down da rams 4rom 667-533. Then can reach 2.8 or not stuck at 2.6 lor..... Correct??? Not much things can alter in my BIOS.... Most of it is lock.....

i guest you board holding you back....find a decent p35 board a u should be ok...

Added on December 31, 2007, 12:36 pmis there anybody else with e2180...i need to know how much vcore it need to run 3.2ghz / 3.6Ghz...

Tq in advance...

hey punish... i tot ur cpu cant achieve 400fsb bcoz of temp? or u oledi change cpu cooler?

i choose e2180 cuzz i tot with the extra multiplier i can go further but sadly i was wrong....

GTG

Vcore need to test yourself one

Punish, u sure E2180 is a good OC chip?

What I read around, E2140/2160 do perform well in OC but not E2180.
IP35-E been very convincing, thus I would say your CPU already reach the limit.

P35 board should do 500fsb or near 500fsb, so what actually holding you back?

Temperature? CPU? motherboard bios?
