i've drop my DRAM back to DDR2-667...
but not sure to pump up fsb right now...maybe later

I currently manage to do 432 x 8 on my E2140. Plenty of Vcore required tho'

Wah,so good chip !I now only run 362fsb due to temp and stability.

I'll try my friend's E2160 soon and see if it's really luck

E2140, E2160, E21x0..... hehehe juz messin around wit u..... JK

No worries, how's your OC so far? I hope the Hynix helped you out.

Ok lor..... Juz could not reach 2.8 yet.... so..... close.... Wat happen if i low down da DDR667-533??? Can increase FSB witout crash till 2.8???? Juz wondering.....

The RAM would definitely help you do 2.8Ghz but if you can't then it must be something else. What is your Vcore at 2.75Ghz?

CPU-Z, 1.232 at idle..... When running stress test, turun at 1.182....

No wonder you can't go 2.8Ghz Can you top up some Vcore?

How??? Been waiting 4 dat answer 4 a long....... time. My BIOS doesn't hav any adjuster 4 Vcore. Only stated there Fan speed laa... Cpu Freq, Temp, Vcore(but cannot do anything ) DRAM timming n other stuff.....

Ok, that's the sad part. If there are no adjustments then you'd probably need a motherboard with one. I'm using Gigabyte DS3L which is +/- RM300 range and performs pretty well. I'm currently doing 8 x 433 now so you wouldn't go wrong with it.

Sob....sob...sob.... My MoBo does not worth 200..... N now, gotta find $$$ mann..... Lets say if get any Gigabyte MoBo range 300..... Ok laa...??? Gotta get a new MoBo.... Luv OCing.... N, got no software dat can use 4 altering Vcore???

I'm afraid there are no such softwares but there might be voltage modifications which involves soldering. I wouldn't recommend that to you and yes, get the DS3L or those DS3? series from Gigabyte of your liking. I believe most of it would get you above 3Ghz easily.

Finally got my Dual-Core rig up and running

Specs:
- Intel E2140 L2 (VID 1.325v)
- AsRock ConRoe1333-D667
- 2x 1GB Team Group Value PC-5300
- Enermax FMAII 460W

Guess that's all. Just a simple rig to replace my aging one.

Did 2.8GHz(350MHz FSB) on stock VCore, probably the on-board graphics crapping out instead of the FSB wall Probably getting an E2160 was the better idea since 9x 333MHz will easily net it 3GHz instead

Here's the CPU-Z validation link



SuperPI 1M at 22.187s.

did your BSEL ah?

Yeah... forgot to mention i did my BSEL mod to get rid of the PCI-E at 120MHz when clocked to 266MHz FSB. Guess what i used? Kitchen Aluminium foil! Took quite a few attempts to get it right though, and a tab of glue to fix it in place, tested with a multimeter and in the socket it goes, boots up at 266MHz FSB like a charm

Now it's running 350MHz FSB with PCI-E at 120MHz, like mentioned by AsRock, PCI-E is at 115MHz when clocked at 333MHz FSB. Guess PCI lock don't seem to work. Even at stock speed(without BSEL), changing the PCI to Async will cause the mobo to not boot, checked in other forums and seems like it's a known "problem"

congrats, looks like the foil does the trick rather than expensive defogger

Well... the foil have a very high conductivity since well... it's real aluminium, just really really thin. Took a few times for me to get it done right, well... me and my chubby fingers

It's folding now, 58°C load on both cores from CoreTemp, using a Xigmatek S963 for cooling and some shitty thermal paste that was bundled with the Alpha PAL8045 HSF moons ago.

ur on Coretemp 0.95/96? u should -15C from that. For L2 E2XXX, thermal junction is 85C, not 100C. Coretemp 0.94 will show the correct temp
