I must have the wierdest E2160 ever produced...

Spec:
E2160
GeminII
P35-DS3R F6
D9GKX
7900GT
Strider560watt
whatever result i post here is orthos 8hrs stable.. with some problem though

everything stock until 2.5gig (278x9), can boot 2.6gig at 1.35v, and 1.375 orthos 8hr stable..
then straight away 3.0gig (334x9) bootable at 1.400v but need 1.500v to orthos stable 12hrs..

HOWEVER.. here's the kicker..

anything above 2.5gig i CANT POST into bios after restart for second time.. the bios will force to default by itself before i have to load my oc setting to boot at certain speed again!!! or i have to use easytune5 to oc it

so i have to stay happy at 2.5gig.. CRAP..

anything above 2.5gig is orthos STABLE for at least 8hrs BUT CANNOT BOOT AFTER RESTART!! CRAP...

Ok.. updates... now i get the new P35-DS3R mobo.. the old one i rma due to loose power connector .. and now i can boot 3.0gig at 1.3875v and never fail to restart again and currently run orthos to it.. maybe my mobo was the culprit here and not the proc.. and currently on bios F3...

will update later

Added on October 9, 2007, 4:02 pmupdate again.. orthos fail after 5 minutes now upping the vcore at 1.4v.. and orthos.. and no more restart failure i really think the mobo was the culprit

erm... now my E2160 (bought from kucingfight) is stable at 3gig@1.4375v.. quite high for 3gig.. will aim for 3.4-3.6gig after raya... 3.2 is bootable at 1.4375v but fail orthos after two hours.. everything else is at normal setting.. maybe i need to increase fsb and mch voltages after this

what mobo do u use and what vcore u enter in bios.. 1.4375v perhaps? have you run orthos test for at east 8hrs?? erm.. good oc though.. just try bump the vcore a little bit until 1.5v (with good aircooling of course ) and try to set at 3.2 or above.. goodluck

get a good cooling bro TT BT will do.. GeminII also good.. so does Xigmatek S1283.. Zalman 9700NT is quite good.. or Thermalright 120 Ultra Extreme... just choose one...

I've tried P35-DS3 and somehow the board maxed out at 485fsb DS3R able to reach 520fsb

err.. that with E6850 not E2xxx or E4xxx

change the bigtyphoon fan to a more powerful fan.. either NMB, Delta or ADDA.. try to look at 0.5A power rating or above.. erm.. 0.5A power rated fan is enuff laa.. sweet spot for performance vs noise

not necessary...

i've encounter many times OCCT pass for 1hr or two hour (costum set) but failed orthos after 7-8hour

and my E2160 at 3.2gig is fail me after 11hr of orthos!! so i think i have to bump the vcore until 1.475 if anything more than 1.475 i just happy to use 3.0gig only..

3.2gig @ 1.4625v orthos costum (up to 4096kb FTT lengt and 5min time.. costume from blend actually ) - failed after 11hrs++
and over 20hrs stable at 1.475vcore..

so i just happy to run it at 3.0gig @ 1.45

erm.. i run orthos cpu stress for 24 hrs first at stock before try any oc attempt..

i run 4096fft priority8 on purpose.. the proc is 3.0gig orthos and occt stable at 1.4375v but when play games, sometimes it hang.. sometimes it restart.. sometime bluescreen.. that's why i decided to increase the vcore until 1.45v and now everything stable.. not yet finish fine-tuning but priority now is to finish my assignments first and until my last paper final exam, i wont touch anything..

erm.. my own rule of thumb.. (my own ler.. not others..) if u use hi-end aircooling, then dont afraid to bump until 1.45v... if u use hi-end wc, then just go for 1.5-1.55.. anything higher i wont run it at 24/7.. of course, however, at your own risk

for value ram.. try to look at Kingston with either Hynix FP-Y5 or ELPIDA chipset.. but if you found Crucial Value Ram, grab that instead!!

your iGreen cant handle it?? no lah.. u use AW9D-Max rite??.. u can consider lucky to get pass 350fsb on AW9D.. my last try cant pass 350fsb stable.. that's the max..

oh.. so how high fsb that reviewer get from the board??

PGV.. ask the previous owner if he use clockgen to oc the board.. my previous xperience (mase board nih baru kuar ler ) if oc thru bios, the highest fsb i can get is 350fsb (damn stable) time tuh bios lame.. then terus jual..

if he use clockgen then it is possible to clock beyond 400fsb dont forget to ask which clock generator setup he used..

oh ye... add vcore maa.. dont afraid

hah.. looking at your cpuz voltage, it suggest that u put at least 1.52vcore!! probably more than that are u sure u only put 1.45vcore in bios?? what is your ram and the timing?? ah.. dont mess with the timing,, either put it at 4-4-4-12 or 5-5-5-15.. kingston value ram with hynix FP-Y5 mostly can do DDR2-900 at 1.9-2.0v with no problem at all.. some of them can easily pass DDR2-1000 at only 2.0-2.1v..

PGV.. and one other thing.. have you passed the orthos blend at least 8-hr stable??

erm.. jgn taruk voltage byk2... for some reason (my case ler) those hynix FP-Y5 do not like high voltages.. not like micron.. 2.1vdimm is max.. but most FP-Y5 can do DDR2-900 at no problem.. mine even can reach DDR2-1000 at +0.3v at 5-5-5-15.. and DDR2-900 4-4-4-12 at same vdimm...

betul ke hang taruk 1.45vcore kat bios,, psl kat cpuz nmpk cm tinggi semacam ajer..

yup.. orthos ngan prime 95 tuh lebey kurang same je..
