how much you selling ah?

anyway it's not Pentium Core2Duo. <=-- it's just Pentium. it's based on Conroe but not sold under the Core2Duo name.

YES it is. it's based on Conroe (E6300 and the likes) architecture BUT with stripped down stuff and all.

E4xxx series is on Allendale architecture.

notchet arrive. probably will get to play it on er.......Thursday / Friday. assuming work don't catch up on me. I still have 2 articles to finish and a bunch of projects to settle.

got my E2140 already!!! now it's just a matter of setting it up.

Core2Duo Conroe architecture la my fren.

damn motherboard. Biostar TP35D2-A7 freakin' annoying.

it goes by 3:5 F:R ratio by default. so imagine how far can i OC la. aihhh.

well, i reach 2ghz so far and you know what - i'm damn suprised that my KVR DDR2 667 can do 416mhz! yup!! that's DDR2 832 already!

i haven't memtest or whatever la but seriously, if don't touch 2.6ghz then i'm really not happy la.

WTH my DDR2 667 is now running at DDR2 916!!

EDITED : btw due to the above RAM limitation (stupid 3:5 FSB RAM Ratio) i'm now running 2.2ghz.

oops. 3dmark06 will hang when speed too high. oh well, darn. drop down the speed to 2080mhz damn ratio is still at 3:5.

i thought easy, Intel chipset. plop in the thing will be 1:1 by default. mana tau lowest it could go is 3:5

2200 la. can do some tests but can't run 3dmark properly.

i'm limited by that ratio. if i could do 1:1 then the testing would be better.

now i feel like exchanging with P965 board.

hehe. i'm surprised to see my KVR reach that. even my DDR400 BT-D43 also don't go that far.

this one, Kingston chip and Hynix chip. http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=228449

ahh. no need to buy DDR2 800 already. yay.

~44c - 46c, both cores at 100% load using F@H.

2150mhz
vcore 1.35
stock heatsink

btw guys, i thought that if i disable EIST then the multiplier and vcore won't jump around already. mine still jumps around.

yeah. divider issue lor.

and last i check Polygon's mod, even though 400 / 533 mhz setting available, it doesn't cure the divider issue.


you don't get what i mean. of course we all know DDR2 800 can go even more, but point is i don't need it already when my DDR2 667 can already do DDR2 900 speed.

aih you ah. i'm not here to say how far it can go la cos i'm just talking about MY RAM. furthermore it depends on chip.

for now i'm just happy to see mine touch DDR2 900.

yeah. hehe. i suspect i was hold back by the Kingston chip.

Added on August 18, 2007, 11:59 amok this is freakin' stupid. it took BIOSTAR 5 days to reply, they gave me a new BIOS but heck i'm not sure whether they understood what I was complaining.

I replied, I've not gotten any answer on the same day so heck. I decided not to wait. Made the effort to find a floppy disk and drive, updated the BIOS and ............... WTH, still the stupid RAM ratio.

aihh. me no happy la.

that's the thing, if i need a BIOS modder to mod BIOS before i can OC, then the board sucks already k.

i've just published my review on the E2140.

arrggh my P35 sucks man......

1. people HAVE mod it before. it wasn't successful. options appear but can't get the ratio.
2. i have the latest BIOS from BIOSTAR itself, not even found on BIOSTAR website. did it help? NO!

Yay, BIOSTAR released latest BIOS for the TP35D2-A7!!!

I was about to publish my review on the board (just finished preparing pics) and a lot of harsh stuff on them then WOW this BIOS saved the day.

finally 400mhz option for Allendales!!! yeah now running at 2.66ghz! sweeeett!
