go lowyat few days ago, almost all shop only sell it bundling with a mobo... sad..

Well i think they'll sell @ rm700 for this week.. wait another 4 days, the price will have massive drop to 6xx

well if u have a way to get urself dfi dk, then go for it

it is definitely stable .. for comparison, i can say oc this penryn to 4ghz is the same like ocing conroe to 3ghz.. all my previous 17 conroe (/allendale) processors manage to oc till 3.1ghz at least.. and they are fully stable at that speed, even that might be its max clock.. but i did read some only manage to get until 2.7-2.8ghz, which i doubt is the wall for the proc.. maybe bcoz of the user itself ..the setting.. the board.. psu..

Most people comment based on their reading (not experience) so it's hard to tell what's true and what's not Overclocking to get into Windows with a SuperPI screenshot is not considered as stable. From the way I look at it, 4Ghz should be easy considering it's only a mild increase from the default clock speed BUT we'll never know if we have a dud CPU.

There are just as many Wolfdale users not being able to get their E8400 stable at 4Ghz.

ya, actually to get stable OC, we must run through prime test for both core at least 8 hours for stability, not just running SuperPI... the best is priming for 24hours...

I understand that. My point is that not all E8400 are 4Ghz stable from what I read. I'm not sure how true it is but am sharing what I see from other forums. It's good to have that in mind so that people don't have a wrong expectation that all E8400 can run 4Ghz+ daily.

I don't think they will differ that much though... Just that maybe u need a higher vcore to run at that speed..

ya i get it, like my case lo... my e2140 need bout 1.5vcore just to run 3ghz... kucingfight and goldfries e2140 can reach 3.2ghz at such low vcore... and also ur e2140 OC quite well as well... so its depends on steppings and batch...

It's luck I guess. I have another E2140 lying around but I'm lazy to swap CPU to test out - too much of work involved

well mine runs fine at 3.44Ghz with 1.50V.. can be lower but my 4 phase mobo dont help me much

yeah, later batch of e2140 didnt oc as well as earlier batches... but still 90% OC... quite statisfied ady...

Ask Cycom.

guys just have a question.

am using intel mobile core 2 duo t5450, 1.66ghz

wanna ask if wanna upgrade the processor is it possible?

am using dell.. cause just realize the whole system not that smooth. duno why

@priest

hmm that you should ask dell, coz dell is very picky about this things.. worth asking though

sorry if i might have added the same post coz i forgot di

but ill post this again, so TS can add me in the list of the fastest e2140 around.

@master

nice voltage and super pi man, u should aim for the 13 second benchmark of pi. And also cant help notice that ur timings for ram, why dont u play with tighter timings?

finally...

broke the 1st E2140 clock, good job mate

@abang sniper

thanks man

Anyone here knows which is a good 6-phase board for below rm800? Just a query, dont spam this question or ill get into trouble for this

in overclock..totally depend on ur luck, skill and hardware that ur rig have ...it will be not the same for u n others...
