Punch a top blowhole on your casing.Trust me, it helps a lot.

today very free....pick 1 e2140 quick test with DK.
here we go brother..........
manage to orthos 1 hour at 3.4ghz 1.488Vcore
nice try superpi 3.5ghz.i think 3.55 still can goin dunwan go so far this cpu is sean brother 1.hehehe...dunwan over 1.55vcore later kill cpu hard.

my setup
E2140 Mo STepping cool by Gemimi2    
DFI DK P35
2x1gb DDR2 800 crucial with D9GKX
Silverstone DA750 PSU
Palit 7300GT

i drop 10c..haha dunno if not accurate with the reading but when c it drop it make me feel better to oc

btw here the 4.3ghz i prime for 9hours
set in bios 1.4v vcore, 1.41v NB..i think there such abit vdrop oso..coz sumtime its shown 1.39v but mostly its 1.376v..izzit coz by psu oso?haha coz didnt use 8pin atx psu..jus using 4pin atx 

try it yesterday, same as yours, direct drop 10C.
measure with IR type digital thermometer prove same reading.
nice support for e8400 , for sure...as for other proc. dunno.

rgds

eh saw DK p35 got new rev..sum1 bought it in LYP wit smaller caps..wondering how the performance cmpared with 1st rev

i think like that also...maybe someone already brought this problem to DFI company...

Hi guys, hope I'm not too late joining in.
Finally got my system up last nite, still need to learn and understand a lot of setting in the BIOS .

Anyone here ever had problem installing XP with SATA/AHCI raid driver?

The F6 works ok and i can select the Intel SATA driver selection.
XP can load the driver from diskette during the F6 but then it gives error message "can't copy iastor.sys file when windows XP setup is starting.

I already flashed to the latest bios 13/4/08 but haven't repeat the setup.

My system setup is as below.
HDD1-SATA 0
HDD2-SATA 1
HDD3-SATA 2

I don't plan to do any RAID though.

My first overclocking experience and after some trial... now it is



CPU
Q6600 3.2GHz @ 400 x 8
BIOS: +37.5mV (1.2375)? (I'm not sure if I calculate correctly for 1.2000V (stock) + 0.0375 (37.5mV) = 1.2375? )
CPU-Z Idle: 1.232V
CPU-Z Load: 1.184V

Maximum Temperature Reported
Processor core: 65C
Chipset: 55C
PWM: 51C
Consider a good OC?

Edited: CPU-Z Idle is 1.232V

Posted the wrong number, actually my CPU-Z Idle is 1.232 instead of 1.216

So... my CPU VCore is 1.200 + VID Special Add 37.5mV = 1.2375V?

Vdrop will be: 1.2375 - 1.232 = 0.0055
Vdroop will be: 1.232 - 1.184 = 0.0048


Consider ok?

Anyway, I stopped the prime at 6 hours and 5 minutes instead of 5 hours as I'm going out

My casing is closed, if open casing wise the temperature might drop a few more C. Honestly I felt I need a change for the case, Tsunami Dream really doesn't offer me good enough air-flow anymore.

Initially during the earlier trial, my system passes the following setting for 30 mins prime without error at stock VCore.

1) 320MHz x 9 = 2880MHz
2) 360MHz x 8 = 2880MHz
3) 400MHz x 7 = 2800MHz

Then when I go for 400MHz x 8 = 3200MHz, the rig able to bootup but experiencing reboot when I started to prime. Then I add the VCore (VID Special Add) step by step:

1) +12.5mV : failed after prime for 5 minutes
2) +25.0mV : rebooted after prime for 2 hours
3) +37.5mV : successfully prime for 6 hours and 5 minutes

Note: mfcm guided me all the way through this for trial OCing (thanks a lot )

Final temperature reading I recorded after priming for 6 hours:

Highest processor core: 67C, 60C, 67C, 59C
Chipset: 57C
PWM: 51C

I don't think I'll do anything that stress the CPU for more than 3 hours continuous... so my rig can consider stable now and proceed with ram timings tuning?

i followed vearn27 settings..but my cpuz showed 1.296v at load and 1.232 idle..i was using prime95 instead of orthos..coz someone said that orthos not good to torture quady...

btw, my cpu EIST is on..

at load core temp show..
69 , 65, 66, 69..

i'm using CM factory thermal paste.. no tuniq² will use it in the future and then i hv to naked my rig back
