no la aesthetic la...its jus a compliment...
as far as i found out from net...de ip35e also vdroop round 0.03V when on load...
hence was thinking of blood iron nia...

im curious now, even BIOS at default i.e. non oced E2220@2.4GHz- prime95 failed on the second and third test - third test (blend) failed almost instantly
hope u guys bear with me, really noobie in ocing intel proc.

i did some reading yesterday but still confuse in many things - at default RAM is running 800 - meaning it is on 1:2 ratio right? is 1:1 supposed to be better?

yes 1:1 is better. Hmm whats the default speed of your proc>

whoah... we have highest E2220 here, and it's new too , anyway... i remember in eXtremeSystem.org got a pinned thread with Stable@Stock. anyway... what board you're using? i'm afraid that's because of the vdroop or the E2220 of yours is bad chip...

E2220 default is 2.4Ghz, 12x200
ABIT IP35E and Mushkin 2 x 1G DDR800
i wanted to do mild ocing to 3Ghz, maybe 12x250, and not need to increase voltage here and there
what ratio shud i use for the RAM?
can i leave RAM setting at default?

the problem now at default setting also prime95 failed (both tests with memory thingy)

alamak vdroop? no idea

thx in advance

red : i would suggest go for lower multi but higher fsb...
u will be amaze of d result...

intel IIANM, love high FSB

erm... try on 333x9 with DDR 333 Memory, it'll on 1:1, if it's a good chipset, you can even tighten the timing

Kimi may be ur mobo vdrop is more quite serious, that why u got problem at stock speed too. try to check the voltage in bios and set manually if u have to, i believe u can run at 3.0ghz with stock heat sink. I'm doin 3.3ghz with 1.34v now... but it weird this proc, the CPU Pll voltage is very very high, dangerously high need a lot of voltage to do 3.6 yet not stable.

as for the high FSB, u may feel ur pc a bit more responsive, but make sure ur rams working correctly though......

hey dude,

here is my latest OC results:

E2160 @ 3.33Ghz, 9x370Mhz, 1.475v
RAM 888Mhz, 4-4-4-12

passed OCCT, SUPERPI 32M, 3DMark06...
[attachmentid=427859]

E2160 @ 3.33Ghz, 9x370Mhz, 1.475v
RAM 925Mhz, 4-4-4-12

passed orthos 9hrs+ with priority 8
[attachmentid=427860]

next attempt will be 9x380Mhz with stabilities test...

You should try 400x8

huh... 400x8?
i just intend to stress the proc, not mobo..

400x8 wont stress a P35-DS3.

also, you get a faster pc... but silver, at 375Mhz he is already pumping 1.47V... so its not advisable...

Maybe... But I need more vcore to use x9 too~

yah... i think so. 4XXMhz FSB shouldnt be a problem for p35.
however, usually >400Mhz need to add MCH voltage right...?
and maybe will hit FSB wall as well..
so, i prefer to test how far my proc can go first...

AFAIK, I tried 1.7k FSB on P35-DS3 before, no problems at all~

i can get it stable at 3.2GHz with just 1.37v, either 356x9 or 400x8;
however, 3.33Ghz, 370x9 need 1.47v to get stable and passed all tests...
huh...
i guess the potential of this proc is topping around 3.4Ghz only...

forgot to mention, the vdroop margin is quite huge also, bios set 1.47v, but cpuz show 1.40v only when priming....

vdroop of gigabyte is amazingly high so thats really not surprising u might need 1.5* V to be at 400*8

yaya, the vdroop is kinda high.

however, i like the energy saver feature, plus the auto adjust multiplier....
idling --> 1.2ghz, 1.120v, 300Mhz gpu, good for 24hrsx7 machine.

gogogogogo green.....

eh... ur go green boy where can, here only for extreme boys la... I run 420*8 for 12 hours a day
