what i saw and heard it is much more easier coz intel chip promise u that it all can be clock quite high....

For all the E2140,E2160,E2180,E2200?? or depends on the revisions??

i think all intel chip can get above 3.0ghz quite easy...
and depends on the revision and the cooling u use....

yo ocz, u can post here if u have the e2 proc leh By the way i would suggest you to get the e2160 or e2200 coz they might have a chance of getting high clocks.. e2140 and e2180, i dont believe have anymore good procs.

M0 and L2 is just a stepping leh, M0 has a lower thermal dissipation power, there probably uses lower voltage to achieve high speeds. Meanwhile L2, is vise versa. But nowadays, intel has kinda mass market the whole thing, making both M0 and L2 suck.. to the max... M0 has a better chance to OC.

Yes all intel chip, but not all e2 chips can do 3.0Ghz easy, how do u define easy? For me, i dont need anything to reach 3.0Ghz, some ppl need a Vcore pump for it...

some ppl said E4xxx quite hard to achieve 3.0ghz...
but basically it depends on ur luck...

maybe intel chips 2 years ago, might have been easy like the e6300 and e6600. and also initial e2140/e2160 are godlike.. now... no more.. we live with teh old skool procs for big scores...

check the load temp...


, 80°C

eh... this is E2xxx processor thread...

i rest my case...

need some opinion here, which should i get, e2140, e2160 or straight e2220 ?? How the stock in LYP ??

d e2140, i believe is kinda hard to get..
but for high and stable multi, go for e2160...
but if u still can get e2140, go for it...
mine e2160 can go 3ghz on stock vcore...

i notice too e2140 seems to be lacking stock, might this be due to celeron Dual?

thx for the info tech_frix, but ur chip is a bit special thats why. Hrm.... any one use e2220 here ?? like to have an opinion.

May be i'll be the white rat and see hehe........

hehehe...dis thread need guys like u!!!
most ppl in here are using e2140 and e2160..
i really want to see d other brothers of e2xxx series!!!

sup guys

just bought a new E2160 yesterday

since this is my first time overclocking,is it safe to keep it running at higher speeds all the time?

err...what mobo u r using??
psu and hsf??
detail pls...

can we choose M0 or L2 when we purchase? i maybe wan to get a e2160

bro, d latest E2xxx chips are M0 stepping edy...
but d prob is if u sooooo unlucky, u will get a proc dat can oc to 2.7-2.8 on cstock vcore....
BUT....if u r soooooooooooooo lucky, u can get a proc dat can oc to 3.0ghz on stock!!!

If I recall correctly... E2140 already EOL, so it's hardly possible to get them now

Most new E2160 are M0, look at the label on the box... If you can find SLA8Z, it's M0

i'm using a CM 430w PSU and a Gigabyte P35-DS3L mobo

for HSF,i'm using the stock version that came with the processor

Gigabyte boards again.... aite its good. If u intend to oc, make sure u sought out the cooling bit, coz from what i heard, the current stock coolers are thin, discouraging ppl from OCing the procs i think

* CPU Clock: 133 to 600MHz in 1MHz increments;
* N/B Strap: 533/800/1066;
* DRAM Spec: 533/667/800;
* CPU Voltage from 1.325 to 1.725 in 0.0250V increments;
* Memory Voltage from 1.75V to 2.10V in 0.05V increments, 2.20V, 2.25V, 2.30V, 2.35V, 2.45V, 2.55V, 2.65V;
* MCH and PCIe voltage from 1.5V to 2.0V in 0.01V increments;
* Memory Timings: CAS (tCL), RAS to CAS (tRCD), RAS Precharge (tRP), Precharge Delay (tRAS).

Is it enough for me to get the E2140 to 3Ghz with these options?? (taken from Abit AWD9 MAX).
