POST YOUR OC RESULTS OF YOUR E2xxx SERIES!!!!!

[Night-Stalker]

e2160 1.5v 385mhz x9 = 3.45GHZ , Stock cooler, Asus P5K, 4GB OCZ DDR2 Platinum 4-4-4-12 770 mhz.

P.S. - Bios posted at 3.61 GHZ but froze after getting to desktop

Well, if you actually ran Prime for any amount of time at those settings (which I doubt you did) then I would expect your chip to last a few more weeks tops.

There's a big difference between a stable OC and getting it to boot into windows.

Okay, now you're being paranoid.

To OP: There's quite a few threads on this, scout around.

e2180 3.0ghz @ 1.38v

Not very impressive, but it beats my buddy's stock q6600 in single-threaded apps.

You really need to ditch that stock cooling, especially with that voltage. Honestly, I laughed so hard when I unboxed that stock cooler, it's barely an inch tall including the fan.

Got my e2180 to 3.2 GHz via 8 x 400 MHz. 1:1 memory. 1.36 voltage.

Was idling around 25-27 degrees, but now that it's hitting Springtime and my house is warmer, its around 28-31. Under stress test, I have never seen it clear 60. With typical gaming use, maybe upper 40's.

Eager for the e8400 to drop a couple more bucks, and then see how well it overclocks...

Paranoid? Come on man, 1.5V with my after market cooler and a very well cooled case nets me ~70C under load. We all know that heat kills.

Not to mention that only gets me to 3.2GHz. I'm just trying to prevent the inevitable here.

 

[Night-Stalker]

my 3.45ghz is completely stable though my voltage should be v1.54, my idle is high 30s and load is low 50s max.

Using what program to measure the temps?

@Dunkel: If you kill your chip at 70C, it was faulty to begin with. 1.5V is fine for a 65nm chip, although for a 45nm chip that's moving quickly along on the scale of good, bad and downright stupid :lol:

 

[Dunkel]

I wasn't saying that ~70 would kill it but he is obviously not monitoring temps properly. He said stock cooler, so I assume his actual temps are above 80C under full load.

OP: Nice OC!

400x8 or 400x9 or 450x8 or 500x7

These are all great speeds to hit with this chip.

I'm trying to get a co-worker to build let me build him an e2160 (as a stop gap) into a maximus formula mobo build to see if I tweak it to hit 500x7. Personally I'm too lazy to take mine out of my HTPC to test it.

Even then I'd still probably end up going back down (or getting stuck) close to 400x8 due to him not having any OC ram.

I am using asus probe for the temps, i don't hit 70s unless my graphics card is also being utilized to a certain degree.

Ah ok, that's what I thought. You are measuring the temps reported by the sensor embedded in the IHS, not the core temps.

That's not a good thing is it?
