You will be pushed to see any e21** chips above 400FSB without exteme cooling.

Has anyone got M0 stepping yet ? Curious bout it's result ! :)

I got my Q705A E2140 to 3.2ghz with 1.43V (15 hour Orthos stable using a lapped TT120)

Attachment 62366

I got this on stock voltage (1.325V in BIOS) and stock cooling. +0.1V to the FSB and MCH. Gigabyte 965P-DS3 rev 3.3.
I plan to push further soon, but I don't know how much more since SpeedFan is reporting my T_case as 57-58c and Intel's thermal spec is 61.5c.

@SoF & Prodigys-you both have very nice CPU's:clap:

Thnx !

If i got my WC set, i gonna clock the hell out of my E2160, i want to get the 3.6Ghz :D .

And my E2140 will face a 333 FSB mod, then i overclock that chip also again.
3.2Ghz on 1.2Vcore means that it burns Mhz on 1.6VCore :rofl: !

3.6Ghz is nice :D

Go for it!

lo guys.. havent been here for a long time.. got myself a 2160, testing 3150Mhz now.. but the temp is quite high.. 81-83 with ORTHOS..

u think i can run it if its that high? my last Intel was P4 :shocked:

thx, someone

what should i measure with? core temp 0.95 shows 83°C, 0.94 691C, speedfan 69°C and intel thermal a. tool 81°C:shrug:

Well here is something close to 3.6Ghz (3555Mhz 9X multi) on stock cooling + a Air conditioner close to the rig,that's @ ~1.58-1.59V,sometimes it runs @ 3.57 with no problems other times (like this one) it wouldn't, anyway great chip for the money....

Your temp is to high !

Is your heatsink attached good ? And your cooler fits good ?
I dont believe those temps with any cooler :confused: .

Anyways, temps you can best read out with Everest and CoreTemp 0.95.

I got the same with mine E2160, runs perfectly 3550Mhz , and sometimes harder, but usaully it snaps out if i go higher then 3560Mhz.
I wass testing on 1.52VCore then, but ATM waiting on WC rig and for now i use the boxed intel cooler :X

Here is mine

Attachment 62520

Wow that M0 -stepping can take some fsb! Not bat clocks either...

Now that i have better mobo (Gigabyte P35C -DS3R) i can get my E2160 to 3.2GHz (356 x 9). Vcore is set to 1.48V in bios. Zalman 7700AlCu is the cooler.

Lol, i get 415 x 8 on 1.25VCore :rofl:

my maximum:

stable clocks are 3100Mhz....

so you guys think M0 of E2140/E2160 is best buy for price/performance....

You all guys have luck. I got really bad one E2160.

Maybe my motherboard is fu**ed, its singing (PWM) when CPU got load.

Max stable FSB is 250, does not matter on voltage and multiplier. 2,25GHz its on 1,25V voltage.

OEM? RETAIL? So where do most of you buy your cheapo chips at? I just want nice steppings based on the store ya'll purchased from. I don't really care about the warranty, since I'm gonna void it anyways with overclocking. Thanks.

Q652A314

Had an E2140 for a week now and just started pushing it. Will have results soon.

Question for other E2140 owners: In Coretemp is your Tjunction read as 100deg C like mine as I have seen a few that read as 80. Does anyone know what this means? I'm not sure i trust coretemp as reading the true temperature.

For idle-temps use Coretemp 0.95, for temps under load use Coretemp 0.94. ;)


Here my maximum...

E2140 @ 392*8 = 3139Mhz @ 1,36V @ Noctua NH-U12F @ 52°C

Boot into Windows @ default Vcore of 1.16250v lol... I'm so %#*$# shocked...

Gotta go to work now, stable testing tonight :D
