E2140 meets LN2 and results in a 151.51% OC (WR)

At the weekend, there was the first Awardfabrik OC- and LAN-party in Germany, called AOCM. We had much fun benching with LN2 and dry ice. Many thanks to company Broser for the spontanious decision to sponsor the lquid nitrogen and many thanks to the perfect organisation of this event.

I was a little late, so I only benched a single CPU and that one CPU-Z only. The E2140 I used was able to run a 456 MHz FSB with a crappy aircooler and just 1.4V. With very good watercooling and 1.6V the FSb did not improve. I was pleasantly surprised to boot with 480 MHz and hit 503 MHz using Easy Tune 5. Thanks to SoF for lending me his mainboard :toast:
The board I used first didnt clock too well with the E2140.

For now, I can only show a CPU-Z validation, pics of the unspectacular setup will be posted most likely tomorrow.

Edit: I only needed 1.6V to hit 503 MHz FSb. Too bad I did not do any more stability testing. I tried up to 2V, but it did not improve the max FSB at all.

That is insane that your were able to get the FSB that high on that chip.

Very nice clocks!

I hope you have a lot of fun at the AOCM. I'm sad that i have no time to be there... but hopefully at the second AOCM :D

Yes AOCM was very funny. Too bad I was only there yesterday, but it was well worth it. You should try to make it next year.

4Ghz and 503Fsb on an L2 revision E2140!

Not bad...;)

Really good score...nice chip:up:

Thanks guys :)

Was quite an effort to get there :)

I did not find a higher clockspeed of a E2140. wedfighter had 500.04 MHz FSB, so am I holding the CPU-Z-WR in the E2140 class right now?

I think so. I don't know a higher clock with the E2140 :)

Congrats!

Very very nice OC!

I triying to put my E2160 up to 4Ghz with aircooling.. these chips are fantistics for burn in :D

Too bad that those CPUs have a hard FSB wall. 1.6V for 503 MHz FSB is so nice. I wonder what that CPU could do without the wall with 2V.

A picture of the setup is attached.

More pictures are here:

I will try the CPU on single stage soon to test what it can do stable.

Congratz for the WR.....:clap:

What´s your batch?.

I can tell you that as soon as I get the pictures from yesterdays event. I let someone take a picture, before I lapped the IHS.

Thanks Mark , ming@s and wedfighter :)

It's a shame more voltage didnt help. 503 is the absolute limit for me on that board. I will do some test with other mainboards and the single stage. Maybe a crazy PLL voltage, which is not available on the Gigabyte board, will help to reach a little higher FSB.

I was thinking about getting the DFI P35, but I wont be able to for wuite some time. Too bad that board aint cheaper :/

I was in a hurry when I swapped the mainboards and the temp probe slipped out. I dont think my CPU was much colder than -80C, so with a different board and more voltage, there might be room for improvement, but the FSB walls on those chips are crazy. Do you know if a BSEL mod helps? Booting at 333 FSB default might help, but I am not sure.

Don't forget my HDD you got after we finished our AM3 :p:
"Don't use the allday windows ^^" :D :D :D

You did a really good job and congratz on the WR :toast: !

The Batch is L702C647.

I think the CPU is pretty old.

just the question i wanted to ask! :)

a c stepping!? :eek: now thats something i never seen before!

anyway good job! :) most hardcore 2140 i ever seen!

hmmm when i tested the 2140 it didnt boot at 1333fsb and that was with the mod so... MSI P35 plat and the p35 dq6 was the same - no boot.

i think the gigabyte is actually pretty okay.. even with the pll mod, it didnt really help. i did the mod and nopez.. didnt go higher. its really cpu from here i guess. anyway gigabyte unmodded is able to do really well already :) with dice and a 6550 i did 620fsb, the chinese are doing 670 on it! so dont think boards a prob :) but i could be wrong this time!:rofl:

Thank you for that information. It kind of destroyed my hopes, but saved me a lot of work lol :)
