Intel Core 2 Duo E2140/E2160 Overclocking Results

[LyP0]

Get a 2140 I think they are better for higher fsb with a x8 multiplier. Ive seen 475 fsb, I can do 395 x 6 but x 7 wont boot, can boot with 375x8 which is what Im running atm.

i can do 393x 8 with my e2140, orthos stable but the max i can memtest with is 375x8. Never tried a lower multi. vcore is 1.55 in bios and cooler is scythe infinity with revoltec airguard 120mm(18db) temps are maxed 58 C and i used coollaboratory pro liquid metal on both the cpu and cooler. I'm living at the attic here so room temp is fairly high ( around 24-27 atm ).
my main board is a gigabyte p35 ds3p and mem is d9gmh ( sucks )

ram is memtest stable is 1125 with 5-4-4-8. wont do 4-4-4-8 nor 5-6-6-18 at higer speed.

now i've lowerd the vcore to 1.375 in bios. still testing orthos. temps are around 45-50 depends on room temp. if i set vcore ti 1.3500 volt my memory cant pass memtest but run's orthos without any problems. vdimm is still 2.3v
i have to say i'm pleasantly suprised with this cpu. this cpu + single 7800gtx = 5211 3dmarks 06
amd3700+ @ 3ghz + sli = 6301 3dmarks 06

Got my E2160 yesterday.... of course once again "suprisingly" schaisse individual for me ...3,1Ghz wit 1.4Vcore, Zalman 7700AlCu. Have to test some more if even that is surely stable. More volts and the temps are of the roof >75C. Mobo MSI P35 Neo. HS is one fu#in groocked politician.

Edit:Orthos Large FTT Ram test stable 2.6GHz ...this one is truly great!

Running at 3.0GHz atm Pretty pleased with this cheapo cpu. I ordered a Tuniq Tower and I'm planning to lap the cpu's HS so I'm pretty sure that atleast 3.2GHz is possible then.

Just ordered 2 e2140's. They should be here friday, and so i have the weekend to muck about and see what they can do. Once i get them, i will post back with there results. Basically gona run the best one on my main rig, and run the slower one else where. haven't figured that out yet, heh
