Intel Core 2 Duo E2140/E2160 Overclocking Results

[Prodigys]

3.6Ghz is nice

Go for it!

Done it .




This was with 1.7Vcore bios, and 1.66Vcore in windows .

Temps, 29 idle, 63 stressed .


EDIT:

414 x 9 also works . But validation was corrupt .

[LaZeR]

Nicely Done prodigy like always
Nice temps for 1.7v though, ur WC Set doess good as i see this

[BeardyMan]

Nice cpu's to play with, i bet the 2180 wil scale good with cold and voltage

[Prodigys]

Just playing

e2160 @ 3.7Ghz/1.5v
S3L Mobo
Stock cooler with added fan. Heat becomming big issue.


Havent seen any fsb wall yet, even booting @ 430x9, only thing stopping cpu is heat atm. Better cooler in order.

Hi...., i'm newbie, i try to oc my processor
e2160 @3,1Gh/1,5v
DFI i965 Dark Infinity
Kingstone DDR2 PC6400 Value

[Spawne32]

the highest ive had my E2140 is 2560 mhz at stock vcore, my DS3 rev 3.3 seems to be having some trouble with the bios, im back using the F10 bios just to get the OC to stick, not to mention i have severely poor cooling, even with the enzotech ultra x, the airflow is terrible in the case.

Fed ex is on the way with a new 2140 retail from newegg. gonna use a p5b dlx and a tuniq tower. goal is 3.2ghz. I'm not sure what the fsb max on 2140 is yet. I've mostly seen around 400mhz fsb. WIth the exception of Venom-Crusher's 440mhz fsb! amazing overclock!

Maybe I should've paid an extra $20 for the 9 multi?

400FSB you may call yourself lucky .

Most stop @380 or so ...
And X9 MP is lovely .

I know. Even 380 i will be happy. for the best o/c chips what stepping / batch # should I be looking for on the box?

[Flip_Lx]

e2140 @ 3ghz (375x8)
batch L703C870
on a P35-S3L (yeah not the most feature rich board but this has been the dream budget board)

e2160 @ 3510Mhz Stock cooling with larger fan
3D06


e2160 @ 3690 Stock cooler with larger fan
3D06


Can boot @ 440x9 / 1.6v but bsod before windows. Pretty unstable > 420fsb.

perhaps with a better aircooling you can get a better clock. btw that score was nice with stock cooling..

Thx

Im sure with a better cooler the clocks should improve. But for now stuck on the stock HSF

I see you've run 3DM which isn't bad for stability but have you tried Orthos? Curious to see how high it can do that for 8+ hours.

Cant run Orthos @ that speed. Temps get out of controll.

of course he cant run Orthos with stock hsf @ that clock. he must find another cooling maybe wc or an extreme cooling

[MadMan007]

'of course' I didn't say at that speed either did I in fact I didn't specify any certain speed. I was just curious what kind of longer-term stability he can get with whatever clocks/voltage for comparison purposes. I asked him specifically because he has an M0 and it seems to be doing very well and since there are so few M0 results around I figured I'd ask.

Any tips how to get over the wall? ll be happy 4 any advice.. i end up at 410.. ve got a 8cm fan over the NB

priming my 2160, air cooling

You can rise the FSB + SB voltage and try again.

Very nice chip btw, i need 1.46VCore on 3.4Ghz .


So hopefully the wall goes away with some tweaking and you can get maybe 4Ghz .



BTW, Coretemp 0.94 and Speedfan give you the TCAse temp, you need the CORE temps, and those will be +15°c of the temps what you see there !
So remind it , else you gonna bow up your chip !

u know with box temp were like 34 idle and 66C load.. in coretemp 0.94.. my ambient is like 20C.. with the thermalright ultra 120 i ve got 21 idle (i 'd say it right as i ve got a 12cm 2000rpm fan) and i ve got no case.. so the mobo is on the table.. and there is nothing like (its "hot" in case so u cant have 21 idle)..

so i ***** dont know what to trust

The only program that is right is CoreTemp 0.95.
Maybe also TAT, BUT, that is a program that was originally created by Intel for mobile cpu's, so with that you also can get e wrong indication .


EDIT:

you need to change your ava

[tom_ed]

I don't think coretemp 0.95 is right at all. It says i have a load temperature of 75deg C. I know i have good contact from heatsink and there is no way it is that hot. You can tell that much just by touching the heatsink.

I have the E2140 @ 370 X 8 (2956Mhz). 1.3v. Seem to have hit a wall about here and cpu needs way more voltage to go a little higher. this will have to wait until i find a LGA775 bracket adapter for my xp120.

The you just stay stuck on CoreTemp 0.94 !


I tested it with varies of persons.

I got with Coretemp 0.94 temps of 21/22°C when my room is 25°c, you think that is right ?

NO .

So if you wanna be harsh and dont want to listen stay on 0.94, but dont complain if your cpu is dead .


Unless you can prove to me, that YOU can cool something to 21°C with air that's 25°C .

Then you are THE MAN !

Sorry for my post, but you dont understand it, then i must be a little hard .

[tom_ed]

To be honest i dont think coretemp 0.94 is right either, it gives closer to realistic values on my system though.

I'd take a seaparate correctly positioned thermistor over these internal diode reading apps anyday.
