Intel Core 2 Duo E2140/E2160 Overclocking Results

[clayton]

I'm gonna test a 2140 with an Ultra-120 extreme soon.

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 .

You should run 094 and 095 at the same time. See if they are different since you seem 100% sure they are. Maybe other people have the opposite results from which one is correct. Last time I did this they were exactly the same, of course the 'reality check' always applies - idle temps can't be below ambient with air or standard water for example.

*edit* Didn't mean the above to sound harsh. I've just tried out Coretemp 094 and 095 with my L2 stepping () e4400. Running them at the same time 095 does read 15C higher but also shows TJunction at 15C higher. Don't know which to believe but as long as the temp to tjunction allowance is correct it doesn't matter. The CPU is a poor oc'er anyway :p so I don't really care.

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.

I see that this is M0 stepping...can u tell us the BATCH no as well. A pic of the box sticker will be excellent

[Prodigys]

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.

Coretemp 0.94 gives me 6°C idle .
Coretemp 0.95 gives me 23°c idle...

My room i currently @21°C, and my water of my WC rig is 22°C.
What do you think is right ?

I just say it to help you guys, you will be looking @ 0.94 and 0.95, YOU all think, ohh I LIKE 0.94, because of the temps .

Well , let me say, if you are on 65°c with 0.94 it's actually 80°C .
I understand you all why you wanna believe 0.94, but it is wrong.

Look, your are 'hopefully' grown up guys, so pls listen if i say it. I know al lot off guys that where wrong about 0.94 VS 0.95.
Why yoy think its called 0.95 anyway ? Becuase its a new update, and updates give sollutions to earlier bugs...


Just want to say, i've been ALWAYS under ambient temp with 0.94, and i'm not a holy man to break the law of physics .

I hope you understand it now .


Besides that guys, i gonna leave you all, i'm on a E6750 now.
My E2140 is sold, and my E2160 is getting some dust in the closet :P.
But i will keep in touch here .

Im only using the retail heatsink right now, soon as i upgrade ill push it higher.

didnt have more time to run orthos..

there r 2 orthos & speedfans.. cose i ve posted it twice to "paint"

Screaming results for a dirt cheap chip. I just stumbled across this since I sold my Biostar Tforce P965 and E6300 that was good for 3.4. I was able to buy a sealed EVGA 680i SLI A1 board and for now I got a retail 2140 till Q6600 drops a bit more

My batch code is Q724A014 I am jus wondering what success is with this batch should anyone else have. Pack date is 7/12/07 and its a SLAYJ3

Just waiting on a few other pieces then build the box and see what this chip can do, I will be more than happy with a 100% overclock

here's my E2140 with Abit IP35 PRO under DI
RAM @ single channel and it's A-DATA EE 1200+ D9 GKX

Superpi 2M


Superpi 1M

[aiya]

^^ nice clocks, whats your voltage?

[C-BuZz]

A bit more Stock Heatsink action. Ambients around 13c. Getting a little toasty so didnt let her run to long.


Batch: Q713A170

Delta is massive from idle/load. She idle's around 20c, then jumps straight to 65c under load & slowly increases. Better cooler should reduce the massive delta on air.

1.6v

1.6v

lol wow. on water i'm guessing? and if on air, DAMN hope thats not 24/7.

That's an M0 chip. So far, M0 chip seems to be better o/cer than L2. Any oc result from you?

Hi this is my E2160

[acme420]

call me a n00b or whatever but how come some of you with 2140's have 8x multi and some 9x?

[Reefa_Madness]

I don't see a 2140 with a 9 multi, only 2160s...please reference a post # for a 2140 with a 9 multi.

[chatmaster]

Nice clocks there Ming@s, with a L2 as well.

What impact does the lack of cache have in non-benchmarking activities? would you know what speeds these chips need to reach in order to compete with the 4mb cache chips?

[wedfighter]

update some result, still with L2 rev
i've got an M0 my self but havent play with it lately...

Amazing job!

@ trans am
thx bro

How to choose the best E2140? which series is the best? Does batch have any influence on overclocking??

[geforce man]

on one of ewiz's weekend sales i picked up an e2140 for 66.67$ shipped, does 3200Mhz 1.45 v's 24/7 stable 100% OC ftw!

wtf?
what is the vcore? thats a damn good oc!! what the pack date and code on that 2140?

What Vcore? Is that a M0 or L2? It doesn't say it with that version of CPU-Z, try a newer one.
