I also have E2160 L2 revision, but rather average one. For everyday use i have 3.0GHz, vcore set in BIOS at 1,41V (about 1,37V real) and everything is stable. Here is my score in 32m:http://hwbot.org/signature.img?iid=40913&thumb=false
Vcore 1,51V (real 1,47V). It's on EVGA 650i Ultra T1 with the latest BIOS. Everything on box cooler with additional airflow.

This is mine
AIR Cooler.
1.6 v

[jkabaseball]

mines up to 2.8 with 1.272 volts. Whats a safe limit for volts for this CPU? I have the Thermaltake Big Typhoon on it.

You can use as much as Vcore up to 1.6, but make sure your temperature are below 65 full loaded.

Ok,
I am running the 2160 at 3Ghz using a Gigabyte P35DS3R. So far no problems and I am pretty happy considering I haven't had time to really push it. The only problem i am running into is the CPU-ID is showing it at 333fsb with a 6 multi even though I have it set at 9x in the bios. I used the software that came with it to confirm the 3ghz setting and I did a video conversion before and after the OCing and got a 63% increase in conversion time, so I am pretty sure the 3Ghz setting is correct. Any thoughts on the CPU-ID information? I will post some screenshots tomorrow to show you what I mean. Anyway, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Utnorris

[Utnorris]

Nevermind, but I swear it was showing odd numbers.

you probably have C1E and EIST enabled in bios so it causes your cpu to downclock itself when its idling/doing nothing.

i have my 2140 @ 2.66ghz right now had to bump vcore up a notch due to vdroop so its really running at default volts now, 1.325v. i know she has more to go but for now i'm happy with it. i'll try 400*8 tomorrow for 3.2ghz.

[Utnorris]

Yeah that was it. Things that make you go "Dee, D, Dee!"

Thanks,

I have the same board and the v-core drops like gravity.

2140 @ 3.0 orthos stable

not great but it's the best I can do with this tunq @ 1.575v
this is a system for a friend I o/ced for him.
I'm proud of this one not so much the o/c but the cost/performance of this rig is amazing!

SHIMMEL'S BUDGET O/C GAMING RIG:
retail e2140 @3.0 $74.99
p5b dlx wifi $109.99
Team Xtreem 2GB **D9 (2 x 1GB) $75.00

[apvm]

so which should I get, E2140 or E2160? TIA

[jkabaseball]

I have the E2140 and its really nice. With my board, the min memory divider is 1:1 so I'm now having issues with 400+ since my memory isn't capable of doing much more then that. think the 2160 would leave a little more headroom.

2180 will be better for your system
but with higher cost of processor compare with a 2140, u can buy some better RAM chip

just chooce which one you think better

Ouch HUGE voltage there!

In my girlfriend's rig I've got the following:

Intel Pentium Dual Core E2140 - SLA3J - L711A691 - Pack date: 07/20/2007
E2140 -- L2 rvision
VID 1.3250V
Tjunction 100C
Set 1.3750V in BIOS (Gigabyte P35-DS3R F5), loading at 1.312V according to Speedfan.
375 x 8 = 3000 MHz

The P5K-VM I had it in previously was holding it back to 8x266 max stable :|

[tormentor22]

Ive got an E2160 today, It goes very well.. (FPO: Q651A)
3.6GHz 1.55v with boxed cooler (copper based), easy 100%OC
look at the temperatures, at load around 60C lol

SuperPi 1M

3.6G with stock cooler!!!!! how can that be?!

[Bobsama]

The stock cooler isn't that bad. Once I get my rig together, I'll be overclocking an E2140 with my Infinity. I'll tell you guys how it goes...

Code: BX80557E2140SLA93 (revision M0, instead of L2)
Batch: Q712A647
Pack date: 07/17/07

[apvm]

Which one is better...L2 or M0 ?

[Bobsama]

M0 is newer--SLA93 is used to identify the M0 revision, over L2. M0 is the Allendale equivalent of Conroe/Kentsfield G0.

[apvm]

so M0 is better overclocking than L2, am I right here?

[Bobsama]

I've not tested it yet, but I'd assume so.

[zerdali]

hello guys. iam new here and also don't know much about oc
I have an e2180 SLA8Y M0, max oc is 10x266 1,312V and 8x340(2720) 1,312v.occt temp max 37 cel. C1E and EIST disabled, vcore = auto, Vdroop applied.
when i try to set the vcore manual higher than 1.3125, it won't boot
Is this an cpu limit? or mobo? or something else?

would it help to try out the bsel mod?

cheers.

sry for my poor english ^^
