Intel Core 2 Duo E2140/E2160 Overclocking Results

[wedfighter]

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

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

it should be yes, but i've 2 M0 revision and they can't scale as high as my L2 one
so a good chip does matter here, no matter what revision they are

the only good from M0 is it a lot of cooler than the B2 rev

[ieatrawbacos]

I have an M0 E2140 and it has an FSB wall at 385Mhz.

Anyone tried de-lidding an M0 yet? Perhaps they soldered these ones...? :P

my 2140+DFI-965S

fsbwall @ 458 i think, gonna try modifying my vapochill and might get some more out of it

[forevera]

here is mine .. bad chip .

L2, fsb wall is 390-393

Not sure what's the deal with my E2140. I can sometimes post at 8x400, but it never does fully load into XP. I've got a conductive ink pen so I'll try the BSEL 200->266->333 FSB mod when it arrives.

[jkabaseball]

if it isn't stable at those speeds doing the mod will be bad, you won't be able to boot up your computer ever without going into the bios and lowering your speed down.

Got one of these over the weekend, first intel CPU in a long time, currrently on 3.1 gig default voltage e2140 ram is crapping ou tho, its cheal generic 667 , need some better ram i think it will do well this chip.
Forogt to mention im on a GB p965 ds3p revision 3.3 board

[eternaljammer]

I will have 2 pick one of these to play with.

Your chip seems to be really good.

What voltage did you need to run it at 458? And what board did you use?

Hey guys, i just got a E2140 in, M0 stepping, along with a DFI P965-S Dark motherboard, what kind of performance can i expect here with this one, i know my L2 stepping doesnt go higher then 3.08ghz at 1.55vcore

[Bail_w]

it may end up at 3.0ghz with stock voltages, but YMMV. Also, guys feel free to pop the IHS of your E2140 and E2160, i did it to mine with razor blade (not soldered), but i did some mod to the mounting.

[Spawne32]

does anyone know which coretemp version is giving the most accurate temps for the M0 stepping?

Got any pics of this? i have been comtemplating doing it to mine, the temps on this thing at 3.2ghz are very hot, and if they aren't soldered on that could be why the temps are so high.

[DeadlyFire]

I've only seen L2 and M0 steppings. Does a G0 E2140 exist or is ClubIT teasing me? I'm shopping around for prices and it looks like ClubIT's "G0" is really a M0?

[Spawne32]

I think its really an M0...


Guys i had a chance to play with the chip a little more tonight, however i was only able to get it to 2.6ghz at default vcore, which is about 1.16v. I tried booting at 2700mhz and took the vcore all the way up to 1.52v and the nb volts up to 1.4v, but it still wouldnt boot. Beyond that and im starting to push the thermal limit, do you think the CPU stops here or is it the NB that needs more volts. In which case im gona wait till i get the north bridge coolers in. The mobo is a DFI Infinity Dark P965 S, brand new.

Here are some pics of the iHS of E2160 and E2140, i cant take any of the CPU because its running in my rig for crunching and i dont want to take it apart.

[ferjero989]

men.. i wanna do this.. for real...
i have this e2140.. the nest i can get its 2.9ghz with +.05vcore
io want to achieve 3.2ghz.. thats my goal...
i have a msi p6n sli and cheap "Team" ddr2 800 mem... all i wanna do is get this baby to 3.2ghz... i dont really know much abuot playing with voltage but if ya guide me i will do it
so.. what are the settings.. i saw ur screen shot but i feel there more to change and be able to achieve 3.2

Thank you very much for the pics!
how much did temps improve after you did this?

hey guys i have this 2gb kit coming in. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820148144
I want to get a 2140 and one of these motherboards.

or

which one will do better with the 2140?

personally, i like my IP35-E for its IDE placement since i still use IDE dvd burners. it also uses a full sized ATX layout not the short one the biostar uses (smaller board). the overall layout is better on the abit compared to the biostar. i don't know how well the biostar will oc so i can't help you there. there are plenty of other users on there with the IP35-E and they really love them.

B3=L2
G0=M0

Or what?

[zoob]

Tried the BSEL 200->266->333 mod and no go on a Gigabyte P35-DS3R. Won't post, so I've given up and settled with a nice 8x375@1.350V in BIOS setting. So much for the 100% overclock :|

[ferjero989]

cmon ppl.. uh
the Vtt in my board comes by percentage... so i dunno how much to increase it if needed. thiis is what i got
fsb 1600 x8
vcore +.065
mem voltage 2.00 (guided by screen shot upthere)
i dunno what else to change
i cannot post with this config... i want to do 100% overclock...
