Intel Core 2 Duo E2140/E2160 Overclocking Results

**Kenetixx** · 10-09-2007, 08:06 PM

Hmm im stuck at 376 fsb on my 2140 and it will not move above that, looks like a wall. was hoping for 400 fsb at least

ferjero, you are going to have to increase your vcore alot more for a 100% overclock, what RAM are you using?

how much did temps improve after you did this?

dropped 10C idle/load.

im using Team DDR2 800mhz 1024mb.. .
its cheap xD but it works tho...
anyways my mobo its a msi p6n sli
the settings available to change are
cpu fsp (rite now its 1400.. all i can get its 2.9ghz)
ratio ( @ 8 rite now)
memory bus
vcore 0.050
nb voltage 1.25
sb voltage 1.5
vtt (shows in percentage)
spread specctrum (shows another menu with 4 options i disabled them all... )
uber memory config (theres so many stuff here xD)

my video card its a xfx 8500gt 256mb (for some reason dxdiag says 512 xD, i swear is not "turbocache crap"...)

What are you using to cool the cpu with? If you want 100% oc you will need to increase vcore. If you increase vcore cpu gets hot so you need to cool it well.

As trans am said you need to up the voltage to atleast 1.45 - 1.5 (maybe more) and that will make things HOT set your FSB and ram ratio to 1:1 and up the fsb till she screams, just make sure you dont see load temps of more than 65C.
Good luck

**ferjero989** · 10-10-2007, 12:31 PM

im using stock cpu fan.. but the case is full of fans everywhre (like 5 xD) so as it is right now (2.9ghz) im getting 35-40Celsius... so... how much i need to add to the vcore? i already tried 0.075 and no go .. should i increase the NB voiltage too? what shall i do?

also theeres no a mem ratio option (to set it 1:1)

**ferjero989** · 10-10-2007, 06:32 PM

this is what i've been able to get.. i want to achieve 3.2ghz... plz.. make my dream come true

**Delta9b** · 10-10-2007, 10:36 PM

you are going to have to set the vcore to atleast +0.15 so thats double what you have tried already,you might need more than that but under full load the stock cooler wont cut it at those voltages and speeds, i would recommend you upgrade your heatsink, my 2160 runs very hot at 1.4v and 3200ghz and thats on water, these chips run alot hotter than the other core 2 duo's i have tried.
good luck

**ferjero989** · 10-11-2007, 10:41 AM

wow... double... mmm
and hows the temp...
mine runs at 35-40 in 2.9hz

That sounds like idle temps to me. look for a free program called Orthos.

Run the small FFTs (stress cpu) this is a good way to see if your overclock is stable. plus it will load the cpu and get it really hot so you can see your temps under load. If you want an decent inexpensive cpu cooler try this and strap a high cfm 120mm fan to it or get an extra 92 mm fan and use it in push/pull config.

make sure to buy some arctic silver 5 too.

**ferjero989** · 10-11-2007, 07:05 PM

uh.. i've been running the small fft's thing.. and its been running for 4 hours now.. and still doesnt finish xD
i downloaded a software called speed fan and it says that my cpu its... mmm
well.. temp1 57, temp2 36, temp3 -128c xD, hd0 40c, core0 59C, core1, 59, core 50C mm wait.. i think i know what it is... temp1 = NB, temp2 = sb...
hd0 its my IDE hdd (i have 2 satas running on raid 0 and one ide for torrents only) core0+1 its the cpu and core = video card

**Delta9b** · 10-11-2007, 11:30 PM

you need to add 15c to speedfan, (its tjunction for our chips is 15c off) so i think your temps are getting a bit out of hand. You really need an aftermarket cooler.
Orthos won't finish running, it will run until you tell it to stop.
what volts are you using at the moment?
Did you try +.15 yet? try see if it boots into windows but dont stress the CPU or your temps will skyrocket, if it does then it will be worth it to purchase an aftermarket cooler (altho its always a good idea)

LOL @ trans am sig..

**Brutalis** · 10-12-2007, 07:51 PM

I just got the 2160, would it be ok for me to oc useing the cooler that came with it? If not witch cooler should i get?

I just tryed now, and all i got was up to 2250GHz, with 250MHz fsb. I tryed to push the fsb higher, but the computer won't start. I have a Gigabyte GA-P31-DS3L Socket 775 motherboard and memory is DDR2 667 can you guy's help me to get the CPU to run faster plz? I'm new to this so i don't really no what i'm doing.

Thanks

**Bail_w** · 10-12-2007, 11:40 PM

@Brutalis you need to do some reading regarding how to overclock a system first. Hint *STICKIES*

**jkabaseball** · 10-13-2007, 04:23 PM

i seem to be walled at 422. 420 great, 422 freezes. CPu volts at 1.45. Tried P35 and now on 680i LT SLI, and same story.

**ferjero989** · 10-14-2007, 09:29 AM

i dunno what to believe about the temp...
msi dual core center says that the temp (right now as im typing this) its 35C cpu, 34C system, 53 C video card (why the video card its so hot :S)3the cpu its at 2.799 and voltage its 1.23v, memory 1.9 pcie 1.5, 3.3 it s3.39, 5 its 5.12, 12 its 12.5
i hope this mean anything to ya to help me getting 3.2ghz on stock fan.. if its not possible then i will get that 1 u told me... mmmmmmm
i started to run the ftt stuf.. (orthos) and iits says 60... and it going up.. ok...
69-70 it is... as soon as i closed orthos it went down to 42 and it keeps going down
i guess u were right i have to get that heatsink... but what about the settings (if i wanna risk putting 3.2gh

**Brutalis** · 10-15-2007, 10:54 AM

Hey so i did some reading and got my 2160 to 2.8GHz. But when i try to run ORTHOS ( StressCPU - Gromaes Core ), my computer restarts. Anyone have any idea why it restarts?

need a lot more info than that. system details? temps? volts?

Probably because it's not stable

Try to give more Vcore.

**olDirdey** · 10-16-2007, 02:05 PM

Got a nice E2220

Max SuperPi 1M

**werty316** · 10-19-2007, 10:30 PM

I might as well throw my hat in the ring too.

I am not sure if its EVGA's new P31 BIOS for their 680i-SLI boards but I've been running my E2140 @ 3.0GHz wth the vCore set to 1.2813V for about 5 days now without any problems with a load temp of around 50ºC

Voltage vs. overall overclock is much better than my E4300 running the P27 BIOS. Maybe the P31 BIOS will help my E4300 overclock but that is another test.

**pumpahhh** · 10-21-2007, 10:22 AM

Too bad e2200 isnt in shops yet in slovenia.
I have e2140 now, i planned to buy e2180, but ill wait on e2200.

Edit: i just discovered that my e2140 goes 440fsb, stock and toothpast (yes u read right, creme for brush tooth)

Edit2: 455 fsb wall

Why are you using toothpaste?

And for those of you with stock coolers... what voltages are you giving your chips and what temp are you getting? I'm getting worried here with 1.4v at 3.1ghz seeing temps over 70*c on a recycled E6600 Copper Core cooler.

**pumpahhh** · 10-23-2007, 05:17 AM

Because i dont have money for thermal lols

Im getting about 65C with 3.0 and stock.
