anyway.. i have owned all of them. imo the best oc'er is the 2140. dont get a 2200 its a waste on money imo they (i had 3) done oc as well as the lower ones and the added cost while minimal is not worth it. they also ran hotter than the rest.

the 2180 i tested 4 different batches and i have one sitting here also unopened i have not tried yet. the highest they really liked on air was 3.0-3.2 while one did 3.4 but im not sure how stable it was i didnt run it to hard. i used it like that for a week and never had a issue or a bsod though. i only had one 2160 and it did about the same as the 2140 but the 2140 is cheaper...

all of my 2140's did at least as well as the rest and i had 2 of them up to 3.4-3.6...on air... stable. imo if i was buying another one of this line i would grab a 2140.
wow that's great that you got to test them all. the difference between all of these is the multiplier. so with this in mind, cant i just get a e2220 and lower the multiplier down to 8 to be equivalent of the e2140? then will it have the same OCing potential or does it not work that way? this is so i would have a high multiplier to start out with, with the option of going lower if i want to, whereas the e2140 is already capped at 8x multiplier
