E2160 @3.60GHz
- Thread starter lopri
- Start date
Some basic questions:
- since you have a E6600 running at 3.6, why not just show us the comparison in a table?
- why have 4GB on a XP 32 PC? IIRC, XP will only see 3GB.
In any case, 100% OC = Impressive!!! :beer:

The man knows what he's doing. Even has the bank cycle time (tRC) set nice and tight too... 3 + 8 = 11.
I wish I had access to that setting on my IP35-E.
nice oc, ram timings in pics 3 3 3 9 13 in sig its 3 3 3 8 11! BUSTED! jk 
nice overclock of 100% what are you keeping that cool with?

Done many times. They're identical in synthetic benches. (sans Super Pi) I install 4GB for 32-bit systems now thanks to today's RAM prices!
2 sticks are Buffalo Firestix (D9GKX) and 2 sticks are Crucial Ballistix (D9GMH) For some reason, the GKX clocks higher but GMH is more capable at 1T.
Yeah that 3-3-3-9-13 timings were left over from the setting where I was trying to get 1T to work with all 4 sticks. HSF = Scythe Andy Samurai. I now only use down-blowing HSFs unless the system is outside a case. (Obvious reason = to give some sort of air flow to the NB and VRMs)Originally posted by: jaredpace

It's bearable.

It's bearable.
use the latest coretemp for accurate measures(0.96). add 15C to current temps.
um, go ahead and try for 3.8ghz
58c on load is uber-low temp.
i bet you could hit 4ghz before you reach 80c load in orthos
Lopri is my favorite.
Nice job on the overclock. 2180 is a good buy. Want a comparison to E8500, 9770, or 9650, that is all I have left...

very nice lopri
Always a pleasure reading your posts.
Yeah, im guessing the 2180 might be a better buy now for the higher multi. But your sub70C load temps lead me to think theres a little more left out of the chip with your cooler.
But definitely something fun to drop onto. A chip sub 100 that oc's massively.

The Buffalo Firestix do not like voltages over 2.15. I just got my sticks back from Buffalo RMA and had them set to 2.20 and they died within six months. I was very surprised by that, as most 'performance' RAM goes to 2.3 and beyond, so I thought I was being safe with these. If you are over 2.2v, your RAM will die before that 2160 hellcat gives up the ghost. Now you have me interested in a 2160 chip ... just when the card was paid off ....
Micron D9 dies randomly. It doesn't appear to matter what voltage you are putting through them at the time.

AMEN to this...
Ive lost 4 pairs of crucial ram.
My current ones are at 1.95V and theres no way in hell there going to see higher. So far they been running strong since my last RMA.
But buffalo failing is scaring me. So far the only ram i have yet to hear about failure from is kingston. Even the Nvidia 680i 2.5v bug couldnt kill off a pair of kingston hyperX.
There bad overclocking ram, but im starting to think they build them like tanks.

I would also like to know what kind of HSF you are using. I assume these pentium stock HSF are pretty worthless but I could be wrong.

That's exactly how it began to be honest. I never took E2xxx series seriously from the get go. When I first learned about its low stock frequency as well as small L2, I thought E2140 would be a perfect candidate for, well, 100% OC which I've dreamed of for quite some time.Originally posted by: Alyx
That is a crazy overclock. I feel like running down to buy one just to play with and see how I can compare.
My first attempt was a miserable failure. The E2140 I purchased had a FSB wall around 350, and it wouldn't go higher no matter what. And I used to read similar reports (FSB wall of early E2xxx chips) around the web, and quickly sold my E2140.
Then a few months later while mindless walking down the local MicroCenter, I saw they had an E2140 for $59. I was like, WTH it's just $60 (and a newer stepping) - I'll give it another shot and the worst case will be I'm out by $60. Turned out, with slight voltage bump, it did 3.2GHz which was 100%. Furthermore, not only was I able to take it up to 3.4GHz stable on 680i, but I could see the chip had even more potential.
So I kinda thought;
1. These newer E2xxx's have no FSB wall unlike earlier ones.
2. They clock very well.
I went back to MicroCenter and grabbed an E2160 for $79 ($82 to be exact, including tax) and as expected, it gave me another 100% OC which is what you're seeing here (3.6GHz).
I'm not sure if the batch of E2xxx chips @MicroCenter at the time of my purchase is an exception or not, but both E2140 and E2160 were manufactured on November of last year.

Edit: The stock Scythe fan is only ~1200RPM and while it's quiet, the performance is lacking. I swapped with a ~1800RPM one with 4-pin wire.
Well, glad I have a Big Typhoon, that down blowing does make sense.
The Big Typhoon may have this same issue, time will tell. I know Serpent has a bigger fan on his BT.
Just ordered a E2180 (M0 stepping), cheaper and/or more available than the E2160. Will couple it with a Abit IP35-E, hope I can get to your 3.6GHz.
Thanks for your thread. :beer:

Those temps are wrong. Test with CoreTemp 0.96 for true temps. Nice OC though, regardless.
