E2160 Overclocking Results

[Bones82]

I started off by just jumping to a 333 FSB for a 3.0 GHZ processor speed and 667 DDRII. THis was a stock voltage of 1.21v. I then jumped the FSB up to 355 and the processor is at 3.2 Ghz. The temps are 31-32C idle and 60-63C cranked in Prime 95. I did raise the cpu voltage to 1.325v. Memory is at 1.8v. What do you guys think?

Excellent? That's 66% overclock. Congrats. :beer:

Edit: Wait, that's over 75%.

Sounds like you found the sweet spot for the E2xxx series chips along with many of us. Congrats and welcome to the club. You've just stumbled into the best price/performance and overclocking chip since the legendary celeron chips of yore that really brought the overclocking scene out of the closet.

I also have a 8800GS that is overclocking great. My 3dmark 06 went from just over 7k stock to over 11 k.

Sounds good to me.. better than my chip. I got an e2160 clocked at 2.7ghz atm (stock volts) but it loads at around 64C with the stock cooler and I don't really want to push it further tbh Plus, I'm too cheap to buy a decent cooler, so I think I can live with a 50% overclock

EDIT: Nvm, I read your sig, you have a decent cooler I'm running it off the stock intel box cooler.

Nice... I'm kinda stuck around 3.0ghz or so... Memory around 533hz at 5,5,5,15... Just started playing with it though... Might have more in it, but... Had some weird disk issues today, so I need to back off and see what's up there before I play more.

GA-ep35-ds3r mb and some g.skill PC2-8500 mem...

Well it has been rock solid so far. Good luck to everyone else.
