E2160 Overclocking Results

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?
 
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.
 
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...
