I never knew there were so many trolls on this board so this is for the trolls.

10x v. 9x for the 2160.

You set the FSB to 340 and the CPU voltage to 1.425v, et voila - 3.4GHz. Of course you can get ~4GHz fwith a few more tweaks and aftermarket cooling. Not bad for $89.

Bad Math!!!

Yes the E2180 is $89, so where do I get the FREE Abit IP35-E with AM HSF???

Are you an idiot or just a troll.

A good E2160 or E2180 should top out around 3.4GHz. That's well within the working range of IP35-E. Quality 1.8V DDR2 667 should be able to hit 380MHz with only 2.0Vdimm and 5-5-5-15-2T timing.

Yeah! And what about the free case and PSU and memory and monitor and video card and hdd?? $89 for 4Ghz is just plain misrepresenting the facts man!

ROFL 4ghz...

People think this number is so easy to obtain..

Maybe on a Pentium - D. But on a C2D anything north of 3.8ghz is VERY VERY VERY difficult.

Thanks again to linskingdom over at overclock.net for this post.

Here are the results and settings up to 3.9GHz

"You can spend hours or days to figure out the max fsb or push OC to another limit but it seems to me that E2180 performs very well when fsb sets to between 350 and 360."

Not 4Ghz but a stable 3.5GHz for $89 on stock cooler using DDR2-6400 800MHz (4-4-4-12) and your ip35-e.

Quite a budget build.

Another troll, how amusing - crawl back under your bridge.

Thats a great bargain. Dual cores? 3.5 ghz? Still no core 2 duo, but I'm in.

Although I admit I've somewhat of an AMD fan, I still think Intel is owning in this generation.

and maybe you didnt notice that the link you gave us wasnt 100% stable at 3.9ghz

It says

FAILED ER/CPU Queen
FAILED 3DMARK06

CPU Voltage at 1.52V


ummmm... maybe you should stop calling other people trolls and become one yourself? Please stop passing BS rumors about a chip which has already shown to max out at 3.4- 3.5ghz stable.

Its a great budget chip, but i highly doubt anyone will get that oc on AIR and 100% stable over long periods of time.

Also we all learned you can never take a review at 100% Im still trying to figure out how anand pulled off 3.76ghz on a QX6700 B3 with air.


In short, unless YOU can reproduce the overclock, please dont tell people its possible. Becase its very very difficult to get the results you claim.

Actually I was poking fun at that 21stHermit post. I think your sarcasm meter is broken.

Interesting read though, even though the 4Ghz wasn't stable.

almost reminds me of my earily Q6600 B3 posts when i said most of them could do 3.6ghz with good cooling. Ummmm.. Had to quickly change that statement to MOST PEOPLE WITH mid to Top tier h2o cooling can do 3.6ghz stable.

I've tried a couple E2180 MO procs in the last 2 weeks and neither were stellar overclockers. With 4GB of ram I was able to hit 3.1GHz at 1.41V with one chip and 1.42V with the other. Anything below those voltages resulted in P95 failing. This is with excellent case air flow and a Gemini II with 2 120x38 Sanyo Denki fans. Either the E2*** series procs can't handle 4GB that well or the newer stock aren't all that great.

Just thought I'd chime in for those considering one of these chips.

were not trolls. Were only very realistic.

You went off claiming originally a 89 dollar chip paired with a 100 dollar motherboard with an aftermarket air heat sink will allow you to get 4ghz.

well, the review you linked us to had problems getting to 3.9ghz

also, it mentions nothing about 4ghz. Your passing rumors telling all the people to go out and grab a 89 dollar processor so they can get 4ghz.

ummmm... who sounds like the troll now?

 

[MarcVenice]

Simple question, is it realistic to run a e2180 @ 3.5ghz using the stock HSF ? What temps do we get like that ?

From my quick testing of a couple E2180s, you'd have to get a very good one to hit 3.5Ghz, especially with the stock heatsink. I needed ~1.42V to be Prime stable at 3.1GHz with good aircooling. I imagine for most of the available chips you'd need 1.55V or so to hit 3.5GHz. That's just a guesstimate, but these MO E2180s don't seem to be clocking as well as they were hyped up to.

 

[SerpentRoyal]

E21x0 and E4xx0 are basically the same chip. E4xx0 runs a little hotter. Nominal 3.2GHz. A good chip can hit 3.6-3.7GHz with 1.5Vcore and very good CPU cooler. Note that these CPUs will top out around 425MHz FSB.

 

[bryanW1995]

most mobos have trouble with 4gb ram still. are you using the latest bios? have you tried your oc with just 2gb?

@op: I've seen many posts by the people on this thread. None of these guys are trolls. Don't post bs on here and expect others to treat it as fact. The e2180 is a great budget chip as it really is, it doesn't need any "help".

 

[demiurge3141]

still think 2140 is a better deal at $59.

It isn't if you're wanting a high overclock, because it's multiplier is too low.

My E6400 has the same 8X multiplier and I managed a 1000MHz+ overclock. That's not a high overclock? Whatever...

So, you barely made 3.2 Ghz, huh? Too bad you don't have a 9x multiplier.:laugh:

edit: Besides, can a budget build actually include PC8500? That's an oxymoron, if I ever saw one.

it's 30% cheaper for 10% less performance.

I'm using the IP35-E with bios 13. I'll try it with 2GB and see if it improves things at all. My XBX2 handled 4GB pretty well. It only dropped the oc on my QX6700 by 100Mhz going from 2GB to 4GB.

Anyone else have experience with the IP35-E and 4Gb of ram?

 

[SerpentRoyal]

No problem here. Four Kingston N5 DDR2 800 modules with 2.1Vdimm and 576MHz RAM speed @ 5-5-5-15-2T. VTT, NB, SB, and GTLREF at default.
