E21xx M0?

[chevmaro]

Which of the E21xx series is a M0 stepping? I think I remember reading all the 2160 and 2180 are M0. Is that correct? What about the E2140 how do I tell if its M0 or not?

 

[clickynext]

I believe only 2180 are guaranteed M0 stepping.

For 2140, if the product code ends with SLA93, then it's M0. If it's SLA3J then it's L2.

 

[chevmaro]

The only problem is how can you tell the code before you buy it? Is anyone out there selling gauranteed M0's?

 

[slightlyhuman]

got my e2140 from newegg last week. had m0 stepping.

at 3.2ghz stable now.

These chips will top out around 425MHz FSB, regardless of CPU multi. 6xx0 CPUs are good up to about 490-500MHz FSB.

425MHz FSB on air? How about sub-zero cooling? Possible to reach 500MHz with sub-zero cooling on E21XX chips?

So this being true it might be the best to get the E2180 for the higher multi and garunteed M0. Sound good?

Just built a machine for my parents with an E2140 from mwave, it's an M0. That thing is incredible, I put it on 2.8Ghz since they only got a 350W PSU. And this chip only need 1.25v to reach that 2.8Ghz, from the feel of it, I can do a lot more with a quality PSU. Gonna get a nice 500W later and put this over 3.

Nope. These chips appear to hit a FSB wall @ 425MHz. You'll need a 10x or higher multi to assault the 4.0GHz barrier.

Very few will break 3.4GHz on air, regardless of stepping or CPU multi. Start out with a quality board and RAMs that hit 425MHz and you should be in good shape if you have a good E2140 chip.

I run my E4300 @ 3.49GHz with 1.465Vcore using Antec SP350! Orthos and S&M heat stable.

sounds good, but I had a bad exp with a burnt PSU before that took a few things with it, nah, I don't feel comfy OCing on that SP350 of theirs esp. that I can get a nice quality model for cheap. But good to know yours running well on it.

Actual load is under 200 watts.

im running a M0 E2140 @ 3.2ghz on air, stock HSF, idles at 30/30 flat. 3.2 seems to be the ideal speed right now, everytime i try to go higher the system just crash.

 

[lyssword]

I just ordered e2140 yesterday on newegg, I hope I get SLA chip

 

[mjavid]

What MB are you using?

M Javid

 

[GundamF91]

The newer E2140 seem to be M0 now. I ordered one from Microcenter, hope it's a M0.

Heh I wouldn't go for a big overclock if i'm building for someone else. Potential stability issues/heat outweights a bit of benefit.
