Xeon E3110 overclocking success

[Zap]

This box labeled "server" showed up last week.

Overclock results.

Board is an Asus P5K-VM. Is that voltage correct? Even running Orthos, the heatsink barely feels warm so I think it's right. 1.208v at 3.825GHz. It easily POSTs 4GHz+ but CPU#1 fails Orthos right away. May be okay on more volts, but increasing it in BIOS doesn't do anything. Using latest 0407 BIOS.

3DMark06 CPU score of 3552.

This replaced an E4500 that was running toasty at 3.03GHz.

I was suprised when I opened up the Xeon box... was like "WTF did they put a Celeron 420 heatsink in here by accident?" I guess it's so that it can work in a 2U case - the heatsink is only around an inch tall.

heat sink is small by design. it does get hot above 1.38 vcore, or 4.1ghz - that's where aftermarket cooling should come in handy. Nice oc for stock volts.

My E8400 came with that little HSF as well. I'm using an E6400 HSF instead. Need the same vCore as yours for 3.6GHz on 780i.. Ugh.

Nice mine will be here Monday so I'm happy about that =) The heatsink is tiny? That's a huge plus for me! I have an e2140 I'm putting into my htpc and I wanted a small heatsink, the small stocker will be great!
