Hey there ! New to this forums and OCing in general. Under funny circumstances i got my hands on pretty oldish parts as stated in the topic header. E2160 with M0 Revision and stepping D and a GA-P35-DS3L Rev1 board. And i was really surprised how people push this to a limit far beyond 1.8GHz
I was able to clock this CPU as high as 3GHz without any problems with the following settings:
FSB : 333MHz
Multi: 9x
PCI-E = 100
RAM Multi: 2 which brings it to 667 / 677 and FSBRAM 1:1 which according to what i've read somewhere is kind of obligatory for OCing.
Since my memory is 4x Kingmax 667MHz DDR2 modules with stock timing of 5-5-5-15 i've pushed them to 4-4-4-12 and according to specs this should run on 2.1V (I also read @ _http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=252&num=3 that Phoronix ppl were able to push them 3-3-3-8 at 2.30V or run them at DDR2-850MHz - 5-5-5-15 - 2.30V ) so i've upped voltage like so:
DRAM = +0.3V
MCH = +0.1V (not sure what it stands for, but i've seen people bumping this by the smallest possible increment)
FSB = +0.1V
PCI-E = Normal
Vcore = 1.3V (my mobo got vdrops, so under load this gets me stock voltage of 1.248V and 1.264 while idleing)
Torture Test in ORTHOS ran for 5 h, 4 min 31 sec - 0 errors, 0 warnings. http://i46.tinypic.com/f9lf20.png
This looks pretty stable, cause the system is still very responsive even under 100% load. I also ran it through OCCTPT for an hour and it didn't fail.
Temp readings are:
33-35C idle
55-62C load
Mobo's at 46-48C however my NB gets hot (i mean really hot!) but i guess since this mobo is able to run CPUs with 1333MHz FSB i'm still good ...
I left Speedstep on cause i won't be using it under 3GHZ constantly, u know, and what i've noticed is that speedstep uses only the highest and the lowest multiplier leaving out 7x and 8x for no reason (or is it just me who's retarded not seeing it )
Any suggestions you guys could give me ? Really inexperienced in this matter so i'm asking for some clarifications here. Am i good to go with this kind of settings or i have to tweak something ?
Oh and ..
P.S. Sorry if my English' sux, it's not my mother tounge.
