E2160@ 3.6Ghz on air...

beancooker · 03-18-08, 07:39 PM

So after some tweaking with the bios and getting the best air cooling heatsink I could find, I have her running at 3.6Ghz and stable. Ran Prime95 for 12 hours and haven't had any errors. 30ºC at idle and 63ºC at full load.

I did have to up the vCore to 1.625, but she's sitting pretty!

wow thats pretty amazing... what heatsink is it, if I may ask.

*EDIT* Sorry, just read your sig

beancooker · 03-18-08, 07:48 PM

Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme.

pejsaboy · 03-18-08, 08:43 PM

wow, that's pretty hot on the voltage. You gonna run that as your 24/7 speed?

=ACID RAIN= · 03-18-08, 08:49 PM

Good Lord, that vcore is crazy haha....

Nice overclock though!

Brolloks · 03-18-08, 08:58 PM

Sweet man, I thought mine at 3.2 and 1.5 was all it has, I guess a bit more v-juice will take it all the way.

Nice OC

ChinStrap · 03-18-08, 09:58 PM

true overclocking. theres an avatar around here somewhere that says my $80 CPU > then your $200 CPU

i think for a project im going to do something like this.

good job man!

MadMan007 · 03-18-08, 10:10 PM

63C load is actually pretty damn good for that speed and especially that voltage? Winter ambients helping you out?

Otherwise very nice but personally I'd lower the vCore for 24/7, I'd be worried about degrading the chip over time with that much.

beancooker · 03-18-08, 10:57 PM

With the vCore lower, it's not stable. I won't be running it 24/7, since it will probably crap out in 1/2 the time. I was just really wanting to get a 100% overclock that was stable, and didn't require water. I am still a n00b, and have a fear of watercooling.

Just a personal achievement, that's all.

RockerGuy · 03-19-08, 11:08 AM

Wow, thats amazing man. It makes me feel like if I wasted my money on a e6750

But I guess I have a bigger cache

MadMan007 · 03-19-08, 07:57 PM

Plus an extra 64 megahurtzzz!!11

I most likely got lucky. The wafer that my proc was made from might have been well above par for the proc. Like I said in a different thread, my buddy's has the same proc and mobo, and couldn't get his passed 3.2, so you didn't waste any money.

Dermen · 03-20-08, 02:14 AM

Nice temps, I can run my e2180 at 3.45 with low 1.5v but my temps are at 67 load. I'm going to remount my Thermalright Ultra-120A tomorrow with the correct springs to see if it helps. I got sent short springs and didn't want to wait to install the new stuff so I rigged the mounting temporarily.

Hopefully it helps my temps, if not the IHS isn't soldered so I may try removing it.

I have also seen that avatar.

hye just join the forums..
beancooker may i ask u what type of power supply that u using for now?

Kuroimaho · 03-20-08, 06:09 AM

That's sick, mine could only do 3.4G. Well done.

dsb1829 · 03-20-08, 01:46 PM

Highest clock on air that I have seen with this chip. Very nice

500w. It came in a Raidmax case that I used to have.

Smitty1258 · 03-23-08, 05:38 AM

3.7 on a 2180 I have, Ill post the screens later today. I think I can get 3.8 with it as well, only downside is the 1mb cache

cabose1227 · 03-23-08, 11:40 PM

Nice oc man, I have a 100% oc on my e2140.
