Hi, just after a bit of help getting passed 3.0Ghz on my e2140.
I don't really know what to do to get it any higher, i've upped all the voltages to what i think are safe but i can't get it to post passed 380 fsb and any higher than 375 fails orthos in less than 10 seconds.
I was really hoping for a 100% overclock :(

System Spec.
e2140 currently @ 3.0Ghz - Revison L2
Asus P5K Deluxe Wifi
OCZ Gold XTC Rev2 800Mhz
OCZ StealthXStream 600watt
AC Freezer 7 Pro
Antec 900

A few pics with more info.

Up your CPU Voltage to 1.4v. And disable CPU Spread Spectrum if it allows you to.
 
ok, cpu voltage is @ 1.4 showing 1.368 in CPU-Z and 1.344 orthos load in CPU-Z.
Bumped up the fsb to 380 ran orthos for about 10 mins and didn't fail in that time which is better than before, then i tried the fsb @ 385 but wouldn't boot into windos :(
Also my temps are roughly the same. Anything else i can try to go higher? I was hoping for more than an extra 40mhz lol.
 
Well you've already got 1.4ghz extra. Not many people can say that. Just keep adding CPU voltage whilst keeping the Orthos temps under 65-70c.

You'll probably need to set DRAM Voltage to 2.1v. Tho that won't help the CPU overclock atm.
 
Ok will do and thanks for your help :D

*Edit*
Upped the cpu voltage all the way to 1.45 and it didn't make a difference, i guess i should stop being so greedy and be happy with what i got :P
Do you think running my ram @ 900mhz would be alright? Because running it 1:1 with my cpu was making it run slower than it rated speed and
900mhz is the next step up, will it cope at this speed?
