Hi,
Got an E2160 CPU at the moment, with an EVGA 650i ultra MB.
It's mounted with an Arctic Cooling Freezer and AS5 paste.
Been run in etc, used for a while.
I can't seem to get past 2.8ghz on the chip, despite different combinations of Voltages, FSB settings etc. I've also got an E2140 in the PC down the stairs at stock, I took that and installed it to see if I had any more luck.
Again, would only be stable at 2.8ghz.
The only thing I can think of is the multiplier settings.
Both have to be at 8x350mhz in order to boot. Even the E2160, which has a 9x multiplier as standard; I cannot use the 9x multi on the E2160.
Reckon it could be a chipset issue?
