e2140 possible OC on ASUS p5e vm hdmi?!??!

[tom4208]

this cpu can goto 3.12ghz (100x oc) my specs are Asus p5e vm hdmi,e2140 4,50w psu, 8gb ddr2 800mhz... trying to get to 3.0ghz from 1.6... black screen overclocking failed after certain fsb limit is reached, bios settings i can change,,,
cpu ratio setting [auto,][8.0max]
fsb strap to north bridge [auto] 200mhz,266,333 max
fsb frequency [333]max i could go before black screen (max is 800 in settings)
pcie frequency [auto] (100 to near 200)
dram frequency [auto] 533,667,800mhz max
dram timing control [loads of settings] my ram sticker has 5-5-5-18
clock over charging mode [auto] (0.70,0.80,0.90,1.00v)
cpe spread sprectrum [auto]
pcie spread sopectrum [auto]
Cpu voltage [auto] min reccomended for this cpu is (0.85-to max 1.5v)
cpu voltage reference [auto]
cpu voltage dampner [auto]
pll voltage [auto]
dram voltage[auto] my ram sticker says 1.9v
fsb termination voltage [ auto] north bridge voltage [auto] north bridge voltage reference [auto]

help with settings to change these to for fastest possible stable overclock?
or any software apart from XTU for overclocking.

This will not help you needs but.. you can buy a quad cose CPU for about £9

Those cpu's are awesome overclockers and I had a E2140 that did 3.6Ghz in a Asus P5 Pro Turbo. Don't use XTU, do it properly in the bios. The board itself is capable of fsb's of 450 and more. The cpu isn't though. The board also suffers from terrible vdroop so the voltage you enter in the bios will be much less at the cpu. It's so bad that the guys over at Hardforum found that 1.70v vcore set in the bios was only a actual 1.48v vcore!! Take vcore off auto for a start. You are probably going to need in excess of 1.45v vcore to get to 3.6Ghz but it should be possible. Looking at my notebook that I have all my settings written down in I used the following settings for a E2140 @3.6Ghz - 8x450, 1.472v. You really need to get in the bios to properly overclock on socket 775 as it takes a lot of fine tuning to find the max overclock. Sadly the days of proper overclocking like that are now gone (sigh) and all you have to change these days are a couple of values or click on a button. There is a very good thread with lots of results for this board here.
