im new to overclocking, i just upgraded to an E2160 and gigabyte mobo GA-P31-DS3L and GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency.

playing about with my clocks i am currently getting E2160 @3077ghz & 1.36v and getting 64C. i am intending to improve my cooling but for now im wondering why i cant boot my pc when i set my mobo bios to 3080 or above. it pauses booting then boots up with the clocks set to default ie 1800ghz and 1.3v.

what can i do to increase my clock speed and my mbo will still boot with these settings?
 
you have the same motherboard as me, and it undervolts horrendously.

In bios, I have it set to 1.5vcore, and it'll provide 1.41 at load.
So, as an estimate, you're currently running at ~1.27volts.

You need to up your volts, but to do so, you need to get better cooling ;)
 
ahah..

You're running a 9x multi, which means your fsb is at 341..
I'm running 10x multi @ 3.4ghz, which is also 341 fsb..
mine Also wont go past this fsb, so it's more than likely that there's an fsb hole on this board after 341.

Try jumping by 10mhz.. ie, try 9x350, and then 9x360 and so on, see if it'll get past the fsb hole :)

I know the mobo goes past 341, as I've run mine @ 8x400 before, but put it back to 10x multi as the e2180 can go higher than the board allows at 8x.

i tried the 9 x 350 and 9 x 360 but still no joy and upped the voltage to 1.5v
 
It should do it..

What're your Ram settings?
When you go into BIOS, press ctrl-f1 to get advanced ram options :)
 
Add 0.1/0.2v to the FSB/MCH options :)

After that, you're running out of options :/

How often are the e2160's meant to get >3ghz?
