E2180 OC help

James J · 5 Jan 2008 at 00:10

right currently prime95ing the following

300x10
1.38v vdrooped to 1.35v -.- lol
RAM 1:1 divider (600) with slack timings (5-5-5-18)

Currently at 42C under load so heat defo isnt the problem, will see how stable it is.

You are aiming way too low IMO dude.

hey im no pro when it comes to this, had major problems getting it stable at even this clock yesterday so trying this one out first. My board seems to hate FSB changes over 300 so im trying to see what I can safely get to without going well into it as i havent go much free time atm

E2180 with Abit IP35 (not pro) - what would you suggest?

Tempts are 44C under full load atm lol so ive got abit of room temp wise

Sorry to hijack your thread James, got a question for everyone. I'm currently running my 2180 at 3Ghz, 300*10. My Ram is on a divider, i think 5/6 I'm not entirely sure since it's at uni and i'm on my laptop. Is it better running at 1:1, dropping the multi and raising the fsb to something higher to keep the 3ghz oc? What would I need for a 1:1 at 3Ghz?

James J · 5 Jan 2008 at 00:37

alright trying different approach...

350x9 = 3150
1.42v

RAM still 1:1

edit LOL @ vista, thinks its 3.5ghz on the welcome screen hehe. Checked with CPU-Z and its defo 3150 with 350FSB

Right keeping the RAM at 1:1 divider (with no 25 etc after it) has definately given the overclocking a real boost now. Im currently downloading, running 3 programs and prime95ing it at 3.15ghz atm and its at 46C under full load ^^

Okay just been playing UT3 on these settings which is the game I have the biggest problems with and its fine

Will try for higher 2moro

Give it a burst of Orthos to check those temps. Prime only uses 1 core.

Again mate, it depends on the program version.

v25.5 can spawn 4 threads for quad cores.

I think Orthos will generate more heat than Prime.

was probably the RAM being overclocked too far then

Orthos is Prime just with a fancy interface IIRC?

Nice one with the o/c. I'm currently deciding whether to O/C mine futher... 3Ghz at 1.28v and 50oC loaded! They are nice chips though!!

James J · 5 Jan 2008 at 19:03

Cant push it past 3.2ghz as my board wont accept anything over 355 FSB nor will it do 1.44v properly. Currently stable at 3.15ghz at 1.41v, 1.37v MCH, 2.1V RAM (geils default) VTT at 1.2375v and CPU GTT at 67%

James J · 5 Jan 2008 at 19:36

Can post at 3.4ghz at 1.46v but cant get into windows

Vegetarian · 5 Jan 2008 at 19:49

I cant get anymore than 2950mhz with my new e2180 M0 stepping

Ive got geil value 6400 which may be the problem?

James J · 5 Jan 2008 at 20:05

my max is defo 3.15ghz as anything above it at any voltage doesnt work and crashes the system. Set your RAM at 1:1 with none of the 15/25/50 garbage after it and slowly raise the FSB. When you get near 300 FSB drop your multiplier and raise your vcore upto around 1.42v and MCH to 1.37 as thats what mine is at and its rock solid. Good luck mate

That RAM is more than fast enough for an E2180.
An E2180 at 3.33ghz (333fsb default) x 10 Multi will have your Mem running well below its 400 FSB
