e2180 overclocking with p31 ds3

[synixx]

Hi, i'm looking for an easily achievable overclock with the stock cooler, on this motherboard. Any help apreciated.

E2180 overclocking on a P31 DS3 is about as easy as it gets.

Have you read the stickies?

i misread the box, it's actually a ga-p31-ds3l if that makes a difference. I'll have a read at the stickies, but currently I have it at 2.5ghz 250x10, 1.38v.

It should easily do 3ghz. Try 300*10 voltage at 1.4v

I did 3.6Ghz on 1.4v with that set up. It was a golden stepping cpu though. It's a fantastic combination for clocking though.

try:

FSB: 300
Multi: x10
pci-e locked to 100-105 (important)
Ram: Think this would be 5:6 but just whichever divider runs it at around the default speed e.g. 400mhz
vcore: try 1.4v but look to reduce this slightly in time if it is stable.

also make sure you are using the correct voltage for the RAM (VDIMM) ddr2 default is 1.8v but most RAM requires more than this to run at the advertised timings. Check on the manufactures website. The RAM might require 2.1v which would show in the bios as DDR2 volatage (VDIMM) +0.3

I have that mobo with an e2140. Managed a rock solid 3GHz with 375x8 @1.45V, +0.4V on the RAM (2x1GB OCZ stuff) with 2.50 divider (938MHz from stock 800MHz) and all on the stock cooler. Barely breaks 60C on max load (although my case probably helps, Antec P182)

If I can manage a 3GHz on an e2140 with stock cooling I wouldn't be surprised if you could manage at least a 3.4-3.6GHz with no issues at all.

I can run my E2140 @ 3.2GHz - 1.43v, currently running @ 3.0GHz - 1.35v, they are excellent CPU's. I have read somewhere that the latest E2180 aren't as clockable but 3.0GHz should still be possible.

333x10 with an AC7 is easily achievable.
