I have an e2160, Asus PK5 motherboard and ballistic pc5400 memory. My first overclock here.

Went into bios and changed the fsb to 300, set the memory to 600mhz so it's running 1:1. Gave the memory a voltage of 2.2 and the cpu 1.312. Made sure the memory is using a timing of 5-5-5-15. idle and underload temps are fine.

Ran orthos, failed in 14 seconds. Any ideas? I'm lost..
 
Got to 33 seconds this time. I don't understand :(

Changed the vcore to 1.325, orthos kept running by my cpu hit 83C :o

how can some people overclockt this cpu to 3Ghz on stock volts and cooling and I can't even get to 2.7 Ghz

Well you can't just expect to build a system and have it overclocked in 3 mins, sometimes you have to work it out and try a few different approaches. There are always loads of reasons why an overclock can fail and the one reason you *Don't* want it to be is because you have a wimpy CPU.

If those temps are right then they are too high really, what is your cooling? and is it fitted correctly?

My E2140 can run 3000MHz using 1.3500vCore but to run stable at 3200MHz it needs the volts raising to 1.400vCore.

[edit] Have you read this thread btw?

Because some people get lucky and buy really good CPU's.

Some users are very skillful and know how to tweak the cooling, and some just blow stuff up. Or melt it:eek:
