How about this for a CPU overclock?

E214036Ghz.jpg



A 1.6Ghz E2140 with a massive 2Ghz overclock. 125%!!!! Quite chuffed actually. 1.472v vcore is a bit much but it was only to carry out some benchies to update my E5200 thread. Did'nt crash once. Temps were getting a bit high under Linx stress testing but not too bad. 62 degrees is very high for my water cooling rig though. It would'nt have done it on air. The best thing is that it only cost me £18 off the bay a couple of months ago. :D:D:D
 
For all the wise guys, :p.

Far Cry, in fact most of the games you see there, are installed just for benching to update my E5200 thread with full E2140 and E8500 benchies. Anybody can just look at it now and see if the upgrade they were thinking of is worth it over what they already have. Well, dual core anyway as it will now cover E2000/E4000/E5000/E6000/E8000 series cpu's.

Anyway, the original Far Cry is far superior to the pathetically poor Far Cry 2. I have never played such a boring repetetive game in my life. Gave up after 50%.

Winrar is installed by the way. Just because there's no shortcut on the desktop does'nt mean it's not on the pc. ;)

I reckon it would do more. Maybe 4Ghz even. It seems to love fsb. 450mhz compared to my E5200 that hates anything above 300!! I am not trying for any more in my rig. I have never seen anything hit 62 degrees with my watercooling setup before. My E8500 only hit's 42 degree's under load. Anyway it's back in it's box now while i decide what to do with it.

450Mhz is nothing for the board. It easily does at least 520mhz. Or did you mean the cpu? I certainly did'nt expect it to do much more than 400mhz on the fsb.

That's a great overclock :)

OT but what's the highest stable (IBT/Prime95 etc) CPU overclock on the forums, as 125% is pretty dam high?

I have a pathetic 57% :(

Have'nt a clue. Probably someone with a phase unit. 57% is'nt so bad depending on the cpu. My E8500 does 4.5Ghz which is fantastic but that's not even a 50% overclock.
