Intel Core 2 Duo E2160, has anyone bought and overclocked one recently?

Im having big problems with mine and someone suggested it could be the recent batch?

Any ideas?

Thank you
 
Could be you motherboard,RAM, cooling not just the CPU.

Whats the rest of your spec?
 
Abit IP35-E (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

Antec Sonata III with EarthWatts 500W PSU

1950pro

OcUK 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C5 800MH


Temperatures are fine but clock anything above 215MHz and it wont boot.
 
Got one on Wednesday. Straight to 2.7gig on standard volts. Gigiabyte P35-DS4 mobo and crucial RAM.

Very easy overclock. Just upped the fsb to 300. Didn't touch anything else.

tried your memory on a divider and no 1:1 ?

No, can you point me to anything that explains how?.



Just booted with it set at 1.1.25 and managed to boot at 220MHZ, what would be my best ratio?


Yep sorted, thanks lads. Running at 3GHz at 48 Degrees. :D

Does that P35 board allow the 1:1 memory option with your E2160?

I'm not sure what the BIOS option is but it'll have options such as 2.0 and 2.5 etc. The 2.0 option would be 1:1.
 
iv got a e2106 runing at 3Ghz with a 1.2 divider and my ram is runing at 860Mhz my spec is e2160 Gigabyte GA_965P_DS3 and GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C5 800MHz Value DDR2

I don't think so? (at least it isn't on a P965 chipset), if you set it at 1:1 (while running 200MHz-FSB) the memory will still be running at 266MHz (DDR2-533), that appears to be the slowest it will go. Once your running a 266MHz-FSB the 1:1 ration actually works and keep working like that as you raise the FSB. . .

I have a Gigabyte G965 chipset board and it allows the 1:1 option with my E2160 (IIRC it's the System Memory multiplier and I've set it to 2.00):



As far as I know though the P35/G33 chipsets don't allow the 1:1 option with the E2160 or any 800 FSB chip but I'm looking to get that confirmed. I have also read if the 1:1 option isn't available then even when going past 266 FSB it's still not available.

Good to know thanks, my board runs the memory at 266MHz when I run a 200MHz-FSB and have 1:1 a ratio?
 
What board is it and does it show PC2-5300, PC2-6400 etc for the memory divider option or is it a multiplier value such as 2.66 for it to be at DDR533 when running a 800 FSB chip?

I've read Gigabyte P965 DS3 users have the 1:1 option with the 800 FSB CPUs so I'm surprised yours hasn't got that option too.
