New E2180

[BAMBI]

The E2180 was launched 4 days ago apparently on a new M0 stepping for better overclocking.
2Ghz core speed otherwise identical to E2140 & E2160.

Anyone tried to overclock one yet?

Gibbo when does OCuk start selling them?

Is this the one with 10x multi?

Got a source for the new stepping? I was gonna go for the E2140 but if this is going to be cooler when OC'ed I think it's worth paying the few ££s extra that it costs.
The 1-2 places that I've seen them on sale at have them almost as cheap as the 2160s, so I suspect there might be a small price cut at the lower-end chips.

Hi All,

Just ordered mine yesterday for a little over £55 including delivery, should be here in a day or two hopefully.
I have been waiting to try out this cpu ever since I first heard about it - 10x multi ()

I'm going to be overclocking it on my msi p6n sli platinum motherboard, I wanted a higher multi to put less strain on the northbridge. I currently have have the e6300 at 3 GHz. I would like to go a bit higher with less heat generated with the new e2180.

Thanks for reading .

From a UK-based company, I assume?
Make sure you post your results!

These chips look good for 3.8ghz

These chips look good for 3.8ghz

Got any links? If I can find some hard evidence for that, I think I've found an excellent replacement for my L629B E6300 that's held back by a 7x multi

You assume correct .

I just said they look good as there has been some E2160 @ 3.6ghz on air.

Saw this recently too. The E2180 is M0 only, there isn't a L2 version, and it's available at lots of etailers already.

 

[waso_dude]

Is the M0 a good clocking chip? or would a l2 be betteR?

 

[str]

Seen only a few results so far but they've been very good. The M0 stepping is the latest revision so is likely to be consistently good.

Indeed, the price of the e2160 is supposed to drop and the e2140 will cease production.
