Overclocking E2xxx

[ErNciLator]

Hey,

im looking to get one of these chips to overclock - which are best to go for? Are they all the same silicon just with different stock clocks?

E2180, has highest multiplier and comes with copper HSF rather than aluminium.

 

[jak731]

the e2180 has the highest multiplier, making it in theroy the easiest to get 3ghz out of.
most* will exceed 3ghz though with a good MB

*i say most not all as there is a slight chance you may get one that will not OC well or at all, this is very rare though

 

[ErNciLator]

aha what's the multiplyer on the 2180? 10x?

And yeah, as with always might get a poo clocker, also those stock copper hsf's are they any good? like the old 939 X2 ones?

 

[jak731]

the e2180 does indeed have a 10x multiplier.
for a cheap cooler the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler (Socket LGA775) will be a good choice, it will make a difference to the temps and is used by many on the forums

great! nice one, thanks guys.

Mine hit 3Ghz out the box.
Slapped a bit more voltage up it (1.32v) and its ticking away happily at 3.2Ghz with a Tuniq

Just get a cheap e2140 with the M0 revision. Mine does 3.2GHz at 1.33V.

Mine didn't, but the stock HSF is crap anyways, makes an awful sound when running fast. Strongly recommend the OCZ Vendetta, beats the freezer 7 in all the reviews where they're compared.

How do i go about overclocking mine guys?

I have read the sticky but i am a real Overclocking noob!!!! Help!!

using a Gigabyte GA-P31-DS3L, an E2180 and an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro, i have 3.3ghz no problem with 1.45v. 330 x 10 with 2x2gb of 5400 OCZ at 1:1. Does 32m Prime in a smidge over 17 minutes. Not bad for a sub £60 chip.

 

[Stonedofmoo]

Is 1.45v ok then?

Mine won't hit more than 2.8gig, anything above requires more voltage. What is safe for these chips?

Just to add to this, mine is brand new and only came with the aluminium heatsink, not the copper one the higher models get.

I got mine around 3 days ago and my heat sink came with the Aluminum Heat sink. I currently running mine at 2.6ghz on stock voltage (266 x 10) . I am waiting until Monday when i get my new ram, Geil 6400 ULL to over clock my 2180 past the 3 ghz mark!

To do that all you do is up the FSB? How far can the FSB be set to?

 

[Venares]

Currently running Orthos at 400fsb
Thats E2180 at 8 x 400 = 3.2Ghz (appears to be the wall on my cpu) and 1000Mhz on my GeIL ULL @ 2.3v.
Just as an example for you

I thought the E2180 had a 10x multiplier? Can you change the multiplier on it
