p5k-e and E2140

ok, so i have this, and i went to jumper free settings

i set the RAM to 4-4-4-12 at 2.1v as stated by the spec (corsair pc6400 C4 XMS2)

then i set the FBS to 300, from 200 and upped the CPU voltages to 1.35 and the NB voltages to 1.4

everything else is set to auto, i can boot into safemode of vista but not vista.

and CPUZ says my fbs: DRM is 3:4 how do i set it to 1:1?

Set the DRAM Frequency to the lowest setting to try to get 1:1, and leave the memory timings on Auto til you've finished clocking the CPU.

That chip should do atleast 3ghz on stock CPU volts btw.

cob is right he thought me how to overclock

shaffaaf27 · 27 Apr 2008 at 11:06

in CPUZ its saying the CPU voltages are at 1.328 and then on load to 1.312...not the 1.35 set in the bios, is this correct?

That'll be vdrop and vdroop. Google can explain it far better than i can.

shaffaaf27 · 27 Apr 2008 at 12:01

ok

my Vcore is 1.35 (showing as 1.312 in load) and VNB is 1.25 the next setting is 1.4, should i bumb it then.

underload, and 300FBS i am bsoding after a few minutes.

ok i upped the Vcore to 1.365 and its running stable

with NB at 1.25 and 1:1 memory

should i touch the PLL?

I would leave it for the meantime. You shouldn't really have to touch the chipset voltages for an E2140.

shaffaaf27 · 27 Apr 2008 at 17:18

ok. well i got it to E2140 with just the cpu V on 1.328V onload to 2.8 should i go higher and try to get it to 3.2? what would be a safe voltage, becuase right now, with my Artic cooling freezer 7 pro im hitting 50C on load.

Cob · 27 Apr 2008 at 17:27

50c is fine. Anything upto ~70c in Orthos or OCCT is fine with those chips.

I would certainly go for 400x8. The chip's capable of over 3.4ghz.
