Gt thats voltage is a tad high, have you tried lower?
I'm at 1.2875 @ 3ghz stable 10hrs, idle temps 38/38 with tat at the moment.

I'm also getting temps of 38/39 idle at 3ghz. Not even lapped the chip yet 
guys have a quick question,
have a e2140 and overclocked it a bit to 2700mhz @ 1.272v in cpuz and set @1.3v in bios
my question is about temps, i am getting two totally different reading from different programs.
Intel thermal Ananalysis Tool (all @ idle)
cpu0 45
puc1 48
using speed fan
cpu0 28
cpu1 31
cpu 41
so which is right? also asus pc probe II gives me cpu as 40
using stock cooler which is terrible i know, but why the discrepancies and which his more correct?
thanks

I thought the same with my temps at first but tat gives the correct reading along with core temp.
Your temps do seem high, what cpu fan you using? If its the stock one then id advise on buying a better one when overclocking.
What about case fans, have you got good air flow?
Failing the above you could try re-seating the heatsink along with some decent thermal paste.
Whats your temps with tat on full load?

Hi
yeah using the cheap plastic (aluminum) heat sink that you get with retail package. I dare try to try full load as temps will jump into the 70-80s.
will need to get better heat sink, using AS5 so that should not be a problem.

If your overclocking don't skimp on the HSF as you will get much better clocks and a lot better cooling, the standard HSF from intel are fine if you stay at stock.
Even the artic freezer 7 is not a bad cooler for the price but theres better out there if youve got the cash to spend.
The AS5 is better than the standard paste supplied but the MX-1 which is cheaper has proven to reduce temps 2-3 degrees more than AS5.

Can anyone tell me if this is normal.
If i sit ther and watch my rated FSB in CPUZ it fluctuates from 1519.9mhz to 1520.1mhz, is the vdroop that i keep hearing about?
On a different matter i tried to push my chip to 3200mhz but wouldnt boot so i upped the vcore to 1.300 in bios and it booted however totally unstable.
I bet i could get it running on 1.35 but to bve honest i don't need it, might give a try over the weekend.
Would be nice to know my limit.

Hmm might have a go at some higher clock tonight. I've replaced all my fans in the Antec 180 case + put 2 fans push pull on my Noctura, lapped in the CPU and put some artic mx stuff on a couple of weeks ago. But I've been using it at 3ghz since then with 1.375v set in the mobo (use it as a media center now so the yate fans are all set to silent mode )
I did have it up at 3.2ghz before doing all this.
Is there any decent temp programs that run in Vista x64? TAT and CoreTemp don't seem to work.

Nope, vDroop is when the vCore 'droops' when the processor is running at full load, i.e: you set 1.35v in the BIOS but only get 1.3v showing in windows . . .Garyj881 said:
1.35vCore is normal voltage anyway, so you are undervolting your chip if using anything less.Garyj881 said:

Well i tried 8 x 400 @ 1.35 but wouldnt boot, it kept cycling in the boot pattern and kept retstarting, so i had to reset the cmos and then tried 1.4 and yet again the same problem.
Should i try 1.45?, i'm at 8 x 380 = 3040mhz [1.2875 bios], ram at 760mhz and my temps are quite nice at 35/35 idle, 52/52 full load (orthos) & 59/59 full load(tat).
I might just stay at current clock as it's fast enough for me.

Thanks for changing your sig to green Gary!Garyj881 said:
My eyes couldn't take much more of that red mate!!!
Literally needed sunglasses!
Your temps @ 3ghz are good too mate. I get just over 60 on 100% TAT and that's with my 120 Extreme!

Ended up with one of these today and I'm very impressed for £57 How things have changed, just over a year ago we were thinking Opteron 165's were bargain chips at £230+
Just doing a quick test. It wouldnt boot over 3.2Ghz with stock volts so Ive increased to 1.4v in bios 1.384v actual.

Ill leave it running overnight

@ GT, yes mate thought as much.
Devious i would allways trust your bios for the voltage rather than any software program, for one its allways higher so in that way youre not bumping up the voltage up more than you think.
Nice overclock though whats tat say about your temps
What memory your running, nice timings.

Personally if I was really worried about volt reading I wouldn't trust bios or monitoring software. (Diamond Flower International users are well aware of this particular issue and I'm sure there are others in the same boat)
The only way you can rest assured is to find the voltage test points on your particualr motherboard and check the moitoring software results against a digital multimeter. If there is a descrepancy use monitoring tool that allows you to offset the sesor results to reflect the proper values.
Its not a good idea to assume that someone else result will be the same as yours as every motherboards individual components creates voltage differences, you must do the check on your own setup.
