Hi Cob

Is there any benefit in doing this?

If u are overclocking and the pc adjusts the voltage/ speeds that u are running could make system unstable. Its just one of those things that universally accepted that it would be best left turned off while overclocking. If its stable with *your* overclock which you already determined (with the settings off), thats a different matter altogether.

I just slipped that tip in as its just one of those basic rudimentary tips that can't hurt to turn off especially while testing a new CPU.

As mentioned hes got Speedstep and C1E enabled and he already stoped orthos so it would change the multi down to 6
takes me 18.7 to do super pi @3.2ghz so doubt that 2ghz would do it in 20

Doesn't seem to be what Cob is saying below? Which is why a possed the question?

I've always turned mine off and left them that way tbh :)

Disable them when overclocking, but you can turn them back on when you've finished.

I have Speedstep and C1E enabled on my E2140 @3.45ghz without any isues.

I'm building a 956P DS3 with a E2140 under an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro this week so I'll be posting back what it can do later this week :)

TBH I'll be happy with 3ghz anything else will be a bonus

as far as i can tell, the OC seems stable... no crashes, no random BSODs, nothing suspicious... but then i have't used the PC all that much today... i think i'll just leave them on, seeing as i don't really want to tweak the settings any more if it's not necessary... 'sides, call me conservative, but i somehow don't like the idea of the PC running at full pelt constantly...

good luck tweakinfreak... i have the ACF7, and it does wonders, so you ought to enjoy it as well ^^
 
Hi guys

Built a cheap system with a E2140 @ 3.0ghz and an Artic Freezer Pro cooler + AS5 paste

Idle it's 39 and under load it's 58/9 is that too warm do we think?

That's with the case cover off atm, I think I may have used a wee bit too much AS5??

Whats your thoughts?

Well there only there to save electricity....so unless your a fan of higher electricity bills then you may aswell switch them back on.

What volts are you running that at ?
 
that seems high... my '60 idles at arouind 27/30 and capped off in Orthos at 56, usually around 55... @ 1.425V and FSB 333, everything else Auto now... same cooler as you as well

i have limited experience OCing, though, so be warned

Yeah I thought is seemed a bit on the high side tbh, I some other paste here I may try a bit of that instead of the AS5 as the first time I went to use it what looked like oil came out where it had seperated over time?

I just took it off and applied AS5 again and I still have the same temp :(
