Just bought a e2160 and a Asrock 4quad VSTA.

Cheap little entrance to c2d really, will be running on that over the summer and demoting it to a server or a media centre when I'm back to uni I imagine.

Got it ordered on a really slow delivery though, could be here next monday at the latest :p

Let me know how you get on with that. I assume you have pc3200 ram? maybe we can put our heads together to get decent clocks. So far, i've just put my FSB up to 290 and my ram is running at 181Mhz...i'd like to get my ram closer to 200Mhz though. What HSF are you using? I bought an AC Freezer 7 and under orthos full load, my CPU has never gone over 58 degrees.

Anyhow, letus know how you get on with that combination....also, what video card do you have?

The stuff I've bought will be replacing the Xeon3210, Asus P5B and Ram that are currently in my sig. I'm selling them to a mate part exchanging with some of his stuff.
Will be using some OCZ DDR, until I get the Ballistix DDR2 set I want to get.

My current heatsink will be sold along with the above gear, but I've got a Zalman 9500 I'll likely use, may even use the stock heatsink ;)

At the end of the summer I'll buy a new high end rig (ie after the price drops in particular) I'll still be using my 8800gts through the summer unless I have reason to sell.
Eventually this gear will be demoted to a server or something like that.
 
That seems to be the max I can get it to post at...

Thinking a limitation on the mobos FSB.[/QUOTE]



What motherboard are you using?
 
Ive got the 965p-DS3 coming to go with my Crucial Ballistix pc5300.Spent most of the day at work lapping the e2140.Put it on our Stefelmeyer today and it was like a banana,well thats a bit of a over-statement but im sure you get the idea.

Lapped it down to 1200 today and will continue down to 1600 tomorrow.
