gurrett86 Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 This is my first overclock. I got my system to 3ghz at 1.40625 vcore. It is using the intel e2160 on a gigabyte ga-ep35-ds3l board. Temperatures when idle are around 30 (centigrade) and under load 58 (centigrade). Does this seem appropriate for this chip and card? I think the vcore is somewhat high but i could be wrong. Thanks!

get_saif Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 (edited) Its a good one, I Tried comparing with mine, check it out. but mine is e2140, i had timings at 4-3-3-7, but as i added 3gb, hence had to change to 4-4-4-8, kinda sucks there. but still happy with the overclock, Waiting to get a Q6600 ..

gurrett86 Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Also...when is it necessary to change the Northbridge and Front Side Bus voltages? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comp Dude2 Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 You usually leave them at stock, although once you hit a wall you could try a little more juice to see if that helps but dont go nuts, it is usually only required when running 4 sticks of ram. That OC looks fine, yea the Vcore is a little high but it's alright. My advice however is, put you system spec's in your sig, it's much handier for questions like this, for example it would help if we knew what motherboard you have.

gurrett86 Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 ^ Advice taken...is it worth trying to overclock to 3.2 on this chip when my vcore is this high even for 3ghz? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onion Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Seems a bit warm, mine (on stock cooling and 2.8 ghz) is at 70 on p95 load and around 60 while gaming and F@H running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't 70 quite warm for this processor? The max is 72.3 I have the ocz vanquisher installed...maybe it isn't working correctly?

dr_bowtie Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 vcore sounds fine for where you are...3.36-3.4ghz will be the max on that chip....pushing 1.5vcore temps are fine...you may want to check the contact patch or see if you didnt put too much TIM on...both will hinder temps quickly...

damian Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Like everyone has said its fine, decent overclock, decent temps, VCore might be higher then average but not dangerous. Good job :thumbs-up: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
