My new E2160 is coming this way, but I didn't know prior ordering there are 2 steppings, and with most retailers it is lottery game ;-(. I'm hopping for M0 stepping due to better o/c ability. Damn it if I knew I would go for E2180 (1 M0 revision as far as I know)... I wonder if with stepping L2 I'll be able to get 3Ghz.

Can you plz post your results from o/c E2160, step, voltage, hsf (stock or aftermarket) and achived speed (Mulitplier * FSB)?

i.e.

L2, 1.45V, stock hsf, 3Ghz (9*333)
 
Well, I just ordered an e2160. should be here monday. I'll let you know what stepping I get and how well it does.
 
I have an E2180 M0 @ 3.2ghz. 320x10. My mobo is limiting my OC because my Ballistix needs 2.2 volts and I can only give it 2.1 max. Sad times.
 
If it makes you feel better, haven't the M0s been around for a while? The L2s should be mostly gone by now.

My E4300's a L2 (well, I think E44+ got M0), but that was in July, right when they dropped the 4300.
 
I just got my E2160 and it is M0 stepping, runs super cool at the stock and I have lots of headroom for o/cing... :D :D
 
my E2160 L2 stepping (the bad version) is running at 3.2ghz

8 clock x 400 FSB. 1.36v in CPU-Z, I think it's a bit higher in the bios, I dont remember what it was though.

I'm a first time overclocker, 3.2ghz was easy to achieve. I had it running at 3.45ghz quite stable but brought it down to 3.2 because I don't need the extra power and I would freak out if I was in some kind of intense game and my comp blue screened. ;)

By the way, for a long time I tried to run at the default 9 x clock mult. but after doing some research everyone says there is better performance with a lower clock and higher FSB. I suggest you try out the 8 x 400mhz config, its great.

I did some initial o/c last night and the best 'stable' I could do was 3Ghz 9 * 334, I've tried ( 9 * 356) but I was rebooting while stressing the system, no matter how much voltage I'v e applied up to 1.42V....LOL :D My memory was running in 4-5-4-11 @ 2.10V, I've tried 5-5-5-15 @ 2.10 without luck...

I'll try 8 * 400 tonight.... How did you setup your memory (timings/voltage)?

Any other sugestions/tips?

TIA ;)
 
HERE IS MINE E2160 M0 stepping

I CHECK sSTEP FROM THIS WEBSITE

FROM THE IMMAGE RED UNDERLINE
1.SLA8Z
2.Q721A064 : I THINK IT SHOULD BE MANUFACTURE ON WEEK 21 IN 2007 ABOUT MAY 2007 (Q7=07 21=WEEK FROM 52 WEEK IN ONE YEAR)

HERE IS THE RESULT AFTER OVERCLOCKING

Mate, don't type in all capitals and make random posts, and don't make the text bigger than usual. The two above posts would be classed as spam. Of course people are here, this is one of the busiest technologies forums in the world. Finally, try to use a host that downsizes the photos, like Photobucket. It just makes everyone's time on the forum that bit easier.

Anyway, my overclock on my L2 E4300:

Unfortunately, that is the limit for my FSB, and I don't really feel like pushing it further, the temps and the voltage would get too hot then.

Yes, no one has anything to say b/c they're in awe of your OC. :eek:

Noone wants to post anything compared to your awesome 100%+ overclock.
They're ashamed of their lowly 3Ghz overclocks :(

Good job.

I need friends SIR.

BUS@THAILAND

go back to your 3.6ghz overclock... you were already pushing the limits on air cooling with 1.55v Vcore..

1.5v is considered safe for core 2 duo's
 
Thats a massive amount of vcore. I could never see myself running that high, especially on air. Wtf?

That's all horseshit IMO. Too much voltage creates too much heat which in turn burns out the component in question. If the heat is controlled then voltage doesn't really matter that much, within reason. Ya he's a little on the high side, but hey it's awesome.

Some people paying 300-400 for an 8400 and averaging at 4Ghz. This guy is doing almost that with a $50 processor! Screw the extra cache, give me the extra CASH! You could pay the same price for the 21xx and have 7 processor spares to play with. Ponder that for a while.
 
heres some realistic performance. Hey buddy weres the Prime tests I wanna see if your claims of 3.8 are stable.

OH NO WONDERFUL .Realistic performance.MY BROTHER JUST TAKE IT (E-2140 ) SO I only HAVE E8400 TO SHOW YOU SIR.

The old one I posted show E2160 in my country web board......

That's great. Where's your stress test screenshots? :rolleyes:

Booting into Windows at 3.6, 3.8 or higher is not considered stable. :p

Run Orthos or Prime95 for 12 hours or more without any errors and post screenshots of that.
 
he did post a 12hr orthos stable screenshot at 3510mhz, id say that still is damn impressive

i could only get 2.95 with a crappy msi p35, e2140 and crappy jetram. e2160, p5k-pro and g skill ddr1000 (powerchips IC) comin up:D

Impressive...@ an 82c load gamble.

Sorry, I know *I* wouldn't take those odds. ;)
Then again I expect my cpu to last. :)
26c idle/52c load on mine with ZM-STG1 grease.
1.485 vcore
14hr Prime 95 blend stable
My E2180 does not like going above 3.2. I squeezed like 3.35 with vcore above 1.5; meh I'm not zapping it above 1.5 to gain 100mhz.
 
A little late to the thread but I just got an M0 2160 and its @ 3.0ghz no tweaks or anything, i'm actually impressed with the very inexpensive asus P5N-MX mobo the combo only cost me 150 bux
