Overclocking an E2160

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Jesus H Christ, thats way too much V - what is your RAM speed ?

I thought the maximum voltage for an L2 stepping was 1.5V:

The RAM is running at 690MHZ and is 800MHZ DDR2.

Tried lower voltages and it was not IBT stable.

I tended to use relatively modest voltage increases when I was overclocking my E4300 and Q6600 though. However the E2160 cost me less than £15 IIRC so I want to see how far it can go.

how good is your cooling cat if its ok going to 1.5v will be fine short term i reckon you can get 3.3 out of that chip and then you might be pushing it a bit
my old e2140 stonewalled at 3.15ghz

I am getting a maximum temperature of 58C IIRC under IBT which usually stresses CPUs more than most other software.

You notched up anyother Voltages, NB, PLL etc ?

Nope!! I need to check if those options exist in the BIOS and if so what voltages should I look at?? I don't want to fry the motherboards and the heatsinks on the motherboard are quite small for the Asus P5K-SE:
