Overclocking E2160 (Help?)

Hey guys, I just got my E2160 today and I OC'ed and ran ORTHOS.

I've never used ORTHOS so I just used blend and priority 1. Ran for 30 minutes at 2700MHz (300 x 9 multi) (RAM @ 750MHz).

Temps ranged from 48-52C under ORTHOS and I'm idling at 28-30C

Is this a stable OC? How does it look?

THanks! :D

Heres a pic:

Looks good. Generally, I run the blended test for 8 hours to make sure that my computer is Rock solid stable. You should be able to push more than that out of the E2160. I was running my E2180 at 9x multi (making it a E2160) with a FSB of 333 and a vcore of 1.425V. That seemed to be very stable, but now I am having trouble going above that.
 
Yeah I think 2.7GHz is good but I'm planning on going more as you said, at least reach 3.0GHz. Today morning I turned on my computer and I had a BSOD :(

So I bumped the v core one notch and BSOD went away but now computer restarts just when it's about to load Vista. Should I bump the cpu v one more notch?
 
Yeah I just bumped it once and Vista booted, Im fact I'm typing in my comp now :D

I'm gonna try to go higher right now, but for how long should I run ORTHOS to have a stable OC?
 
Ok I could hardly get to 2.8GHz. Heres my current stable (BIOS settings)

Multiplier = 9
FSB = 300 (2700MHz)
SPD = 2.4
RAM = @ 750MHz
Timings = (set on auto) 5-5-5-17
CPUv = 1.33125V (bumped up 1 notch from stock)
Temps = ~27C idle, ~50C under load (ORTHOS)

I tried to raise the FSB to 312 (2800MHz) and it worked, I didn't have to raise cpu voltage. Temps were fine, ~28C idle. I went to BIOS and raised the FSB to 323 (2907MHz) and bam, BSOD. Raised cpu voltage 1 notch and BSOD. Raised v another notch and BSOD. So I decided I wanted to go back to 2.8GHz and now I got system freeze in Vista loading screen.

I'm back at 2.7GHz

Any help? :confused:
 
I can't say i know anything about the DS3L bios. Does it have the "performance enhance" feature? if so set it to standard. Whats your stock vcore?

If you get to a point were upping cpu voltage doesn't help get it stable, then you will want to mess around with the FSB or MCH voltage.

I'd run Orthos Blend at Priority 8 for about an hour!

i never see a difference between the priorities, but you will need to run it from 2-4 hours. Recommend 4 hours, one hour usually isn't enough to determine stability..
 
Thanks! I didn't know wether I should keep raising vCore or not. Yeah I guess I'll keep trying until I boot. Whats the max temp that I should be getting under load?

Yeah I set it to "Standard" and stock vCore is 1.3125 I think.

Oh and do I haveto run the 2-4 hours every time I raise the FSB and boot to checl temps? or should I just do it say at 3.0GHz or at whatever I want to check for stability?

Thanks!

nah, only run it that long when you get to speed you want to keep.

When you make small bumps, i would run it for ~5 minutes just to get a ballpark of if you need more voltage.. ;)
 
Ok thanks! And if I keep getting BSOD's, I can raise the CPU coltage by single nothces until I get it to boot right?

Right. If you can get to the desktop without the OS freezing, and you've found a good speed, run Orthos. If you get errors within < 2 hours, either increase the voltage, or lower the FSB a little.

Bump it to 1.5 and see what temps you get under load. If it gets above 65, lower it to 1.48 (if that setting is available).
 
Why is it that sometimes when I boot and Vista starts, my multi comes down to 6 and FSB to 200 (givinig me 1200MHz) :confused:

Is that some kind of protection for over-voltage or something?
 
I disabled Smart Fan and C1E, but I can't seem to find EISt, is it in the Tweaking Section of the BIOS? or can I disable in Windows?
