Overclocking a E2140

[Drunken cake]

hi all again just wondering if anyone can help me out. spec's in sig ive tried Ocing my
E2140 to 3.2GHz but it locks up in 3Dmark06 it stable at 3GHz but im determined to get it to 3.2GHz but im not what else to do this is what ive done

CPU: multiplier 8
FSB: 375
CPU vcore 1.350 (cant rember if this is right sorry)

thats all ive done should i be changing the voltages on th SB or NB oh by the way im a complete noob when it comes to Oc if u havernt noticed lol

Thanks for your time

ive now managed to raise the FSB to 412 ive had to raise the SB voltages up to 1.60
and NB to 1.39v its stable but im thing of trying to get it to 3.4GHz any think this is posible any one seen it got that high the highest ive seen these chips is 3.2GHz

Thanks for you time

You are doing well

Have you tested it for stability?

Grab prime95 or orthos and give it a blast for a few hours.

One thing that stands out from those settings is that you havent manually set your RAM timings and voltages. It may help when you are trying to go higher

thats one thing i have no clue how sort my ram out ive left it on auto i dnt wont to blow anything up lol any advive with ram would be very helpful

Thanks for you time

CAS# Latency :
RAS# to CAS# Delay :
RAS# Precharge :
RAS# ActivateTime :

DRAM Voltage : AUTO

Look on your sticks of RAM, there is usually a label with the timings and voltages printed on.It should say something along the lines of - 4-4-4-12 - 2.0v

or

5-5-5-15 - 1.9v

Just look for something like that, and then change them.

So, if yours were 5-5-5-15, you would...

CAS# Latency : 5
RAS# to CAS# Delay : 5
RAS# Precharge : 5
RAS# ActivateTime : 15

DRAM Voltage : AUTO <--- Change this to whatever it says on the label on your sticks.

If there is no label on the sticks, go to the manufacturers website

just ran prime 95 for 5 and a half hours no problems
Picasa Web Albums - craig - PC

and ive set my memory to 4-3-3-15 at 2.32 volts or i could have them running at 1033MHz at 5-5-5-15 which would be better and CPU-Z says that my memory is running at 515MHz is it not sopost to be saying 1033MHz? <---Unstable sadly

okay its really not stable now after about 10 mins it turns its self off then i tried just runing it a 4-3-3-15 with 2.32v and the MHz was set to 825Mhz unstable then that also turns its self off

now im running at 5-5-5-15 with 2.0v seems stable at the mo can som1 help me pls

i just want to get my ram stable at 1033MHz i dont think its posible any thoughts??

ive managed to make my RAM run at 1033MHz at 2.40V and raised me SB voltage up to 1.40v

does knowone wanna anser pwease any comments would be helpful


thanks for your time
