[mufc08]

Hey all I need some help, I've got the following:

E2160,

I like how the bios (I think f6 bios) on the DS3x boards have a nice "auto voltage" feature. The first time I oc'd my chip to 3GHz, I left the auto voltages enabled, and all I had to do was up the FSB to 300MHz and put the RAM on the appropriate divider to keep it around DDR2 800. That's it--booted up beautifully and was rock stable. After 3GHz, I had to adjust voltages manually.

Cheers bruv I'll check that out

Is it just me or is anyone else having trouble getting their e2180 stable past 3.2Ghz. I looked at the chart but the specs don't always work for me. My PC might boot but it is far from stable. I try tweaking the voltages and I can't seem to get it stable. I thought I was going to be able to get 3.4 or 3.6 out of this CPU. Heat is not my problem. I have 6 120mm fans blowing in my stacker and at 3.2 my temps are only 55 max with super thermal grease.

I think some of the newer ones are having problems hitting the high clocks like some of the first ones that were out.

I am referring to when the M0 stepping first came out.

some do and some don't ... my E2180 is stable up to 3GHz and that's it, the good one's do over 3.2GHz, so basically it's luck of the draw mate,

Update for my Girlfriends E1200, flashed GA-G33M-S2 bios to F7b.

vCore 1.4250v
Nbv +0.3
FSBv +0.3
FSB 438
Cpu multi x8
CPU freq 3504MHz

Edit: Link to her system

not prime95 or orthos stable, but the system has not crashed other than stress testing, running games, and normal use (speedstep 438*6=2.63ghz) runs like a charm.
