Don't bother, your PD is much faster.

Umm, no your wrong ... and e2xxx will outperform a PD by far when overclocked.

thats what it says in speed fan, because the bios is set at 1700 so speed fan assumes this is 100% ..............also where are we???? on an overclocking website....you guys including myself, constantly push components past 100% of what theyre designed to do

I'd really recommend a remount...don't be afraid to apply a LOT of downward pressure when you're mounting a cooler.

I remounted and get the same temps. The base of the cooler looks really bad. Blurry and dull and not very smooth but I don't want the hassle of lapping it. I'll probably try the stock HSF next.

Damn Thermaltake for not applying a machine finish to the copper base

thanks, rich

The intel fan is only rated for 1800rpm.

The only way to increase the fan speed is to increase the voltage applied to the fan. I think it's a 1-12V fan, you can try 18-24V but may burn out the motor.

And his PD is overclocked.

Hah!

Yes I know that, but a 3ghz will walk all over a PD even at 3.5ghz, this has been shown many times, C2D outperform Pentiums by a considerable margin.

Very true, but this is one of the very low-end C2D's, and the PD's will outperform them. I've got a buddy whose 3.2 Ghz PD came close to my C2D at stock speeds.

lol, you guys.

I didn't ask which is better.

I just want to know what BIOS I need to run a E2140.


*edit*
I found it. I need 0608 for the newer revision of the E2140.

Think I'll update to 0801.

Hi

I need some help and maybe a guide how to OC.

Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66GHz

Zalman CNPS-7500 CU LED

Asus P5N-E SLI nForce650I BIOS 0703

Kingston HyperX DDRII 2GB PC800 CL4

Thermaltake Eureka Aluminum Bigtower

PSU: LC-Power Silent Giant Green 550W 140mm

I want to OC my CPU - need some help. I know you have to change it to unlinked but what should the bus speed be and how about the multiplier etc. - the system must of course be in a stable condition. thanks in advance

Core 2 Duo is an architecture, the only different between a e6600 @ 3 ghz and a e2160@ 3 ghz is the difference in cache, and it barely affects many applications even, maybe 5~15%. And I highly doubt a 3.2ghz PD came close to a e6600 at stock speeds...
