Hey everyone, I just started overclocking my e2180 on this board and can't get past 2.41GHz, which is not even a good overclock for this chip. The fsb in running at 965 MHz, which is the highest I can get it right now.I'm not sure what the problem is. Is it the bios version maybe? I had been using 608 until my bios got screwed and I flashed it, but apparently I flashed it to 307.I haven't touched the voltages or the ram yet because I've heard of people overclocking this thing to almost 3GHz on stock voltage. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Sounds like the vcore needs to be bumped...although the earlier bios'es were kindof sketchy...I would flash it back to 0608 before more overclocking.

Ok, I'll try that and hope that nothing goes wrong with the flashing because it was very hard to get right last time. :-(

You will be better off getting a p45, which are very cheap (especially from gigabyte) and will oc quads well, especially with your unlocked multiplier. You could even get a p35 which is the same chip, just without official 1600fsb support.

No need to flame this mobo...it's only bad in your case because you did not research before you put in your quad.

well i had an e6600 in here and it overclocked it perfectly, so i give it a 4 out of 5 stars for dual cores but for quad cores i give it 1 out of 5 stars...just cause it works..i had gotten the quad extreme for free so i just used it and ebay
d the e6600 this board is not the best. but it fits lol. and ya ima save for that p45 gigabyte mobo with the ultra durable shiat fa show im get'n dat fa show

Any body with the 0608 bios having video playback lock ups with XP sp3 ?

This seems to have only started the last few months, around the time I installed sp3, for a year before that on sp2 and 0608 bios I had no problems at all.

I have been having problem with power dvd, media player 11, media player classic and VLC, after about 20 to 30 minutes screen just freezes , only way out of it is to reset.

Now I have just flashed to the 1301 bios and watched a divx movie start to finish with power dvd and no problems

I will have to do more testing to know for sure, but for now it seems like an older bios (0608) + XP sp3 issue.

huh...I used to have video lockups every now and then with the p5n-e sli...maybe it is related to the bios; i was using 0608 also.
