Overclocking and Voltage questions on a E2180

Rysjimmy1994 · Jan 17, 2008

I am very new to Intel. I recently decided to update my system to an eVGA 680i LT board with a E2180 and 2 gigs of OCZ Plat. Rev 2 DDR2800 ram. Anyway heres my problem. I have my chip at 2938. Thats the highest I can go an be stable. I had it running up to 3100 or so but it wasnt stable at all. Right now, I have the volts at 1.4. Thats probally high right? Arnt most people getting 3 ghz on stock volts? If I drop it down to stock volts its not stable. My ram is set at 5:8 divider and the timings are 5-5-5-14. Any suggestions to help me hit 3000 or 3100 and be stable?

how much volts is going to vary from cpu to cpu... you might have to up the voltage more then to get it stable at 3ghz. did you up the SSP or SPP (for get which it is.)voltage? for right now go unlinked mode in the bios for the ram and run it at specced speed/timings.

SSP or SPP is northbridge right?

Evilsizer · Jan 17, 2008

right for the NV chipsets...

Rysjimmy1994 · Jan 17, 2008

I think I have it at 1.4

Evilsizer · Jan 17, 2008

ok so list off what voltages are set at in the bios...

i have to pump 1.43 bios/1.41 cpu-z to get mine 3.03 stable.

like said mileage may vary. i can tell you it's anything but the northbrigde holding the chip back specially with a 10 multi on these chips

Rysjimmy1994 · Jan 17, 2008

max for these chips are like 1.45 right?

1.55v with high end air and 1.6-1.65 on water...

nah. you can go a bit higher

I have a U120 on it

Rysjimmy1994 · Jan 17, 2008

Damn looks like i ****ed up and should have bought a P35 huh

glockjs · Jan 17, 2008

not really. it's not like you're fsb limited...it has to do with the actual chip tbh. i don't know much about the 680i though. the farthest i looked into it was when i read it would have made a great extra space heater for the winter if needed

I use 1.45v on my chip to get 333(2160 that is)

Rysjimmy1994 · Jan 19, 2008

Here are my settings. I didnt boot with the current voltage thats shown.

Rysjimmy1994 · Jan 19, 2008

Whats a safe temp for these?

Rysjimmy1994 · Jan 21, 2008

Nobody huh

glockjs · Jan 21, 2008

i would aim to keep load temps under 60c

Rysjimmy1994 · Jan 21, 2008

Im at 58 C right now. with Nvida Monitor

Rysjimmy1994 · Jan 21, 2008

TAT says both cores are at 55
