Easy to overclock E2160 + Asus P5k Vm M/B?
- Thread starter Tainton

While I wouldnt call it "easy", once you've got your head around the basics you'll have a lot of fun doing so, and it wont take you long to learn. Yes there are auto OC tools etc, but its best to learn to do it manually in my opinion! Just take your time, dont rush to a huge overclock and keep it sensible with the voltages and temperatures, and you'll get a huge boost out of that potentally very fast cpu 
Ok heres where im at for the moment > I changed in bios the:
CPU Clock Ratio - x9
CPU Host Clock - 300fsb
This overclocked to 2.7 and appears to be stable however I may have noticed a problem or it may not be.
Below are the 2 readings I took picture1 clearly shows x6 multiplyer but after approx 10secs it jumps to the readings shown on picture2 for about 1-2secs before returning to the values in pic1. Is this normal?

You have either EIST, C1E or Intel Speedstep enabled...or all three. Turn them off in the BIOS as they step down the speed of ur processor to save power.

I`m being confuzed from different sources on this.
Afaia, in the CPU Control section of, say, an Abit menu, screenshots I`ve seen of reviewers testing cpus or mobos - overclocking them and so on.
They disable all 4 of the entries: EIST, C1E, Virtualization, .. and the other one
This, as I understood, should allow u to change the multiplier freely without the mobo/cpu changing it up depending on how ur pc is running.
Doesn`t seem to work like that on my IX38. It `shows` and allows u to change the multiplier from something like x6 up to x31 (or something stoopid). But if I want x10, it`ll accept it, but when u get into ur OS, the likes of cpuz etc say I`m x9.
What`s up with that ?

You're using a Q6600 with a 9x multi?
I leave virtualisation enabled....doesn't make a difference to overclocking

Think the Q6600 is at like 345x9 or something (can`t remember @ work)
The 9650 is at something like 375x9.
Either way, the x9 is the sticking point. Not messed with the ip35 much, but the ix38 seems to click back to x9 for the 9650 no matter what u change it to.
B4 the bios upd8 for it, it used to stick on x6.

They should all be on the same page and shouldn't be too hard to find. Write the names of the things your looking for down and keep having a look around your bios for them without changing anything your not sure about. That way it'll give you a feel for the bios for when you want to change it in the future.

Absolutely no idea.
Coulda sworn I seen 1 review/tester guy do something like 390/400 x10 for the Q6600 tho. Only vaguely remember it cos he did it on air!
Here's what I did, with the same CPU. Intel E2160 and the same motherboard Asus P5N-E SLi nForce 650
the motherboard I was using was a little upset that I had my OC @ these settings
CPU 1200
RAM 800
now usually that would be ok however it said no no No!, so i put up with
CPU 1066
RAM 800
for a long time which effectivly gave me a clock of 2.4GHz from the initial 1.8GHz stock, everytime i tried jumping up the FSB even after re adjusting the voltages I still couldnt get past the bios splash, so heres what I did...
I jumped my Vcore to 1.3V
I jumped the RamV up to 1.2V
I jumped the Ncore to about 1.23
I lowered my multiplyer from x9 to x8
clocked my CPU from 800 FSB to 1333 FSB
clocked my Ram from 800 FSB to 1000 FSB
lossened the timmings from 4-4-4-12+2clock to 5-5-5-15+2clock
now I run @ 3.0GHz with 1GHz Ram with a slight increase in temps though not drastic by any means, all with stock air cooling out of the box it came in,
so you see lowering the multiplexer and using the method of adjusting the FSB to a compatible rate will allow you to make a tasty overclock.
not bad for a £350 build, hope this helps mate.

That CPU can run at 3GHz on stock cooling and still run very cool, there is a huge potential to get very high OCs on it if you have good cooling and RAM willing to OC!
Don't take this as an example, but I have had mine at 438x8 giving me just short of 3.5GHz which is a massive OC of something near to a huge 120%, and it only tops out at 63C and probably 68 - 70 before it was lapped.
