New CPU. E2140. 1st boot: 100% OC

[K404]

tested with F@H and some UT3 action. This is at 1.27V real

Speaking of those apps...F@H doesnt seem bothered by the 1MB cache or the fact I was running single-channel to start with, and with 2GB RAM, UT3 is totally playable, despite the lower cache volume.

Im pretty much shocked by how this chip does in real-world apps. At ballpark £45 delivered, its a friggin steal!

How far can it overclock?

Melbourne720 on OcUK did a comparison between e2160 Vs e6600 at the same speed and the difference in games was a hadrly anything...

For just £45 that E2140 is a steal especailly if it can hit 3.2 out of the box.

Is that on air Kenny?

What 3D card on UTIII?

 

[K404]

I cant/wont post OC limits until the 27th because im taking part in a % OC competition...which I intend to win. 100% is not the max though, or close

Cooling is entry-level water (120.1, 400LPH pump, X20 CPU block)

GPU on UTIII is a 7900GS, stock clocks.

hehehe.

Going to be breaking out the DICE then for this chip?

That is nice on that watercooling.

Shame I wont have my phase unit before the first stage of that OC competiton closes.

A mate of mine has one of these chips, it hit 3.0 out the box on air, could get it to 3.2 was stable but there were heat issues.

Well done Kenny mate nice cpu you have there

 

[sacha35]

Nice results there kenny, i can see you getting a lot more from this chip, well done mate on the results and keep pushing.

Bring the noise Kenny - mine's ordered and the chat on the OC3D forum is 130% FTW :S

 

[K404]

130....some people just dont aim high enough...

My 2160 does 3Ghz on stock cooling.

temps are 28 idle and 50ish under load! really chuffed with this chip

wish i could sing the praises of gigabyte board tho. 2 p35-ds3r's in 2 weeks. Trying a p35c now - tight fit but it works. Is the only diff the fact the p35c does ddr3? Rebooted and all worked fine - no need to reinstall but I did have to convince microshaft I wasn't using a pirated key.

I can only imagine what this chip is capable of under LN2. Amazing clocks out of the box on water, can't wait to see what you pull out of the hat for the competition. Cheers! :beerchug:
