Welcome to the forums, but I can't see a question here..

What exactly are you asking?

If you're asking for the overclock other people got, it doesn't work as simply as that, some chips overclock better than others, so it's heavily dependent on your own chip.
 
Okay dokay, so have you looked into overclocking at all already or is this the first you've thought about it?

What I mean by that is have you read/watched what you find Googling E2180 overclock? That should give you a solid place to start :)
 
i have done my homework throughly and Also OCed my cpu to 2.6ghz but due to ovrheating no success in prime95 test hence underclocked to stock speed ;) Now hoping u guys can help me in OCing it to anything more than stock speed ..
Note- my mobo dont support any voltage changing BUT its multiplier is UNLOCKED
 
So did it actually fail p95, as in you got a BSOD or an error, or did you abort it because of temperatures?
 
You need a better cooler first and foremost matey - overclocking creates a LOT of heat

You will probably find though that your motherboard will stop before your CPU does.

Its NOT a simple thing to overclock the old 775's like it is something like a new haswell chip though - you actually have a lot to learn.

Really isnt just putting settings in - you have a lot of testing and thinking to do to get the best from them.

I have an E2160 here that will do 3.8ghz on decent air cooling......
 
but i hv read in othr forums that people hv oced the same cpu to 3 ghz or so at stock cooling .. i dont have money for aftermarket cooler. Im adding a rear case fan today and also applying a new paste on CPU . I hope it will help me to reduce the temp about 2-3 degree C ( correct me if im wrong)
 
But it's not the same CPU though... The CPU you have is in your PC, the CPU they have is in theirs. Despite being 'identical' models, they aren't the same, and some will overclock well, and others barely at all.

Changing the thermal paste will most likely help you if you clean off the old paste, and reapply the new one properly, but don't expect to it to work huge miracles.
