E2180 overclock

To be honest thats a really good overclock as it is. I doubt if you got it past 3Ghz you'd see much more game performance.

As for making it faster have you tried loosening ram timings, NB/SB voltage increase. Whats the maximum FSB your board supports with that chip?

Your CPU has more room to overclock and you've lowered the RAM:FSB ratio. Only thing that could hold you back is mobo. Soz last question was meant to be whats the highest FSB you've had with that mobo via lowering multi i.e is it stable past 320Mhz with lower multi (9*333=3Ghz).

Was is it ok?

did 9x333 @ 1.35 and got in windows
restarted on P95 (better than before)

Not 100% but i think avg of vcore @ 3Ghz is 1.4 and 3.2Ghz is 1.45 avg from reading around

If it will boot and then just restarts give it more voltage.

No.. but if your motherboard will do 333x9 then 300x10 shouldn't be an issue and would be a CPU issue.

Well I was testing at 9x333 @ 1.3875 and at about 14k it failed even though it appeared to run fine........any ideas?.........its like at 333FSB it wont work (running now at 2.66 at stock vCore)

I have also been trying to get to 333FSB but seems like the CPU has a FSB limitation.

Well I am testing 7x333, like u said cnumartyr, seems fine
It's when I put the multiplier back up, do I encounter major problems

Shadow703793, mine needs 1.38+ to get 10x300, how is yours on stock
Mine really does suck

On the DS3L, there is no PLL setting (unless its a different name), only RAM, FSB, vCore, and one other. i think its NB

Whats a safe overvoltage for the FSB?

Well I tried for 8x400 with vCore 1.35 and FSB +0.2....no good so I settled on 370 and its testing now

How come when I go to 9x multiplier the machine totally doesn't work and requires lots of vCore? Is it that big of a change in the CPU?

might want to try that again.......

Whats up.......what do you want me to look at?

^Its most likely your PSU.

i only managed to do 2.71ghtz

even 0.01 more and windows did not even start
above 2.81 the temp went up already in the bios monitor 1celsius / 15 second
i just for the hell of it tried 3.00 = i was not even to go to bios, it froze about 4 seconds in to power on
how even on 2.71 temperature is identical then the stock 2.00 (38celsius)

use stock fan, stock voltage
mobo = ashrock 775dual-vsta

I give you all my spect, and 3dmark test...
E2180 3.0Ghz 300*10 (1.26v+0.050 [1.30V show on OCC])
4GB DDR2 800Mhz running at same speed, OC or +V = Negative all standar (NO Dual Ch.)
FSB 1200Mhz - DDR Unliked at 800Mhz manual.

Fan Cooler Asus Triton 70 Multi Socket
35º iddle // 60º máx load (3.0Ghz/1.30V).
GF xfx 9800GT modo1: 600/1500/900 modo2(OC): 700/1750/1000

3Dmark test
E2180 at 2.0Ghz modo1: ~7550 SCORE
E2180 at 2.0Ghz modo1: ~8500 SCORE
E2180 at 3.0Ghz modo1: ~10800SCORE
E2180 at 3.0Ghz modo2:~11500SCORE

Max speed i could reach 3.0Ghz. Now I am trying to use forum to see if 320FSB o 333FSB can be done without over Voltaje and Windows starting problems, because i have the same -.- problem. But 3dmark is just a test i suppos all game will run the same with a 3.0Ghz vs 3.4Ghz. In my opinion 3Dmark take to much advantaje of 3.0Ghz procesors (marketing).
