E2140 on Ga-945GCMX-S2

Noobinparel · 11-22-2008, 07:10 AM

Hello :)
I would Like Overclock My Rig
I got it from1.6 to 1.8 i tried to go to 2.4
i had it boot on 2.4 but it isn't stable
i try to play a game or a run a program and it freezes
i Don't Know whats the problem ut even if i go over 1.85
it goes unstable......
no idea why
anyway thx 4 your time:)

Noobinparel · 11-25-2008, 10:38 AM

Right Sorry Bout Not Enough Details
Standart Clock 1.6
Current Clock 1.84
Unstable Clock Goes From 1.9

I Have Not Idea How To Make It Stable Raise Voltage Or Something... Im Hopin Some One Could Help

Noobinparel · 07-03-2009, 09:36 AM

ok Honestly im Waiting Forever For Help

First of all people will reply when they are ready.

Second of all not all cpus are equal, some may overclock alot like mine or soem may blow up if you fart in its general direction.

Overclocking is all about experimenting, it could be that your cpu is at it's limit

The OP waiting 8 months before bumping this thread....that is extreme patience and more than reasonable.

Now for the OP. I'm sorry that nobody has replied to your post. Occasionally people do get lost in the shuffle :(

We need some system details from you.
Amount, make, and model of your RAM.
Make, model and wattage of your PSU.
Are you using a stock CPU cooler?
What are your load temps at 1.8ghz?
How are you OCing? (Via the BIOS of using software?)

Noobinparel · 07-09-2009, 01:59 AM

Lol 8 Months...I Got a New Pc Now
BUt I Still Use This Rig Sometime
And Sinece You Didn't TOTALY Forget Me

I Might As Well Do Something with this old thing

so yeah Thanks :)
Heres My Specs

Gygabyte Mobo: Ga-945GCMX-S2 CPU:E2140
Ram:3 gig Starex 800mhz (Though i Think It Only Registers 667..Not Sure)
My CPU Is a 600W PSH600R-D And Its A Mono Mode CPU
Yes Im Using A Stock Cooler
at 1.8 My Tems Are preety Mutch Usual 31c 35c Sumthin Like That They Were The Same On 1.6 ...
Yeah Im Only Overclocking Through the Computrers BIOS System

No Matter What i Try This Fcking Thing Just Won't Go Across The Line 1.8 Is The LIne Though Lately I Somehow Got It To Book at 2.0 GHZ It Froze And DId Some Wierd Beeps...I Down Clocked To The Regular 1.8
Oh and another wierd Thing
My Video card is a 9600 GT from MSI
And I Can Overclock That To The Limit
ANd When I DO The CPU No Matter What CLock i'm At Will Freeze
Unleas Its the standart Booring 1.6

Anyway Thx For The Help and Tell me if i missed something

Noobinparel · 07-30-2009, 02:20 PM

Lol....Well I Guess im Lost On This oNE
aNYONE feel free to help me :)

Zombeast · 07-30-2009, 02:34 PM

what are the temps when it goes past 1.8, are they good at idle or really high

Phædrus2401 · 07-30-2009, 02:53 PM

The E2140 has an FSB of 200 and a multi x8, right? Seeing as how I can get my E2200 (FSB: 200, multi: x11) stable with an FSB of 280 (resulting in clock of 3080MHz) I would expect you to be able to get to the same ballpark FSB-wise (giving you a clock of 2.24GHz--don't count on getting that high though) as long as you have GOOD AIRCOOLING. Have you tried increasing your Vcore? In order to get mine stable at FSB:280 my voltage needs to be at 1.46V, FSB:260 I can have it stable as low as 1.40V, FSB:240 or less I can leave it on auto. If you got it to 1.8GHz that means you must have got to an FSB:~230, so it sounds like you're at the point where your Vcore could use a little boost. Try 1.38V.

Just remember, TAKE IT SLOW.

Noobinparel · 08-04-2009, 07:05 AM

Thank You Very Mutch :)
Yes My VCore Is On Auto
Cpu Speed Is On 1.8 FSB is at 225, Multiplier x8 (Locked)
My Temps Are Idle 39 c FUll Load 40c I Know a BIt High Cause My Thermal Paste Needs Replacing...

Noobinparel · 08-04-2009, 07:23 AM

Well I Tried THat ..The Pc FINALY Booted On 1.92 FSb Is at 240 vcore is at 1.40
Temps At 39c 42 c

Still I Aint Stable With Games ....
Im Gonna DO Some More Experimenting ...
E2200 Is Way Diffrent Than The E2140...

Phædrus2401 · 08-04-2009, 07:43 AM

The E2140 through E2220 are all based on the same architecture. However, every CPU is different, while I can top out my overclock at FSB:280, some people have gotten the E2200 as high as FSB:340, while others can only get to FSB:230. Mine is about average though.

What are you using as cooling, the stock fan or an aftermarket heatsink?

**greenbrucelee** · 08-04-2009, 09:17 AM

your at 39 idle and only one degee high when the cpu is at full load?

I find that hard to believe 30 or 40 degrees isn't a bad temperature for the cpu being idle as long as you do go above 60 degrees when its on full load then you will be ok.

Phædrus2401 · 08-04-2009, 04:01 PM

EDIT: Nevermind.

Noobinparel · 08-05-2009, 07:08 AM

Well I Just Installed Windows 7 ...lol
Erm Right To Da Point

i Can't make it stable...
im currently running this on FSB 240 With Vcore 1.45 Stock Cooler Stock Heatsink Tems Is Currently at 43c .
I Think That The Voltage may 2 High But At Least its Running ....I Haven't Installed ANy Games Yet. Well I Am Now...

P.S VERY INTERESTING!!!.
It Seems That When I Overclock My GPU. it Fails.... Leteraly Fails, The Driver Display Crashes And Then Recovers OR my Screen Starts Glitching...
Any Ideas On Why THE F** is My GPU Crashing After i Overclock My CPU????

Noobinparel · 08-09-2009, 02:42 PM

still Waiting *Yawn*....
Back to The Drawing Board ...Or To The BIOS ...
Anyway
ive Downclocked it To 1.8 Im pretty Sad ..
It Just Won't Go Past 1.8 :( I Don't Know What To Do ive Punched it to 1.5 v Core And it STILL NOT STABLE ..much Faster But Not Stable....And The Result Was My CPU Going Hot ...Really Hot!
49c -53c Degree hot....

**greenbrucelee** · 08-09-2009, 04:10 PM

1.5v seems extremely high, you should be keeping it under 1.3 thats probably why its not stable. Your gpu PCI-e figure might have changed, go into the bios and put it to 100

Phædrus2401 · 08-09-2009, 04:13 PM

The Conroe CPUs are rated at up to 1.5V and I had mine at 1.54V for a while. Mine is 24-hour-Prime95 stable at 1.46V. They run at 1.15-1.34V when set to auto, in my experience, with an average of ~1.28V for a stock E2200.

Did you start by just increasing FSB by 10MHz at a time, booting to see if it was stable, repeating?

Noobinparel · 08-09-2009, 08:58 PM

Thanks For You help Guys :)
i really Appreciate It :))

Ok Em...
..No And kinda Yes..I Spent like 3 Hours Experimenting...
But i just Tried to go o 1.84 And the Result Was Stupid ...it was on 1.38 Vcore (Same As 1.8 vCore) And it Worked...i Started Testing On Some Games .....And it continues As Follows
Main Menu> Load Screen> LOAD> CRASH!
It Just Crashes...Might Work For a Few Seconds And Then it Crashes or Freezes.
About The PCI -e Ill Try That...

P.S
LOL Im A REAL Overclocking NOOB xD

Noobinparel · 08-09-2009, 09:05 PM

Ok..
I Just Set PCI-e to ASYC (100MhZ) or Something And When it Boots up With That
it Drops All Overclock Setting So I Had to Set It Back To Auto..

Still Testing Phædrus2401 Instructions...
