| 752113 | 2009-02-28 08:07:00 | I want to overclock my current Dual Core E2140 1.60GHz factory speed. I have replaced my stock fan with a new Arctic Cooling Alpine Pro 7, but it seems that its cooling ability was worse than the stock one. I used the frequency control to overclock: With the stock fan, I could get up to 285 * 8 =2280 GHz (sometimes even to 2.4GHz, but it becomes unstable) Now with this fan, I can only get up to 242 * 8 = 1936 GHZ, and Vista already starts to crash. I read about how these processors are very very overclockable and can get up to 3.0GHZ on stock fan. How do they do this? I also read how you can achieve higher speeds by increasing the Vcore voltage of CPU, but my motherboard BIOS (Palit II-G31) has no options for this, other than increasing DRAM voltage. (I use 2 x 2GB DDR2-800) How can I achieve much higher overclocking speeds? This one seems pretty hard to overclock. Please help! Thanks. |

So: Foxconn G31-MX-K : E2140 (STOCK FAN) : 2280Ghz Palit II-G31: E2140 (ARCTIC COOLING ALPINE PRO 7 FAN) : 1936 GHz |

| 752116 | 2009-02-28 09:29:00 | When you replaced your hsf, did you apply some thermal compound? That may be why your cpu is running so hot. Get some Arctic Cooling Silver and apply a bit on, then spread it with a piece of card. |

| 752117 | 2009-02-28 10:05:00 | The thermal compound was preapplied to the cooler. | secureprivacy (11611) | ||
| 752118 | 2009-02-28 10:12:00 | Well you must have not installed it properly, as you should get excellent temps with that cooler, I have one myself, and I've overclocked my E8400 to 4.0ghz(33% OC) | Blam (54) | ||
| 752119 | 2009-02-28 10:20:00 | Sorry, How do you mean not installed properly. Its just plug the four legs in, and click in down (or something along those lines) right? Does that mean if I get lower temps ,I can get higher overclocking? Do I have to change other settings to obtain maximum overclocking? thanks Btw, are you sure my cooler isn't bad at all? |

| 752120 | 2009-02-28 10:29:00 | Your cooler is one of the best on the market, won lots of awards Check in your bios somewhere under hardware monitor the CPU temp. At stock it should be lower than 40 degrees, 35 or less probs Here are some utilities to get you started:www.computerlounge.co.nz Blam |

| 752121 | 2009-02-28 11:17:00 | Blam, yours is a Freezer 7 Pro. His is an Alpine, a lower-end model. Still better than stock though. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 752122 | 2009-02-28 12:04:00 | its not necessarily just the cooling, from my experiences when you oc the cpu, the ram frequency can also go up with it, usually can stop that happenin with bios settings. worth checkin |
