my e2140 does 3ghz (375 X 8) at 1.36 volts (stock +.3) but to do 3.2ghz it needs 1.43 volts which is a bit too much for everyday use i feel
those who have chips that can do 400+fsb are really lucky…thats y i advice u to play safe and take a 2160 if you are looking at 3.2ghz as a target
EDIT:: ^^ya the power connector is in the wrong place 
+1 to fcry’s posts…
E2180/2200 available? anyone seen em?
So,
E2160 + Biostar P35 is final???
I think i can expect 3Ghz on this set up.
But i did’nt understand pappu’s post that his rig boots up without d overclocked settings,do you hav do overclock all over again??
hey,wot do u mean by ’ overclocking is a lottery’,very few proccs turn out to be lemons,right??
^^he means that all proccys dont overclock to the same speeds…if you are unlucky yours may not reach 3ghz also…in which case it would be called a lemon 
like his proccy does 3.4ghz stable but mine doesnt go above 3.2…simple enough
@buster
about the mobo…when i start it sometimes, it doesnt boot(no signal to monitor)
i turn it off and on again…so it says didnt boot bcoz OC settings failed…i go ino bios and just save & exit(your settings dont go away..it just boots at default) and then my comp runs fine with overclocked settings
^^it means that u start twice instead of once …thats all
i asked my friend about the abit board but he said he hasnt updated the bios…neways his problem is similar to the one with the biostar so i guess u can go for either of the 2
thnx,but i really did’nt get dat,
can u explain again in easy words.
yes pappu is on steroids,you gotta see his awesome figure to know.
lemons are procs and you can include gpus too,that are piss poor overclockers,you can continue giving higher voltages to them but they would not oc as high as the average.
about the boot issue on abit board-
1)the board double boots,that is after you switch it on the for the first time or if you change a bios setting the board will boot,go silent and then boot again.if you keep your pc on for hours its not even an issue and also it can be done away with a bios flash.
2)sometimes after the pc has been switched off for a while,the board forgets its overclocked settings and boots on stock settings.
the bios however still has the oc’ed settings,you just have to go in the bios once and leave and the board will boot up with the oc’ed settings again.
so if you keep your pc on for a long time you won’t have boot issues with either of the boards.
getting a 2160 or 2140 is fine,higher multiplier would not automatically yield you a higher overclock,get a decent cooler if you want to get these chips to 3GHz and beyond for heat is gonna become an issue with the summers setting in.
A Q… is Thermalright Ultima 90 + Scythe 90mm available in delhi or do u guys in delhi get it shipped from somewhere
get it from one of the dealers here… i think it will be available in delhi too
@gaymervivek
dont talk about my figure here
E2140+P35 wld b cool
but try 2 g8 d abit p35..its a lot b8r wen its abt ocng
alrite after repeated persuadations, i wud get d abit board.
What is better -
Corsair 450VX or Coolmaster extreme 600W??
Any better alternative to Elite 330(Same price pls)
i gonna gewt d rig tommorow,any final recommendations?
this is a overclock rig,can u post a nice overclock guide??
^^lool
ask me in pm when u get it…ill help your out
if the coolermater and corsair have a small cost difference, go for the corsair vx450 psu…best psu in its range
i think you mean cooler master’s extreme 600W
both are good psu,just get the one which you can get cheaper.
have a nice time overclocking:)
thnx everyone,but delayed by 1 day,
pls help me wid d cabby,elite 330,jamaica,cheiftec or some other.(pls dont extend ma budget)
btw at stock is e2160 really bad,u would compare it wid wich athlon x2 processor at stock??
Why worry abt stock when u can overclock it. But it would most likely compare with the X2 3600+(which is not available any longer), might probably even lag it in most tasks with the exception of video/audio encoding.
Anyway if ur interested, i have an E2140 for sale. You have an option of guaranteed 3 ghz at 1.3v 
CAMAAN at stock it isnt as bad as a 3600+ man
neways, when overclocked it will beat out even a 6000+
btw..i have no clue about cabinets sorry
^^With a 1.8 Ghz clock and 1 MB of cache(which is the major factor and not clock), compared to a X2 at 1.9 ghz u tell me whats gonna happen. And a 6000+ happens to run at 3 ghz, so it will only beat the 6000+ when u can reach speeds in excess of 3 ghz
