OVERclocking Dual Core E2160 @ 1.80ghz
August 4th, 2016
By the way my cpu temperatures in the mornings are around 24 – 32C at idle. Load temps around about 33 – 43C. These temperatures are from after I overclocking it and are in autumn/winter.
if your computer is unstable after overclocking, then you are pushing it too far, turn it down a bit until it becomes stable.
i would also recomend running a cpu loading test to make sure that under continuous heavy load it doesnt fail
Did you increase the voltage? Your comp just restarts because your CPU tells your computer that it doesnt have enough energy, so it gets you comp to shut down before it crashes during a critical task. Also note that when you overclock your CPU, you also overclock your RAM at the same time so reduce the multiplier on your RAM!
Basically increase your voltage and to test if its ok, I usually run Crysis for 30min and then run 3Dmark Vantage. If thats ok, run Prime95
When you are overclocking and not sure what voltages to use ensure you have it set on “AUTO” so that it will increase alongside frequency when overclocking.
You have to provide more information so we can help you more effectively. 1.8 Ghz isn’t enough information.
Take some screenshots in CPU-Z for each tab, main, motherboard, memory etc.
Intel Pentium Dual Core CPU E2160 @ 1.80ghz 65nm
FSB speed – 800MHZ (default)
Core Voltage – 1.188 V – 1.313 V
CPU clock – 1465.0 Mhz
CPU speed – 244.2MHZ (Default 200Mhz)
Multiplier – 6.0x
FSB speed – 976.8MHZ (oc)
Memory clock – 406.9 Mhz
22% overclocked
Motherboard – Asus P5GC-MX/1333
RAM – 2GB
How do I adjust the Core Voltage in BIOS? All I did was just changed CPU speed from 200 to 244.
I think I should stay with 2.10ghz to be safe…

My computer isn’t unstable. Only problem is, when I restart my computer it has to turn off fully then starts back on. Normally my computer would just restart straight away.
I found DRAM frequency in BIOS and I was wondering what this is and if I need it.

I have no idea how to decrease the multiplier of my RAM.
=( Is it somewhere in BIOS?!
This is my CPU http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3241563
Ok. Tell me every single setting that is available in your bios for OC and I’ll see if I can give you a config that would work.

I just figured that below 2.18ghz is safe for me. I’m on 2.14/15ghz and when I restart my computer it doesn’t turn off then turn back on again.
I just figured that below 2.18ghz is safe for me. I'm on 2.14/15ghz and when I restart my computer it doesn't turn off then turn back on again.It’s just the voltage. A simple value. That CPU can go up to 2.80GHz if it need be provided cooling.

The thing is I don’t know how to change my voltage.
I think I found it in BIOS but it doesn’t let me.
Options are – Ignored or ”The Voltage number”
Motherboard - Asus P5GC-MX/1333Mate I found your problem. That is a 945 GC Northbridge chipset.
Yep and that motherboard won’t overclock well, I’m surprised you can get 20%. So the verdict is that in the 9xx intel era the P965 was the king of overclockers, not 945 as its just a entry level motherboard.
Xbitlabs got that processor to 3.4Ghz, but its archived using a “ASUS P5K Deluxe (LGA775, Intel P35)” and that is a monster as a MOBO. So if you had a G35 you can have a little more headroom.
Final conclusion: you shouldn’t OC with that MOBO.
