![]() A bit more than 2.8GHz, I was doubtful it would go any higher with only 1.18 volt. It was nice to watch it passed OCCT.ĬPU temp did not even break 40☌ at about 21☌ ambient. Without much of a thought, I went for 255FSB at default vcore. small amount of kitchen tin-foil, Scotch tape, AS-5 for gluing purpose. When I received the Cooler, it is almost the same as the one came with E2140 retail pack Genuine 100% aluminum with slightly smaller fan blades. I figured they both have similar thermal load and ought to be sufficient. I paired it with an inexpensive Intel 775 P4 631 Cooler for a mere $8.50. For a few dollars saving, this is an OEM processor. I was pleased to find out the E4500 default at only 1.185volt, and planned on no more than 1.4 volt no matter what CPU speed I could attain. I have since reduced the vcore to 1.45v and settled in at 3.09 GHz. With my recent trip to South-East Asia a couple weeks ago, the high temp and humidity made me think twice before I up the vcore too high for a few MHZ gain. At almost 31☌ room temp without A/C, the system had a slight CPU throttling. The Stock Intel Cooler was holding on its own inside a case until we had our "Indian Summer" in the Mid-West, USA. My last E4400 was pushed to 3.27 Ghz at a rather high 1.55vcore. ![]() ![]() I figured when a processor is willing you don't need to do much work and it would run its course otherwise, I would be working for the processor rather than the other way around by adding expensive cooling and memory, etc. Besides, I was not planning on pushing the vcore in more than a couple of settings. Since the last pin mod went smoothly, I assumed the same would apply here. To make a long story short I have two ASRock boards and none has vcore adjustment provision. ![]()
