Should go well with a delid and some LN2

There's no need to delid

 

Have you tested max fsb at the lowest multi?

No1Spank says:

No, but I did try it on LN2 and I couldn't hold speed long enough to save CPUZ file, think I had it over 4.6ghz.

My pot was bolted on though as didn't have the right bracket so that could be the problem.

delid it if you see temps go through the roof, otherwise don't bother

You didn't sub anything for it when you had it on LN2?

No1Spank says:

It was delided but no I didn't get a sub, as soon as I loaded CPUZ it crashed every time even when I kept lowering the clock.

 

The CPU is over 10 years old so I guess it was degrading fast.

GeorgeStorm says:

Ah that's a shame, any plans on going cold with it again, or other 775 stuff?

No1Spank says:

Maybe won't use that cpu again cold as it's past it's bext but I've got 3 decent X48 boards now and a few 775 cpu's.

I coud do with a decent delid tool though as these old ones are really hard to do with a razor blade without damaging them.

 

I bought one of ebay but it was rubbish.

 

By the way Grorge now the competition is over what is the secret to decent scores with the GT 1030?

I had decent CPU, memory and GPU clocks but still go beaten by people with slower setups. I tried tweaking every setting in the Nvidia 3d settings I could.

There's no need to delid s775 cpus

 

Err I'm not entirely sure, gpu boost 3.0 seems a bit like witch craft to me haha. For 03 you needed to use LOD, same with Heaven

No1Spank says:

I was using LOD, made a small amount of difference.

 

Just looked at the maximum CPU speeds I got with the E-2160 on air.

 

Before delid 2900 mhz approx on air.

After delid 3200 mhz roughly on air.

 

Something like 20 degrees C difference on one of the cores at 2.9ghz.

 

I tried a TEC on that CPU but didn't upload as I wanted to stay in enthusiast league. I got 3.2ghz with that before the delid but once I did it the TEC was no better than just using a decent air cooler. In fact I think I got a few more mhz over 3.2 with just the tower cooler.

 

I suppose for LN2 you are right it wouldn't make a difference, but I still like benching on air/water & chilled.

GeorgeStorm says:

6 year and 5 months ago –

Ah interesting didn't think it made much difference.

 

Well hopefully you get a chance to clock some more s775 soon, they're good fun!

By the way it was the E-2160 that I tried on LN2 not this E-2180. Got a bit mixed up as it was so long since I did this benchmark.
