    I've got a few on my site here and here. I'm not sure how detailed you want it, but if you have any specific question, I'll be happy to answer. Duckman

    How to tell if a cpu was PREVIOUSLY unclocked

    Depends mate... If you use a regular pencil, the marks can easily be erased. Duckman

    Adventures in OC'ing a Celery 433

    It's possible. I managed to get my 466@600 with a slot1 Alpha. Only prob was my PCI speed...way too high..so I made a watercooler, bought a few 90W TECs and ran it at 733 instead. Much better;) Duckman

    First pics of my new wooden case(Blacktree: You're gonna love this one!!)

    If you have a look here you can see how my current insulation on the CPU is. The operating temperature with a CeleronII566 on this setup is -15C, and not too big a deal. At -50c to -60C i have to insulate both the CPU as I did before, the slot1 connector it self and the back of the motherboard...

    First pics of my new wooden case(Blacktree: You're gonna love this one!!)

    First of all, with a properly vented case, I can't really see that as a problem regardless the material used. Secondly, the case have two sections, one for the electronics and one for the cooling, ie I move all the heat generated from the CPU into the other section, and thus this will not affect...

    Well, I might make a few more of those holes, but I'm also going to put another 4,5" fan in the bottom of the case sucking coød air in. The mobo is a Abit BE6II. If you have a closer look at it, you can see some of the insulation on the back of the mobo and around the slot1...

    Inside the case. Front of the case. Notice the blow-hole for the harddrive cooling. Backside of the case. The big open square is where the condenser for the freoncompressor goes: 1. 2. Close-up of the blow-hole in the front. My goal is at least 100% overclock with my CeleronII566. Currently...

    is it risky if I bump my CPU voltage up from 1.75v to 1.80/1.85 volts???

    Exactly! (dam, here I go, typing 'till I get blisters on my fingers, and you use one single line to say what I didn on a whole page;)) Duckman

    is it risky if I bump my CPU voltage up from 1.75v to 1.80/1.85 volts???

    Well, having spent the last few weeks reading about this subject, I know some of it. Electromigration will occur on a chip, sooner or later. How fast this will happen is determined by several factors: -The interconnect material ie aluminum, copper or other experimental alloys -The operating...

    is it risky if I bump my CPU voltage up from 1.75v to 1.80/1.85 volts???

    Well, I've been there, but under my real nickname "Duckman". It's a long time since last time though. I mostly hang out at HardWare Central where I'm...*cough*...admin in the forums...please don't tell Sander, he'll kill me;) If you wanna know the whole story about electromigration...

    is it risky if I bump my CPU voltage up from 1.75v to 1.80/1.85 volts???

    Hope I'm not being a complete ass here, but you are wrong,Technonut....well, at least not 100% correct. Let me explain: Electromigration is an effect that occurs when an extremely dense electron flow knocks off atoms within the wire and moves them, leaving a gap at one end and high stress at...

    Celeron 633 @ 950 at 1.9 volt 45C full LOAD is it OK?

    I would recommend some more cooling. I don't think you should go above 40C. have a look on your case cooling. Is it good, or bad? Casecooling is the most efficient way to lower over all system temps. Duckman
