are old 1GHz duron's at all oc'able?

[dpopiz]

my friend has an old 1GHz duron...I don't really know anything more specific about it. does it have any overclocking potential at all?

Check the overclockers.com database. Probably good for 1.2GHz depending on the setup.

i had mine going at 1.33

My 800MHz couldn't go passed 850MHz no matter how I tried it. But that was most likely a case of a cheap motherboard. (Soyo K7V Dragon)

at least the point that it could be push further than stock speed should be something to be content with...

The 1 ghz Durons were the first using the Morgan Core, slower speeds used the Spitfire core. Should be good for 1.2-1.3 ghz with Vcore stepped up some.

on default voltage mine 1ghz did 1330mhz, it did run hot though, i recall noting that hte default voltage of the processor was 1.78V- kinda weird

Currently have 1.0@1.33GHz at defaults, running fairly cool with an SK-6+.

- M4H

yeah many people get those things to speeds like 1.3ghz to 1.4ghz
with a few even getting higher

bump the fsb from 100 to 133 and see if it boots.
