Best OC'ing chip

[ZeroBurn]

i'm about to buy a set of cpus today for a bud of me and for myself, both of us are on a cusl2 and have pc133 memory. as for cooling, a simple gorb w/ artic silver.

what would you guys suggest for the best OC chip, i'm hopping to hit above 900. here's what i'm looking at.

celeron 566- we all know this one, garunteed to 850 and possibly hit 900.
celeron 667- anyone know the overclockability of these ?
pentium 3 700e- most of these hit 1ghz, however are they garunteed to at the very least 933 ?
any pentium 3 "e" series, 800e, 750e, etc - the entire line seems to do very well as far as OC'ing, any comments ?

thanks

The p3 700e is a really good cpu for that.Plus its way faster than any celeron at the stock speed.I like it.

First of all I don't want you to get the impression that any of these are "gauranteed" to hit anything. There are p3 700's that don't even make it to 900. With that in mind the best one for your setup is the P3 700 you will probably get the most out of that. Good luck,

i have one of those chips whihc wouldn't get past 850 but then i eventually burned in to 890 and then i bought an alpha pep66 and a 38 cfm delta fan it got me to where i am now.

Get a P3-750 Set the FSB to 133 & Aim for the Gig.

i'd say go for the 700 since there are lots of success stories of the 700 and berely any of 750s. I am thinking about getting another 700 just to se how well it overclocks versus my "dud"

 

I have a p3 700, that i can only get up to 840 stable so far.
This was a "guraanteed" chip, but Its not looking soo good.
And the MSI 815e pro is causing some problems, but from what I hear its better then the cusl2, Im hoping to try my chip on another board or another chip on my board. To see whos the culpret.

I have a 700E at 933mhz at default voltage. I have to back it down to 868 for UT to run but I ordered a CL geforce II GTS and I'm hoping that will take care of that problem as my TNT2 ultra isn't really big on the 89MHZ AGP.

So I would go with the 700E also.

P3 700e all the way. You can almost always hit 868 at least. I have a 700@994 with borrowed ram (I cant afford my own yet)with no problem.

my p3-700 just can do 882, before that can do 933, i run seti for 14 hour something and it's stable on 933, after i restart my computer it's wont post again at 933, i dont know why, i didnt change anything

P3 700E @ 1GHz @ 1.65v

Just try to get a lucky week 20 chip

Recently I just got my Cel566mhz, and it runs at 566 - 765 using 1.5v, and can go up to 850 using 1.65v. Doesn't have good cooling to higher because it's too warm to use only intel original fan and heatsink.

 

[ZeroBurn]

sounds good, the 700e sounds like even at the worst chip it'll do better then a 566 can/will

anyone have any suggesstions on the best place to pick one up, or a week20 ?

 

[Drakkhen]

Well, my fastest one so far is my 650E. It is currently running at 910Mhz (140mhz FSB) at 1.75v. Doesn't seem to want to do the dance at 150mhz FSB, though.
