C2 566 or 600 for O/C?

[Wulf]

Im going to get another C2 but havent decided on which I want to get. Ive had 2 566's and both O/ced very nicely(892 and 875mhz). But the 600's are about the same price now so I was thinking of going for 900+mhz with one. Anyone had much luck with the 600's?

take a look at overclockers.com database

the 566 is best for overclocking as you know but I haven't heard too many good things baout the 600

My roommate's Celeron 600 is running at 900MHz 1.8v in his BH6 right now.

Also to add, he's got an Alpha PEP66 with 28.3CFM fan.

I am hoping for 900 at 1.7 volts. No way to know ahead of time. Probably too many factors involved to say how it may work.

You'll get a better chance of overclocking either a celeron 533a or 566. The 600 is a hit and miss deal. I have two 600 and both won't even get pass 93 fbs!!!! My three 566 at least overclock to 100 fbs(850MHz). The highest is 120 fbs which would be 1023 Mhz!!! I would say 80 to 90% of 533 would overclock at least to 800, and 75 to 85% of 566 would overclock at leat to 850, but the 600 is about 30 to 40% would overclock to 900.
