Can I Overclock My P2-400?

[Sporko]

I am running it on a P2B with 128MB of generic PC100 ram and intel hsf. I understand that the multiplier is locked on these chips so I would have to increase the fsb. Is it worth the effort, especially with stock cooling?

not much. I use to have one and I could only get 448 via the 112mhz bus. You may be able to squeeze out a little more.

what the heck give it a try.

I had one,it would do 498(4x124=498)on an abit mobo.Thats a good chip .

My P2 350 did 490mhz (140mhzFSB) on my P2B.

I could only get 4x112mhz = 448mhz on my P2-400mhz machine using an ABIT BX6r2.

p2 350's are amazing overclockers.
get the sl356, mine did 466 @ 2.1v, with stock (junk) cooling.
With an Alpha, I bet 525 is reachable.

I had a PII400 and could it could only do 448 max ... could never get it about that.

It tried to Overclock a PII450 and it would not do s*&t! Loved my 350 and it is still pumping out the mhz in a computer I built for my dad.

Yep, about 450 is the most you can hope for on one of those.
