Celeron 300A - How far will it go with a Dual fam/heatsink combo???

[TechyJono]

I have a Celeron 300A and I am wondering how far this will clock with a dual fan/heatsink combo.

multiplier??
FSB??
Voltage??

Mutliplier is locked at 4.5. Can't change that.

In terms of speed, you should be able to hit 450MHz (4.5 x 100) without too much difficulty, and if you are lucky, you might be able to reach 504MHz (4.5 x 112). That's probably as far as you can go with the Celeron 300A, although you might be able to go a little further. It's highly doubtful that you would get up into the 550MHz area, even if you did increase the voltage.

The fastest one I ever tested did 527 @ 2.2v. There were very few of those.

I have a retail 300A that hits 427 @ 2.1V, 464 MHz at 2.2V. Anything higher is unstable, no matter how high I set the voltage. Currently I run it at 450, 2.2V with temperatures reading 50C with a dual fan setup (replaced the retail HSF) in Quake III. Quake III is not that great to stress a CPU I have found. While doing some photoshop the other day I watched the temperatures spike to over 70C.

I used to have a Slot 1 300a that did 464 at default voltage
couldn't change the voltage on my P2B so I guess I got lucky

I've had a couple Celerons 300a's that would run 504 @ default Voltage , but only one that would run 527 @ 2.2v


Still have one one 300a that runs 504 @ default & one that runs 450 @ default.

Just can't seem to let go.
