celeron oc questions

[saimike]

guys,

is there a gd procedure to determine the best a cpu can oc to? one that will minimize the time i spend fiddling around? i discharged my cmos so many times last nite when i was trying to see what fsb/vcore i can oc my celery1100 to ... there's got to be a better way ...

thanks!

iono dude, its pretty much @ its limit there is cD0 steppings can go as far as around 1200mhz, so you might be able to do 1232 ( 11 x 112mhz ) at like a vcore of 1.9v ??????

umm, so i guess i'll just have to discharge the cmos everytime i go overboard with the fsb?

yeap just do it in 1mhz increments, how high are you trying anyway?!@

i'm at 110fsb now ... with the intel hsf ...

how high vcore should i go? 1.95? 2?

This also depends on the mobo that you are using. High quality mobos would perform better with no BIOS corruption at overclocks marginally above the limit.

abit bf6 with msi v2.3 slotket and a sl5xr celery 1100 coppermine. currently doing 112fsb @1.9v with intel hsf ...

Lots of variables
I've got a Celeron 667 that will OC to 1GHz @ 1.8v, on a BX6 using a slocket. The same CPU won't hit 1GHz on my SA6R @ 1.9v.

You can check the CPU database at Overclockers.com to get some kind of idea what ballpark the chip in question might hit.

Some motherboards will clear the CPU settings in CMOS (without losing other settings) if you hold down the "Insert" key when you're turning on the system. If your board lets you do that, then you can save a lot of hassle. You can also hook up a wired switch to the clear CMOS pins so that you don't have to open the case to do a jumper every time.

thanks for that info, i'll try the insert key ...

fwiw, so far its still 112@1.9v ... i have had it boot up at 117 once and even benchmarked it at that fsb ... 115@1.9 is also do-able but it'll hang after a while of 100% cpu utilization. the cpudatabase at overclockers.com seem to suggest a 50-50 chance at landing in the 1200-1300 band and the 1300-1400 band ... then again i suppose i'm doing ok since i'm using the intel hsf still.
