Does a celeron use the 3.3 V line?

[fely]

Which power line does the processor use? Is it the 3.3 V one? I have 2 celeron 366 Mhz running at 572 Mhz. That's 2 x 30 W at 2.0 V. Where do they get their power from? My power supply is rated 14A at 3.3 V. Is that enough??

Any help would be appreciated!

The power is derived from the 3.3v and your pushing the limit if your 30watt calculation is correct. I assume you hace calculated this because of your overclock. Your supply maxes out at 46watts, not good. Plus your memory needs 3.3v also.

Yes I have calculated it with radiate. A small program to find the power dissipation of different processors @ different voltages and speeds.

My 570 Mhz Celeron Mendocino @ 2.0 V is rated 30 W.

I have 2 of them on 1 BP6.
But how does this work, because my power supply is rated 3.3V / 14 A = 46 Watts. The processors are alone 60 W. And my RAM (2x128 MB) 2 x 8 W I think. Is this this to much for the power supply?

I can overclock my 366 Mhz celerons flawlessly to 572 Mhz @ 2.0 v BUT when I go any higher, it will lock. Is this a power problem?

At 108 Mhz the pci speed is not to high, because I tested at 72 Mhz (pci = 36 Mhz) and it works great. What can the problem be??

I think that you have answered your own question. A bigger PS is required.
