I got a AsUS P2B-F mobo.... can i run it at 100mhz FSB stably?


i also wanted to know if anyone got a Coppermine CPU to work on a P2B-F.....

I tried 550... and it POSTed 550mhz and windows wouldnt boot (it kept restarting itself, do i need to increase voltage?

PPGA could do 550MHz pretty easily, I had one that would do it at default voltage, and 600MHz at 2.2volts. That was a nice CPU.

Agreed....most will do 550, and a few will do 604. Very few wont make 550.

do i need speical cooling.... iam jsut using a a SUNON fan with sum heatsink... it also seems to have this thermal stuff and it aint sticky and its black....

iam getting a golden orb forsocket 370 soon... will it work on PPGA.... thanks...

I have a Celeron 366 on a Soyo 6BA +IV running at 605. I had to increase the voltage a bit but it's rock stable.

I just tried 366 @ 75mhz FSB @ 2.0v and it works fine....
I tried 550... at 100mhz FSB @ 2.05v.... passes the POST then it goes to the screen that shows ur stuff and IRQs and stuff and it freezes, just the floopy drive light is on... on.... on.....

I tried 550 at 2.1v it passes POST and shows Windows Screen and then it reboots itself all the time....

do i need to increase the voltage?

You should be OK at 2.2v. Do you have a good HSF? The chip is going to get pretty warm at higher voltages.

If it boots up at 2.2v but then locks up or isn't stable after running a while, get a better HSF. If you're going to overclock this chip I'd get a good HSF anyway. When the chip gets too hot it causes the system to be unstable.

My 2nd PC still has my Cel 366 @ 550 ,been running for 1.5 yrs :).Thats at 2.1v (was a little unstable at 2.05v).It could also run at 578 MHz @ 2.15v but it wasn't entirely stable ,this is with a fairly large HSF.
With the std retail HSF it would go no higher than 550 MHz @ 2.15v.I also had additional case fans though.

Most of them would hit 550MHz, but there were still a fair number that wouldnt hit much above 500MHz, a small number could do around 600MHz.

The P2B-F wasnt really made to be an overclockers board though.

I ran a 366 celery(PPGA) on an Asus P2-99 for 2 years. It ran at 458(83Mhz bus) with just a crappy fan and heatsink, no thermal paste, no voltage bump. It ran for short times at 550(100Mhz bus). So with a good fan and heatsink and more voltage, 550 easy, 600 probably.

Had one that would run 652mhz @2.1 volts on my CUSL2 (tried it just to play) It had run at 618mhz on a BX board (2.1 also) it was the best of several I had tried... it was a week 45. I also had several week 35`s all of them would run 550 @2.0, the main thing is cooling I mean good cooling... I used GW FDP32`s that were lapped to the slug and I mean perfect...! Good luck and when you get tired of them (366`s) You`ll have lots of fun with Celeron II`s.... ;)
