How high would you push the voltage on a cel 466?

Okay, here's a blast from the past. I'm using this cpu in a kids computer.

It's not stable at 583@2.2v. Can I safely push it to 2.3v or higher?

2.3 volts would be the most I would be willing to push.

I wouldn't do it. 2.2v was widely regarded as the max safe voltage at the time, iirc. The 466's were not regarded as good overclockers because of the relatively high multiplier. You've got a snowball's chance in hell of hitting 100 fsb, and at 83fsb everything else is way out of spec., besides being very near the max for the original celeron design. Few would run 600mhz.

Back off to 75fsb, crank down the voltage, be happy. Investigate the possibility of flashing the bios to use a celeron2 (fcpga, not fcpga2)- they're extremely inexpensive, a 1gig model sells for about $50+ shipping.... Your slotket (if your board uses one) may/may not work, but the hsf should, and a new generic slotket is only about $6. The 66mhz fsb celeron2's appear to be long gone, they were very good overclockers, most would hit 100fsb with ease.

If the bios isn't upgradeable, then you're pretty well stuck.....
