Is 1.9V too high for Cele2 600?

Oh, it's running at 100FSB now. Should I try 2.0V or above and try 133? I only have stock HS/fan.

hrmmm.. 1.9V is the highest i've ever ventured with my 533A. Personally i wouldn't go any higher especially without more adaquate cooling. If your chip requires 1.9 to hit 100fsb you'll never reach 133. A fsb of 133 would be a processor speed of 1197 and that is near the limit of the coppermine core. I suggest moving a little slower. I would get a new hsf and apply some paste. That *should* allow you to drop the voltage and may even let you increase the speed some more.

About your temp, is the processor under a load when you get this temp? or is it idle?
If under load your its fine but could be improved upon if not and it idles at 41C then you should no doubt look into some better cooling before resuming.

Don't you mean you wouldn't go any higher without adaquate cooling?

I have a 633 Celeron that I have been running at 1.95 v for about 2 months with out any ill effects.

Depends on if it is a cB0 or cC0 stepping. I think 1.9/1.95 is fine for cC0, 1.85 should be the limit for cB0.

How can I know if it's cc0 or cb0? I just noticed that my default is 1.7V, which makes me feel better for 1.92V, actually running at 1.88V now.

when i connected the VID1, VID2 and VID0 pins of my old cb0 celeron 566

the default voltage changed from 1.5 to 1.65

i was running fine then
