Just bought this, now how do I OC it

[Ulfwald]

Just bought this board http://tyan.com/products/html/tiger100_p.html, it is the revision F. I plan to put dual Pentium® III 667EB SLOT1 (SECC2) , 133MHz Bus, 256KB Coppermine, SECC2 on this motherboard. I wan to get the most out of it. I already have modded the case for cooling, and will be using Golden orbs for the heatsinks. Any suggestions?

I cant see where that board supports beyond 112MHz fsb, unless there is a bios update that is not showing in the manual. If it goes to 133, it would be great to be able to run 650s or 700s. You're not gonna be able to do much with 667, as those dont give you much headroom, if the board can support them. Those have 5 x multiplier, so at 133 obviously there is no overclocking to be done. You can take 2 600s and run them at 112MHz and have dual 672, thanks to the higher multiplier (6 x, vs 5 x). Dual 650s at 112MHz give you 728.
If you have dual 650s running at 133, now you're cooking at 865!
Make any sense? The EB series processors are not a good deal for overclocking.

Thanks for the information. Now where to find the dual 650s. Any suggestions?

Is this what you are talking about? Pentium® III 650MHz SLOT1, SECC2 - OEM

Or this one

-Pentium III 650E 100MHz BUS, 256KB Coppermine, SLOT 1, SECC - OEM

You almost can't overclock with a tyan. But PC nut carries those CB0 slot ones at 100Mhz so they have to make some CB0 @ 133.. just have to look, was told pcnuts price is a bit higher.. dunno, never order from them..

The two 650's you listed above are the same, I believe. Anything up to 800 Mhz will run in that board as long as it's not for a 133 mhz bus. That's what Compuwiz 1 was saying - it's got to be for a 100 mhz bus and not over 800.
