I bought a new K6-3 333MHz and I've been trying to overclock it to at least 380MHz without having very many problems. So far, here are the speeds I've tested, along with CPUMark99 scores:
333MHz (95*3.5) = 34.2
336MHz (112*3) = 39.4
350MHz (100*3.5) = 41.9
380MHz (95*4.0) = 40.7
I started getting blue screens at 336MHz (112*3), so I decided to go back to what I was at before I tried it (350MHz [100*3.5]). After about thirty minutes, my computer froze all of the sudden... I turned it off and set it back to 333MHz (95*3.5). The fan that I'm using is at (http://www.3dcool.com/socketfreezer.shtml). The heatsink doesn't fit perfectly on the CPU, but it still sits flat on it. I've taken off the fan and put it on other heatsinks, but it doesn't really seem to help. I've also double-stacked two fans on top of each other to see what would happen (which I'm going right now at 350MHz [100*3.5])... Haven't had any problems yet.
I've been told that I might need to up the voltage if I try 336MHz (112*3) again... The only voltage I've used for any of these speeds is 2.2v. Has anyone had any experience overclocking this processor? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
