Overclocking Pentium4 (478-pin) 1.5Ghz to 2.0Ghz
Posted by Nucleus on 16/10/01

I've just received an email from a close friend. He states that the new BIOS v.1004 for the Asus P4B will allow the ability to overclock your Pentium 4 (478-pin) upto 2.0Ghz.


" ... You can just set the voltage upto 1.85v. This should be able to overclock your CPU up to 2.0GHz. See for yourself ... and if it works, please let your readers know that they can have a 2.0GHz P4 at a fraction of the price 🙂

In our labs I've seen them overclock a 1.5GHz up to 1.9GHz+ using this method. As the CPU speed grades get higher, the % of overclock gets smaller. For example when we tested a 2.0GHz CPU and did the same overclock, it only went up to about 2.2Ghz...still not bad, but you begin to see the limitation of the Williamette CPU."

Remember, use this BIOS at your own risk.

I wasn't aware they made a Willamette core at 1.5GHz with the 478 pin package. I thought it was just the 2GHz chips.
 
Yeah ... the current 478-pin Pentium 4s are using the 0.18 Williamette cores ....

The next batch of 478-pin Pentiums 4s will be 0.13 Northwood cores ... and those should reach beyond 2.2Ghz + 🙂
