P2 233.. how much is too much ?

[XBoxLPU]

It is the Klamath processor and currently right now it is running at 300mhz. 100 FSB and 3.0 clock ratio. Anything higher seems to give lockups and program lock ups in Windows.

I am a little worried about CPU temps, do these chips get hot ? is my PCI pushed to far ?

Thanks

OK, do these chips get hot?? Yes, very hot. The Klamath series only spanned from 233MHz to 300MHz and due to the heat output of the chips was the main reason that slot design processors were used as it was the only way to dissipate so much heat fast enough. Running these chips overclocked will produce some fantastic temperatures and dont be surprised if the temp diode gives readings in the 60'C range.

As far as the AGP divider goes, it depends on the motherboard. If its in a 440BX motherboard, it shouldn't be a problem as it was designed for 100MHz FSB use. If its in a 440LX chipset there could be problems.

vss1980, there is no temp diode in the klamaths...

It is the AOpen AX6BC ...

I just moved it down from 3.0 to 2.5 and still at 100 FSB. Only OC to 250mhz. I think my CPU temps should be fine now.

I know there is no temp diode on the klamath chips, they introduced them on the deschutes (why did intel chose a name with that kind of spelling????) cores.

However, any motherboard that is worth having should have a diode sitting right next to the slot and preferably be flexible so it is in contact with the heatsink as the chip is inserted.

Yeh i know... the cpu temps are worrying me a little bit. But I do think that only a 17mhz + increase can't raise it that bad.
