P4 2.4 (b) O'Clock - Success?

[Sammy5000]

I have been tinkering with my P4 2.4b (533 Mhz) rig (Giga-byte GA-8SQ800 mobo), and have it steady at 2.97 ghz (165x18) after upping my vcore to 1.650. Temps are good (34 mobo, 38 cpu when idle). Is there a website that tracks normal o'clocks of different cpus? I could of sworn I visited a site once, but my memory is failing.

Thanks sellman. This was exactly the site I visited.

What kind of memory are you using with that? I'm just curious because I originally bought one of those motherboards and had a ton of trouble with RAM on it. But with the generic stuff it ran great. Oh and my results are below in the sig. \/

4 sticks of 256MB Crucial (PC2700) DDR333 - no issues thus far.

For some reason, when I go to change my fsb in the bios to 166, it reverts back to 165? Now, I am not an expert to o'clockin, so I am not sure if there is something else I am missing. Also, when I initially o'clocked, I left my vcore at 1.550 at 165, and there were some instability problems. Once I upped the vcore, I am stable at 165 and have not tried to go over the 166 mark. Kinda wierd though that my bios does not like 166 for some reason.
