Push FSB to 100MHz on a Celeron533?

[steimm]

Celeron 533 (not A).

Is there any risk of frying the processor if I try to set the FSB to 100MHz? The chance of getting it upto 100MHz is none, but if I try will it crash forever or can it run after that?
How high risk do I take?

I'd like to get a CHEAP 533A instead, but here in Sweden they are too expensive right now...

If you can monitor your temps somehow, and have decent cooling, give it a shot. You'll know right away if it's go no go. be prepared to run it at the 75MHz bus

Get some decent cooling and check to see if the temps are ok. If it crashes then you know its not stable.

You'll be lucky to get a FSB of 75 or so. The Celeron 533's (which means it's a celeron based on the medencino... I believe), max out at about 600 mhz. You'll be lucky even if you get that high with your 533. You might want to try getting a 366 celeron, and overclocking it to 550 (100mhzFSB).
It will run much faster because of the improved FSB.
