Tualatin overclocking

[InverseOfNeo]

I am about to build a dual Tualatin system. I was just wondering about how much I can overclock the things.

Based on what I've seen from the Celeron Tualatins (same core) they can overclock to about 1.5-1.6GHz's. With luck and/or extreme cooling I've seen 1.7-1.8GHz's. You also need to feed them more voltage with either the mobo or the VID pin trick.

For clarification, its a P3 Tualatin@1.26Ghz



<< the VID pin trick >>


What is that?

By looking at the Intel voltage chart and identifying your chip's default voltage you can then use a strand of copper wire to short a couple of the CPU pins and increase dramatically your default voltage. Real useful in overclocking when the mobo actually sets a range of voltages and do not reaches the max 1.85 volts.

Ooooh tell me more!

InverseOfNeo, for you, you don't need to vid pin for your P3S chip. Your chip is rated@ default 133mhz fsb. It'll let you overclock the fsb to 166fsb+ with maybe a little of Vcore increase. Many P3S oc well with stock vcore. The question is... do you have a good overclocking RAM? Having a dud memory would hold you back from OC'ing your chip. We are talking some high FSB's here. Btw, I like your chip.. yummy...

You might wanna pluralize that cuz its a dual P3S system.

The ram I got is micron pc2100 ram. I am gonna be using the IWill DVD266u-RN motherboard.
