Well. First of all I want to let you know that I did the wire trick MYSELF without soldering at all.. Just took som very fine strands of copper from my hifi speaker cables.. I managed to make it go around the two pins in a ring.. and I put on a tiny ammount of glue to keep it in place and then I put the cpu back in and to my surprise it actually worked!!! 1.675 V default!!! I'm soooo friggin proud of myself :)

However.. that didn't help my overclocking one bit. I can go up to 120 mhz fsb and everything i fine. But that is with the 3:3:1 divider.
If I go up to 4:4:1 I can't boot at all at any speed!.. what is wrong?

I have two mosel vitelic 128 meg dimms, rated at cas2 @ 133 mhz.

Did I miss something?.. I can't even make it boot at 101 mhz using 4:4:1 but 120 is fine at 3:3:1.

PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!

I am using a celeron 1.0a on abit VH6-t and it runs quite happy at 1.4 GHz (140 FSB) with the pinhole wire trick (1.7V)... much easier and safer than wrapping the pins. Check the forums at overclockers.com for info...

It may be that your celeron 1.2 just runs out of go at 120 fsb... thats not a bad overclock, many people have got to 1.5~1.6 though. You might want to try bumping the voltage to 1.7-1.75 and try setting the fsb to 128 straight off, sometimes components dont like being underclocked too much, hard disks for example. Also set your RAM to the lowest setting (CAS 3 and slow mem timings) and unplug any unneccesary hardware like cd-rw, dvd, extra hdds etc. Dont be too tempted to boost the voltage past 1.8, that may fry your chip. Good Luck~!

Sounds like some BIOS issue. Is there an "auto" setting?
