Vmodding a Willamette s478

[Killmenow]

Hi,

I was trying to find some vmodding guides online for Willamette s478 P4's, but the only guides I found were for Northwoods. I was wondering if the process and pins are more or less the same.

Thx

dont bother, seriously dont bother

It theoretically should be, but the default Vcore of a Willamette is ~1.75V as opposed to the ~1.5V of the Northwood, so if you can find info on >1.8V, it should work. All of the links I had on this seem to be no longer functioning.

But as Thugsrook said (and if anyone should know about overclocking, it's him), Willy's really don't OC well. In my limited experience (2x 1.7GHz Willy Celerons), they only got to about 1.9GHz no matter how much voltage I pumped into them... Not to mention that my PIII Celeron at 1750MHz is WAY faster than the Willies!
