Check pcprogress. They have some OEM chip too. You want to try and find a phillipine made chip. The malay chips have not been OC'n as nice. Seen some hit 1600MHz with a phillipine chip at 1.5v. That is sweet

I noticed that pcprogress lists their 1200 Celerons as 0.18 micron. I guess they haven't measured them yet.

You will get a malay chip there. I would look around and ask a few places if they can for the phillipine made chip. Like i said these chips like lower voltages on the OC like any other but the .13u process is a little bit more picky. I would say if you have to hit anything above 1.8v it is not good with this chip without really good cooling. If you want a low clocker then order form googlegear like me. If you want a good clocker then look for a phillipine made chip. Not sure how pushy you canbe but you can ask them to find out if the chip is made in the phillipines or not. i know a few places that have done that for me. You may have to call their warehouse for them to check and I wouldn't guarentee you will get the chip they told you about. I would simply ask for the place the chip is made.

If they say,

"why do you want to know that?"

Tell them,

"Cause I want to know and if you want a sale you will tell me!"

If you don't get any straight answers I would maybe order OEM with a year warranty casue I don't know anyone yet that has got one of those and they may all be made in the Phillipines. Every one I know so far has ordered retail which is not bad either but most of them have been Malay chips and average OC'rs. You want something that will hit 1.6@ 1.65v max. That is the phillipine made chip. I have never heard of many of the Malay chips doing this.

Hmmmm, I guess that is your problem. I think they have self help groups for that don't they. I think it is called underclockers anonymous.

 

[GregMal]

No, no help needed. I know where my bread is buttered. Wife and kids say keep that
PC stable and running OR ELSE!!!!
So no experimentation on the old home PC, sigh..............

Not sure why one would not want a good OC'r cause I wouldn;t consider it OC'd if the temps were avaerage for the chip and it was a tank but hey, that is just me

When your temps are way out in never never land and vcores are through the roof then I would use the term OC'd in a big way. You know what I mean?

I mean if you can take a celery 1.2 and get 1.6 out of it and keep vcores within like %5~%10 of the defualt value then you are sitting very good and if your temps are under say 37 deg. C then I would wrap it up and and call it good. It will remain at that setting for many a year and the box itself will be good for at least a year or longer with keeping up with current software. Who am I kidding they haven't even made software except games that will use all that hurtz. Can you dig what I am saying?

 

[AkumaX]

can you dig it???

googlegear still got tax

Alot of people, in fact most of them If you are going to OC though I would go with a OEM Phillipine made chip. What part of that don't you understand. With that I would get the year warranty they give you when you buy a fan or whatever. Get a good COPPER HS and the OEM chip and you should hit 1600MHz. With a Malay chip you are not guarenteed that. The ranges for th Phillipines chip seem to be in the 1600~1700MHz @ 1.6v range while the Malay chip s seem to be in the 1550~1650MHz @ 1.75v range. Can you see the correlation here? You want the phillipine made chip
