Overclocking Celeron 366

[subconcept]

How far do you guys think a celeron 366 with stock heatsink be overclocked. I do not no much about celerons so Im unaware of what I could reach and if this would be suffient cooling. This is what the heatsink on it looks like.

Slot 1 right. Judging by the heatsink and the way it's attached.

That's a SL37Q or SL376.

It has the same (mA0) core as the C300A and so will reach the same range of speed.

5.5 x 83 -> 458 is a good expectation.

Some chips don't reach that with 2Volt.
Then up it some.

(search for B119)

If you're very lucky, you might make 550mhz(100). Some of the ones made later on could do it fairly easily. I'm not sure about yours though. The only way to find out for sure is to do it, so get to it!

Just the heatsink seems a litle bit shy for greater attempts.... Even a cheappo goldenorb would vut it to 550 :)

Hopefully going to get to it tomorrow.

This system its in isnt to good

NIC
2 1 GB hds
Not sure of the mobo (got it for free from a friend)
Celeron 366
pc66 64mb of sdram
an isa video card from 486 LOL (im going to get a little ati 16 mb or something and bigger hd

Just as an extra comp.

I hope i dont have to do any voltage mods or anything. I am very new to ocing, so this is all a learning experience.

And you'll probably want to ditch that PC66 as well, and go for some PC100 at least.

Thats if the board supports it

Yeah, try to run it at 3x3x3 timings on the bios... Set the sdram latenct to more nanoseconds (ns) 10, 12, or more ns, even 60ns if the ram starts to crappy arround when you up the FSB....
I´ve seen very very cheappo 16mb ati all in wonder in pricewatch.... I´d go for one of those :D 18 bucks and you got a TV tuner more!!! Just search...
What´s the board name? Check it manual in the web if necessary and take look on it voltage support....

Cheers :burn:
