Socket 370 Intel Celeron 400 Mhz runs stable at 450 Mhz.

Hi everyone, I'm new here and let me tell you, very nice boards. I have an Abit VH6 with a socket 370 Celeron 400 Mhz running smoothly at 450 Mhz (2.0 volts) but no higher. If I try 500 or 600 Mhz, my comp refuses to post, no video signal at all. Does this happen to anyone else? I was hoping for a post at least.

Thanks again.

A Celly at 75 Mhz FSB is often as far as they'll OC. Processors of the same stepping, batch, S-spec and day of manufacture OC separately. A good "pedigree" means nothing! The only "easy" option left to you is to increase the Core Voltage. Personally, 10% above spec is as far as I go. As this is already what you're running, it's up to you. It's up to you to decide if you can afford to toast this CPU.

I'm happy at 450 Mhz and won't be going higher.
Thanks for the reply.
