Intel PIII 700E overclock specs - voltage FSB +speed for 933 Please

[Toejam]

Gday would like to clock my cpu to 7 * 133 (933) but would like a stable voltage for standard heatsink fan if possible and do I need to set my AGP divider to 2/3 for Leadtek GeForce 2MX (overclocked to 201/202)- cheers for your help - Toejam

Mine needs about 1.75v Vcore for 133FSB(933MHz) You may not be able to get it very stable with the oem hsf since they run warm enough under load that some chips aren't too happy. Get an Alpha or similar cooler- it will be the best investment you will make for overclocking.

I have a cb0@1GHz with an Alpha PEP66 on BF6 @1.85v
I have 2x cc0@1GHz with PEP66s on a VP6 @ 1.8v

Ok I've shouted myself a golden orb so 1.75v + 133 * 7 should be fine Correct?

i have a P3 cbo oem code SL3XX and it won't go over 950 mhz. I should be happy but it's only hitting 135 mhz bus and my system will do 143 stable with other chips. I have an Alpha PEP66 modified to fit a BX-133 and I have an 80 mm fan on it. Under full load it requires 1.9V to run stable and doesn't go over 34 deg cel. The chip requires 1.9V to run at anything over 132 mhz FSB regardless of temp. 950 mhz isn't bad but 1 gig is so much better!

If your processor is happy at 1.75v you should be set. Many need more Vcore for stability. In some cases, the orbs have proven inadequate for picky cpus as well. My experience with orbs has shown them to be on par with the Intel hsf, and for a lot of chips they won't keep them cool enough under load to provide real stability.

As for 1GHz being "so much better" than 950- other than bragging rights, the difference is negligible. A few percent isn't going to affect operation at all, and even in benchmarks it will be a VERY small margin.

To answer your original question ....yes, set your AGP divider at 2/3 and your PCI divider at 1/4
