im sure you all saw my post where i sated i purchased a celeron 600 cc0 for the same price as a thunderbird 850. you all told me that it was a dumb move. i then went on to diss the crap out of amd. simply because i was defensive for being told that amd is better just to rub my purchase in my face.
well i still am not comfortable with what it takes to o/c an amd. i am not the type that gets into the exotic o/c.
well, i had my cely 566 runing at 953+ for almost a year before it blew up. not due to being overclocked but do to a shorted power supply.
so when i asked a vender who is my friend what i should purchase from him. he stated buy the cely 600 cc0 from him for $87 instead of the t-bird 850 for $91.
he further told me it would hit 1 gig like a peice of cake, or he would replace it. now that over a week has gone by i do not if that deal still stands.
well first let me state that i am not new to overclocking or computers for that matter. in fact i used to frequent the old board a long time ago. surlyjoe may indeed remember me, since i remember him.
anyways heres the kicker, the damn chip wont even hit the 100mhz bus! i have as much air cooling as is humanly possible. 7 case fans plus alpha pep66 with delta 38cfm. artic silver. the problem may indeed lie in the fact that i was "forced" to purchase a soyo sy-6ba+100 for the mainboard, as it is the only board left with 2 isa slots. wich i need. i wont get into why.
the chip was NOT pretested!
i know how overclocking adventures are supposed to be fun, and i may at some point get this up there. although it doesnt look hopefull since i already broke it in for 6 days before i even attempted to o/c it.
if you have any suggestion for me i would really appreciate it.
i would just go bite the bullet and get the amd now. im sure the vender will no longer allow that.
anyways, if you read my other post you may feal i got what i deserved. if that is how you feal, you are entitled to feal that way. if you want to offer advice, that would be very nice. we filled up the last post with intel vs. amd. enough of that. we already established neither one is better than the other. they both have their pros and cons. i dont know why amd people read the intel board and vice versa. unless people want to come over to the other side? i used to read the geforce board and look for people with problems, so i could tell myself geforce sucks. just to make myself feal better since i couldnt afford one, and desperatly wanted one.(i now have one).
im sure the usual story one would provide with the celeron 600 cc0 is they took it out of the box and it went 1008mhz. so maybe mine is just a dud. once again, it just goes to show, you win some, you lose some. no matter what brand of processor you chose.
any help on this matter is greatly appreciated,
