Overclocking my Pentium III 800E

[JAF]

If I overclock my Pentium III 800E, what I can get?

[Scorp006]

depends on your cooling, your mobo, your fsb, and a lotta other factors. but if u have good cooling and a...say 100mhz fsb, u should be able to at least go 100MHz higher.

Depends... check out the cpu database on the front page and my signature line suggestions.

My system is a P3 800mhz, 128mb PC133mhz. My motherboard runs at 133mhz.

If your new to overclocking I'd highly recommend the beginners guide on our sites main page. You will find it informative and it may answer many of the questions you might have.

PIII 700@1030 w/alpha, Abit BE6 II, Mushkin PC133 Rev2.0, Leadtek G'force DDR, Maxtor 20gig 7200RPM

Here is what I havegotten so far with my 800E. System is as follows:
Asus CUSL2 m/b 815 chipset
128 meg Infenion PC133 ram (cas3)
Golden Orb
CL Geforce2 GTS/Quadro 2 Pro
2 WD 15gig hdd
Plextor 12x burner
Creative 52x cd
Enlight mid-tower case.
Installed 800e Saturday. I could get it to post and load WinME up to 1016 (8x127). Nothing higher no matter what core voltage. Ran all weekend at 1000 untill last nite when after some heavy use gotta lockup and wouldn't load Win. at 1000, just fine at 960. Also had some lockups trying to run 3D Mark, nut that was Geforce as it only has standard cooling and with the 41 mhz pci bus it is running hot. Had a Alpha66 with the 38cfn fan and the Geforce GTS cooling kit shipped from 2CoolTek today. We'll see what happens. I was disappointed that I could not get 133fsb with the 800. That would cure my Geforce problems.

You need some burn in time and more voltage. I 800E would never post 133 before burn in. After burn in 2 days, wholla posted. Windows and most of apps run fine except for the burn in program because i maxed out my voltage 2.0v. Trying to get more :).

Cool, I know i got it hot enough last nite with the GoldenOrb that it wouldn't load WinME over 960. Can't wait for the Alpha to get here. I'm not trying for more until I get better cooling. I tried uppin the vio voltage but got a warning signal in post and it wouldn't go on. I need to look if the "Hardware Monitor" was causing it (just thought of that).
