Need Infos for stability testing for Celeron II 700 O/C

[Exiler]

First let me tell my Spec:

MotherBoard: ASUS CUSL2-C

CPU: Celereon II 700 @ 1.7 V (Default) (Socket 370 Flip Chip)

Video Card: No name Vid card Geforce 2 MX with
Cooling Kit I got from 2cooltek. Pasted with Arctic Silver Adhesive

RAM: Crutial CAS2 128MB PC-133
HDD: 13.2 GB UDMA 2 (33MB/s)

CPU FAN SPEED: 4500 with Intel RETAIL Fan I got when I bought my 700.

My questions are:

1) I have tried going at 934 MHZ, (89/133/44) and everything is fine. My temp was at 50C
I need to know what SHOULD be be correct temp for running my C @ 934? (Used ASUS Probe for temp)

2) What should my RPM for CPU FAN be to ensure full stable cooling?

3) I have Arctic Silver, just havent put it yet in my CPU yet, I believe I can get rid of the Thermal tape that is stuck on my Heatsink, but what about the Blue thing that was on the CPU DIE? How should I proceed to remove ALL traces, so I can apply my Arctic Silver Thermal Compund?

4) I need programs to fully test the stability of my C @934 MHZ . Can you please recommend which programs to use.

5) Can my PCI handle running at 44 FSB? from the 33 FSB. Any prog to test stability

6) How do I test that my DATA does not get corrupted with the o/c. Any specific Prog?

Testing with 3dMark 2001 @ (800X600 @ 32 Bit):
700 @ 3940
934 @ 4421

The only real way to test stablility is to play hardcore games over and over again until it is too much to handle. Or you can use a burn in program lol. I use cpu beta test and other stuff like that. I just made a cheapo server for quake 3 : Pentium 166 @ 180 48mb EDO 1.2gb virtual memory. I ran 8 bots and i ping @ 35ish. Not to bad huh? Well i then logged in with my Celeron II 700 @ 877 (83fsb 42pci---is perfectly ok on my ASUS P3V4X) @ 1.65v (1.7v default cC0) and made myself a spectator and with the settings all the way up, pushes my RADEON 32MB DDr @ 166/333 to the limit with my celeron. I am having a lan party tomorrow to really test this server. ANYWAY...I got screwed wiyth my motherboaqrd!!! I got the new revision P3V4X and i didn't get the 80, 85, 90, 95fsb settings, so i can't go higher then 83fsb for now. I can't post @ 100fsb. Can you? thanx alot l8ts hope i could help

Prime95 torture test will give you a pretty good idea how stable you are. I can't remember the link to the site, but look in Software and Operating Systems, and you should be able to find it there.
