I want more then 900 Mhz, please help me!

[-FrightM@re-]

Hi fellas I have a friend that just got a Celeron 600 cC0 and has it running stably at 900 with the user settings and the default 1.7 volts, he has it cooled with a Gorb a copper shim and arctic silver II, it seems really cool with Motherboard Monitor and his Abit BH6 (I dont know if the bios has been flashed but its a newer BH6).

He wants to get more out of it but just messing around (not really knowing what we were doing) we couldnt get it over the danm 901 Mhz it always used without it not even posting at all.

Can you give us the user defined stats you have your celeron 600's cC0 running at so that we can try 945 Mhz then hopefully try a Gig, thanks guys

You are probably going to have to up the voltage to get higher than 900mhz. My celeron 600 (w/golden orb) will run to about 950 at stock, then requires voltage increases to go up from there. Right now I'm @1050@1.92volts. I changed the voltage on my slotket to 1.9, and can then adjust it in small increments from the m-board. It will go higher, but I both need better cooling, and don't know if I really want to push the voltages higher.

My 600 cCO will run up to 927 (lack of fsb options on my board) at stock and runs at 1008mhz with 1.9v using Artic Silver and an FOP 32-1 with an 80mm 45cfm fan on it

I agree with the voltate suggestion above, my cB0 runs fine at 901 with 1.75 and will boot windows to at least 945, but get's glitchy (I have an alpha pep66, so it's not heat). I can run 927@1.75 fine in all but MCM2. You might also try removing the shim, I don't think you need it.

Also, consider that you won't get an enormous performance improvements that off-set the glitchyness you will encounter, IMHO. I just run mine at 901.

I'd try to raise the voltage up, and see what happens. There should be a bit more to that chip then. I'd say you could get 945 at 1.9v (mine does) and more if you push even harder.

I've got a pair of cC0 600's and the other one will run at 1053 MHz at 2.05v. I just backed off on that tonight, to 1009 @ 1.9v, but it was stable at the higher setting. Just lowered the settings to make it live easier.

The 945 chip wears a Gorb, the 1053 has an Alpha PEP66T.

Raise your voltage, watch your temps, and I bet you get to 945 or so with that

Good luck.

I bought one of those copper shims too. The day before it was delivered, I found an article showing that the shim is counter-productive with the FC-PGA chips, but helped cooling on the older chips. When I got it, tried using it on my C-566 anyway. The article was right, the copper shim sucks when using it with the newer flip chips.

I'm pretty sure the BH6 just has a motherboard temp probe and not a CPU probe. My guess is you're running a tad too warm with that Golden Orb. Once you get better cooling (maybe a case fan would help), bump up the voltage a bit.

Hi, I own a P Celeron 600 E PGA Flip Chip. I want to overclock it to about 800-900 MHz. Do you think a 3DCool.com 5500 RPM coller will be enough or do I need something faster? (My ICQ: 30433030 or e-mail sa14@home.com)

Thanks!

Many of us like the Alpha 6035 for our socket type heatsinks. How much does the 3Dcool unit cost and can you link to it? I couldn't find what you were referring to just by browsing their web site.

Your post seems to imply that you are concerned about the RPM of the fan. Higher fan speeds can be great but don't assume that if the fan is faster it has to be better than some other combo. The heatsink design allong with the cubic feet per minute that the fan moves across the sink is what counts.

The extra money that you spend on a nice heatsink will be worth it!
