Max temp for celery...

[OLeung]

What temp do u run ur Celery @??

[batboy]

My old C-566 would start getting flakey at 42-44 degrees, so I tried to keep temps down below 40 degrees.

Mine runs nice and cool, 19-22 idle and 32 at most- despite high voltage (1.65 default running at 1.9). alpha with a delta 38 keeps it cool. it's not the greatest chip, i had to really coax her up to 100fsb and she absolutely won't go above 105 no matter what I try. Even though it's not super fast it is a good chip because I had to try all the tricks to get to its upper limit. One machine I plugged in a cely 600 and it walked right up to 1 gig at default voltage! maybe i should have switched chips...

Mine, like batboy's, tends to get flaky in the low 40s. So, since the one and only time she hit 41c @994 @ 2.05v, I've not let her get above 36c. Of course I've backed the voltage down to 1.90.

I got similar results w/ mine, too.

Keep the temps under 40c, and you will be fine. This is best achieved by NOT BUYING A GORB!

Spring for a good hsf, and the extra $$ spent initially, will be more than paid back buy not having to buy a large bottle of aspirin, to get rid of the headaches these things cause........

to find the max tempa a celery can take, do the following

a) go into bios and look at temperatures there
b) take of HSF
c) keep watching the temperature rise.
d) take the temperature it reaches before it finally burns out.

Take a few steps back from that burn-out temperature and thats how hot you can go!

I was just running into this problem today.
My son has my old 566 celery in his computer and he said it was slow!!!(they start young :) Anyway This chip is a pain in the A** to overclock at 100fsb.
had it up to 1.9v after the bios trick on a BX6-2 which turned out to really be 1.95v and still no go.
so I now have it at 75fsb and left it at 1.95v to try the burn in thing, any other advice?????? 3 hours now of stability Test going...
also it had a gold orb on it (I forgot it did, what a waste)
I don't have any other Good heatsink for that type of chip. I used to run a TEC on it to get 850.
so I had to use the crap orb, but I took the so called fan off and epoxyed a Delta to it (blowing down)
and the thing works good. with full load at 1.95v
it stayed under 100F about 36- 37c
I'll keep trying to get to that 850 mark.
any tips would be great.
