Coppermine CPU chips have a 1.13 gig maximum so how can you overclock over that and its still stable ? I mean not even intel could make it, they took back there 1.13cpu's. Im confused......

Intel can't sell the CPUs at a reasonable price AND included the kind of cooling that requires speeds above 1100mhz. Although you will see instances of this, it is very rarely an exceptional chip -- it's usually old fashion cooling techniques and plenty of knowhow.

Now you see the challenge OCers face, that's why there's 2,000+ post in this folder alone.

If you see a p3 running that fast its running overvoltage & supercooled.
Intel cant sell a chip to the public that requires a peliter or other exotic cooling.
Odds of getting a "super chip" are low.
Also dont belive everything you read.
