Burn-in- Speed?

[Ashyukun]

I'm working on burning-in my new Celeron 600 to try and get it to run stably under heavy load at over a gig, and a was wondering at what speed I should be burning it in at. I've got the voltage set at 1.95v (though Sandra and the BIOS show it as 2.0v... wierd), and currently running quite happily at 900. Is it better to burn it in back down at 600 instead of at 900? And (since I'm terminally curious) why? Thanks!

Yep, run it at default clock speed and 1.9-2.0 volts for at least 12 hours (preferrably 24).

Only 12-24 hours? I was under the impression that is took longer than that.... not that I'll complain if that's true- I've been running Seti@home one it for the last few days (with occasional bouts of running UT as well), so if it is, it should be nicely burned in...

every chip is different. could take a few hours, could take a month...just try the higher fsb's and see how she does

with my cCO 600 I burned in for about 3 months at 600mhz with 2v but only about 10-12 hours a day, after this I could run up to 750mhz with just 1.3v, and only needed 1.55v for 900mhz (needed 1.75 previously) 1.01ghz would run ok at 1.9v but would fall over in prime95 at less than 2.2v, so set the speed back down to 600mhz and burned in at 2.2v for another month or so, during this time I also added 4 extra 80mm fans, lapped my heatsink, installed a voodoo2 card and changed my agp vid card to one that brought my vio voltage down from 3.4v to 3.33v, one or all of these things now meant that I needed 1.65v for 900mhz, 1.01ghz has stayed the same so it has been a wasted experience for me as I am stuck at 900mhz the same as when I got it, granted I can run at a lower voltage for this, and I can sort of run at 1.01ghz which I couldn't before but I am no better off from it really

yeah, i use prime95 and sisoft sandra to burn my P3 750 at least 12hrs a day and continue for 1 week. now it can let me to boot up to 1 gig @2.05V with a temp below 30C. hope can drop to 1.95V for 1 gig!! i also burn in at default FSB, but sometime rise it to 900MHz or above if i need more speed!! hehe!! :) :)

*nods* I've been burning in this chip for the better part of the last week... the first half running @900, 2.0v by running Seti@home (which takes like 30 hours or so per work unit) and occasionally running UT on top of that when I'm around and bored (I have to admit that I'm impressed that it can do both at the same time and not have UT suck!), and then for the last 3 days or so I dropped it down to stock speed (600) and did the same. Today I decided to check what I could do, and I can now get it to run stably at 990Mhz @1.95V (1.9V set on the slocket... for some reason the MoBo monitor and the BIOS always show the voltage as .05v higher than the slocket setting, so I count the higher to be safe...). I'm defining 'stable' as being able to do the aforementioned- run SETI@home and play UT for an hour and a half. :) I'll probably see about kicking the voltage up and the speed down and running SETI while I'm gone at work during the day and then the voltage down and the speed back up when I get back and want to actually use it. Does anyone have any idea on what effect swapping back and forth would have?

I have tried burning in my 800E many times with no avail! It's also been overclocked since the day I took it out of the box but can't seem to get the voltage down at all. I'm maxed at 1.9v's and would love to get it down to 1.8 or so. But no go with this chip! Stubborn as hell!
