HELP ME OVERCLOCK MY PC

[Kaos]

Right this is a first for me so bare with it...

I want to overclock my PIII 450. I can change the multiplier in BIOS but it never seems to update itself afterwards. Any ideas?

System Spec

PIII 450 @ 464 Katmai(2.0v 100x103 (Turbo setting))
Abit BE6 BX440i (Rev 1.0)
256Mb PC133 Generic RAM
Creative GeForce GTS2 32Mb DDR
2.1 Gb 5,200rpm Seagate HDD
8.4 Gb 5,200rpm Seagate HDD
Creative AWE64 Value Sound Card
Accton 10/100 base Network Adapter
2 System fans, Upgraded cpu fan (Removed backplate)

Idle temp 28°C
Full load temp 32°C

THe pentium 2 after the 333 was fully locked, as you could not even lower the mulitpler, so you have no chance to hit 133... and since the 1st P2 you could not change the multiplier up.

so the only way is to change your bus speed as you already have..just move it higher, 112 would be a safe speed if you can reach it any higher and you risk PCI spec problems.... but do try to go higer than 112, just giveing a word of caution... so you are on the right track... and your temps semm fine

I'm running my P III 450 @ 600 right now and it's very stable. I 've set the FSB to 133 and the core voltage to 2,1V. I 've also installed a Gorb to keep it cool.
I know that GlobalWin and Alpha is better but I can't find them here in Belgium.
So at full load the CPU temp is 28°, system temp is 33°.
I can get to 612 MHz but than it gets unstable.
My CPU is a slot 1 SL35D.
Normally you must be able to reach more than 464.
I' d say : go for it! But keep an eye on the temp.
It's a good choise that you've installed 2 extra system fans. When I installed a system cooler in my rig, the temp lowered with 2°.

Cheers fellas you've been a great help. I'm gonna overclock my PC in a while, so i'll post my results within a day or so. By the way i had a look at my BIOS again and i found out that i can take my FSB up to 150 (1/3). Ive calculated that out at 675.... Very tempting, but most likely an instant crash.
