Accept my defeat?

[Xalista]

I just bought a Celery 633 and a GORB. I got it up to 790 (9.5 * 83) at 1.7 V without any additional cooling methods (i.e. NO thermal grease, just the standard heating pad) but I can't get it to 950. Not even at 2.1 V (I was angry at the time). Should I see this as an indication that this cpu just wasn't meant to run at a 100 FSB and accept my defeat, or is there a good chance that with some lapping and arctic silver it will go to 100 at an acceptable voltage?
I went from a 300a@450 to this 633@790 so I already see a noticeable speed increase (especially considering the fact that I am using an ancient BH6 1.0), but I would like to go higher of coarse. Have any of you been in a similar situation and were you able to go further in the end?

Thanks in advance,

Xalista

Xalista, what sort of temps are you running with your setup when overclocked ? The Gorb may not be sufficient to cool,just a guess...however, you brows the forum a bit, you'll find some good tips and suggestions.

Accept defeat?? NEVER!!!! Tweak it. Nudge it. Bump it. Mod it.
Don't ya love it??? :)

Accept defeat? After only using a thermal pad???

NEVER!! Get yourself some Artic Silver II, and maybe some sandpaper for lapping! And lower your voltages! At 2.1V your CPU is likely to explode!

its becasue your using a gorb. also get rid of the thermal pad and use a thin layer of thermal paste or grease. artic silver if you want. gorbs really suck if you want to push your cpu hard.

Only accept defeat once you've exhausted all possibilities (once the CPU is dead :¬)} )

Get more cooling (Decent HSF/Silvergoop/case fans.)..

Try different faster RAM or try setting you existing stuff to CAS3... That might be the problem.

Try a different brand of Slocket. With my old Abit slocket!!!, my cC0 566 would do 877 doing the registry repair loop at 2.0V. Got myself a Soltek, and I'm running at 1003Mhz at 1.85v, temps avg 25*C.
