How well does the Cely 1 Overclock?

My dad has a Cely 366 and I was wandering how well it would oc and with standard cooling ,what would be safe,I have heard that they oc well.

Oh yeah, those early Celerons were great in their heyday and are probably partly responsible for the overclocking popularity explosion. I had a C-300 on an Abit BH6 (classic O/C combo) that would O/C to 464 MHz, but I had a fancy triple fan cooler and used a little higher voltage. I had a buddy that ran his 300 at 504 for a year. About 450 to 550 is the range to expect using a few cooling tricks. However, even with the standard CPU cooler and default voltage, I'd be very surprised if it couldn't run at least 75 FSB.

I've got a 300A tucked away that will (after a bit of burn-in) run 450 at default, and 504 at 2.2v stably.

I had a Celeron 600 at 945 by the time I got a motherboard I could change the vcore with (changed the vcore on the 600 with a slocket). Been in a box almost entirely since. Great chip, the C II is just much faster though...

If it's a PPGA chip, check out this old article I wrote :)

one of the most popular setups was the abit bp6 with dual 366 overclocked to 550mhz or higher, sometimes they can make it with the standard cooling but it helps a lot with a good cooler and thermal compound
