OC 600 Celeron Speed ???????

[JIMBO]

What stable speed should I expect from an Overclocked oCO 600 Celeron. I'm leaning towards an overclocked Celeron rather than keeping my P III 500 ( Katmai). I looked at the temp specs for my P III on Intels page and found the PIII 450 & 500's run kinda warm. So, I don't think I should really waste time and cash on my PIII, only to get a marginal increase.

The "Bang For The Buck" simply isn't there............

Let me know guys, you all have been a great help......

Thanks

Check the CPU database from the overclockers.com home page. Personally, mine was rock stable at 972MHz before I killed it in a stupid lapping incident.

[Mr B]

The majority of the cC0's will run in excess of 900 MHz. Some do much better than that. Mine did 1053 @ 2.05v. That vcore is a bit excessive, though, so, when backed off to a more reasonable 1.95v, I could get 1017 MHz stable.

Every chip is different, don't take these words as Gospel.

I've heard of these goin' 900 at default vcore, I've heard of these not going further than 83 FSB. Most will make it to 100FSB, usually quite easily.

Get a good hsf for it, if you do go this route. Alpha and GlobalWin seem to get the most favorable mentions, here....

Good luck!

Is it possible to go 1200 mhz,at 133mhz fbus from this chip ? I've read claims on this setup, that can't be rock solid stable ? My board is a Asus P3V133 slot 1,with the Via Apollo Pro chipset. I would have to use a Sloket which would be best an Iwill or Asus ? I am wanting 900 to 1000 mhz with 100% stability if possible. Are the vcore settings on each of these slokets adjustable? What hsf would you recommend and what model ? I currently have my computer in the basement of my home, pretty cool down here. So a 900 celeron would perform equivilent to an unclocked P III 700, is that correct? Hope I didn't load you up with to much Mr.B. Your help has been a great asset to me, being that you also own a PIII.

no, it won't run. The Core of the P/// CuMine and Celey-2 will only allow a max i believe of 1.13ghz. Intel has major probs running them this high, remember that recall. I think the best you can expect is 100mhz bus. If you get there, you are smoking. :-)

Hi Jimbo,
I've reached with the support of MrB and other guys 900Mhz rock stable from my C2 600 cb0 @1.8v.

Have a nice OC :-)

[Carmine_Paterno]

With my Celeron II 600 cB0 (SL46U) I reached 1ghz with 2.0v. This was all before a slug on my slotket came off, when i incidentally superglued my chip into the slotket

I seriously doubt you will get that high unless you get incredably lucky with a one of a kind cpu. I don't like the Via Apollo Pro chipset any board I have tested comes in 10 to15% behind the old 440BX which is still my favorite, followed by the 815. Also I would take that P3 700 you mentioned any day over a celeron. When you OC the P3 you are going to end up with a much higher fsb then you can get out of a Celeron and as a result more performance and ram speed. I ran a 866eb at 160 and 166fsb (cas2 w/Mushkin rev3) on an Asus CUSL2-C which btw imho is about as good an overclocking board as you can get. For an Intel system that was smokin' fast!

Ok, let's take this one Q: at a time, here...=)


Is it possible to go 1200 mhz,at 133mhz fbus from this chip ? I've read claims on this setup, that can't be rock solid stable ?

--Not without Liquid Nitrogen cooling...lol. I think the highest I've seen for the C600 is just a shade over 1100, and that was a one in a million chip. I've had mine (*NOTE !! DO NOT try this at home!!*) at 1080 MHz, with the PC sitting in front of my air conditioner, on HIGH, at 2.2v. This is NOT RECOMMENDED !! Ran it there long enough to get a screenshot, and shut it right down! High vcore settings like this will fry Celerons like bacon! Most chips will top out, air cooled, between 900 and 1000MHz.


My board is a Asus P3V133 slot 1,with the Via Apollo Pro chipset.

--Hope it's the Apollo Pro133A...the original 133 chipset was notorius for lousy memory bandwidth....


I would have to use a Sloket which would be best an Iwill or Asus ? I am wanting 900 to 1000 mhz with 100% stability if possible. Are the vcore settings on each of these slokets adjustable?

--Either would do well, I use the Soltek SL02A++ myself. I'd avoid the Abit !!! for now...lots of people having problems with stability with those. 900 to 1000 stable should be reasonably achieved, and the vcore settings are quite easily made via jumpers on the slockets mentioned.


What hsf would you recommend and what model ? I currently have my computer in the basement of my home, pretty cool down here.

--I've used a Gorb, which WASN'T all that good, and upgraded from there to an Alpha PEP66T, which alone shaved 8c off of my CPU loaded temp over the Gorb. The PEP66T is designed for use on a slocket, BTW... GlobalWin is another good name to look for....

So a 900 celeron would perform equivilent to an unclocked P III 700, is that correct?

--That's just about right. 150 to 200 MHz, depending on the individual configuration in question.


Hope I didn't load you up with to much Mr.B. Your help has been a great asset to me, being that you also own a PIII.

More than glad to help! Someone helped me when I first got here, now it's my turn to "pass it on"...=)


Cheers !!

I had my celeron 600 @ 1008 2v. for about 8 months..
till i got a freak power surge and it blew my mobo and cpu up =)
Duron 800 now..

[Rainmaker]

I have my c600 @1053 1.8v alpha hsf. When I still had my soyo 6ba+III I could get 1053 with the retail hsf stable! Although from what I read in the cpu database this chip seems to be better than average.

[Carmine_Paterno]

Wow 1053 @ 1.8v!!! Thats really good! Why don't you push it higher? Take it to say 1.95v and see how high it can go? That would be sweet if it went to 1100. Nice Overclock!!! You have got quite a gem there.

Yup. I've gotten to 1100 at 2.05v with my soyo. Too high for my taste. Somehow I can't get there with the epox. Speeds in between are ok with 1.95v (63-90+) but not quite stable.

[daver343]

Its is possible. My buddies Celeron can do 1255MHz but thats a Celeron 800, not a 600. But still it shows that some chips can go past Intel 1.13 spec for the Celeron/P!!! Core.
BTW, 1255MHz is at 1.85V playing games, but he dosn't run it at that, cause hes got the Intel heatsink. Hes running it at 800 which is a waste. =)
Im debating if I shall go for his cpu or use the money to by meself a P3.

[nucro]

I'm using my celeron 600@900 @1.65 with the standart hsf. Temps aroun 40 C. I did 945 @1.75. I don' t want to push farther because 1 Ghz wont give someting more and I think it would be dangerous .
