cB0 at 100fsb? is it possible?

[JJ Dog]

Question? would it be possible to clock my processor, 633mhz celeron cB0 at 100 fsb, if so, tell me which board and cooler would be best besides water cooler

[William]

yes, it is certainly possible, although how likely I am not sure. On board, the ASUS Cusl2-C seems to be the best Socket370 board. As far as a hsf, the SK-6 is probably the best hsf to get you there.

YES, but you'll know only OCing in step your chip!
I did it on my Celeron2 600 cb0 with an Alpha Pep66 cooler, on a Msi 6337 i815E Pro Mobo.

Hey-DoubleJdogg! You bet it is possible. I have two running at 100Mhz or better. One at 100 air cooled and one at 112mhz. Make sure that you have good cooling (no Gorbs), and sufficient voltage and it should be no problem.

I'd say you've got a pretty good shot at it. What motherboard you get will factor heavily in the outcome. There's a ton of good choices out there, but I think what you're willing to spend will determine what you get. Also remember, you don't HAVE to get a s370 motherboard, you can get a slotket adapter, and run that Celeron on a slot 1 motherboard, too. I'd recommend this, actually, as usually running a slotket will allow more vcore settings. If you were to go this route, I'd go with a intel BX chipset based board (Abit BE6 II, BF6, Soyo 6BA+IV or +100, are some good ones). I've never run a s370 board, so I really don't know what's good or not good out there for those.

I recently had an article posted on the front page comparing a pair of hsf's that I had mounted on a Celeron 600 in a slotket. The tests used an Alpha PEP66T, and the new Millennium Glaciator. Both of these are really good choices. This article was posted on the 16th of this month. It's also to be found in the "CPU Reviews and Tips" in the list of "Reviews and Tips" on the front page, as well.

Happy shopping! Hope you get to 100 easily... =)
