O/Cing a pentium 3 866 mhz

[BiLLyXkiNG]

aiight here's the deal...i gotta pIII 866 runnin' ona motherboard that can take P3 100/133FSB 500-1Ghz +, Celeron 66mhz fsb ppga/fc-pga, and a Cyrix 100/133mhz fsb PPGA. Now, I messed around with the dip switches and get the number up to 975 mhz but it shuts off after the WINdows ME screen comes up...it's a socket 370 with a via apollo pro family chipset...

OK well what do you have for a heatsink, case fans, and also what are your temps idel and under load?? I forgot what type ram are you useing (ie: PC66, PC100, or PC133)

Try adjusting your core voltages

I got A case fan in the front right next to the air conditioning vent :-) and my temps cant be read by MBM 5...and a PC133

How do i change my core voltages?

Ok you said it was a VIA chip on it try going to the VIA website and getting their temp monitor its better than nothing. I wouldn't try to overclock it till you knew the temps of it man. You could burn your chip up

Get into your BIOS if you can. If it's a good one, you should be able to adjust them. I recommend you get your temperatures first. Increasing the voltage increases its heat output

what do i change them to

[AmbientFiction]

To lower your temps you need better air flow you should try to run 60ºF idle and no more then 80ºF maxed to be on the safe side I still don't know how high is to high for an intel CPU

[BiLLyXkiNG]

well it says in the manaual that 50C is the max it can take

what do i change them toIncrease the voltage one notch. From there try booting up at 975. If it still doesn't work, increase it another notch. Be sure to get a temperature monitor going as well. As for the temps, try to stay as low as possible (of course) You should try not to go higher than the mid-high 40's C. I believe the maximum tolerable temperature tops off around 80 degrees C

would that work for a P3 1GHZ cause i think i'ma getting that tommorow?

Shouldn't be a problem as long as your motherboard supports overclocking
