bp6/dual cel 433 overclocking?

[scarum]

1. Ok, I have a bp6 with dual cel 433 chips 256 sdram pc-100
Is it possible to overclock these suckers and how would i go about that?
I'm a complete and utter rookie, so try and explain it to me like you would to your mom...
8)
I'm using the fans that came with the cpu's... I have noticed that they are getting pretty hot...
around 55 c. Would I be needing extra cooling when overclocking?

2. Like i said i've got 256 pc-100 sdram (2x128). Is it possible (or even a good idea) to
put in a 256 pc-133 stick alongside the 2x 128 pc-100?

thnx in advance
grtz,
scarum

The BP-6 is a great board. The 433's however leave a little to desire. They aren't the best overclockers around. With some finesse and some great cooling you should get them to overclock. That era Celeron usually hit the wall around 600Mhz. I would be happy if you got around 550 with those.

The first thing you need to do is get some better HSF's on the cpu's.
With better cooling you could try for an fsb of 80. You may need to raise the cpu voltage a bit try 2.1volts for each cpu.Do it in a few steps first try 75fsb if that works ok try 80.

Another good thing to do is take the small green sink off of the chipset, lap it, add a 486cpu fan, use thermal grease and put it back on. The chipset on the BP6 gets mighty toasty unless you improve the cooling.

If you have any questions about this just ask. I have had 2 BP6's for a few years now one with dual 366's at 572 the other with 500's at 600 so I have a bit of experiance with these boards.

Definitely get better heatsinks but be careful what you buy...not all heatsinks will fit on the BP6 because of the location of the capacitors on the board, and some like golden orb must be modified to fit

I had my dual 500's running at 563 with generic heatsinks (temps were 40-45C) then i pulled one and ran with a golden orb at 600....just watch your PCI bus if your components start to act funky
