I wish you luck! Let us know how far you can crank it.

Not bad, but IMHO the lack of hyperthreading makes this preshott a no-no.

Definitely a good overclock tho. This just goes to demonstrate that the longer pipe really wants to be run faster...

Fold on.

Things are going good. I upped the FSB to 178MHz and set the Vcore to 1.375 because, "Stock" or Auto in BIOS was fluctuating around 1.434 in CPU-Z. My CPU/Case temps are at about 48°C/31°C respectively, so it's not too bad. I know it kinda sucks to not have HT but so far this CPU has proven to be decent. I think all I need is some better cooling and then I can try for more.
