Ultra Cool

[KLowD9x]

I gota celery 500 clocked to 558. But, theres no heat! Could this be a problem?


Questions that will be asked:
Yes, there is "white goop" to facilitate heat transfer
Yea, there is a good connection between the cpu and the hs
mm...might be more, cant think of any

[It_The_Cow]

What do you mean there's no heat? If there is none being emitted, good for you. Very good for you actually. I doubt it though. I'm pretty sure you have a very good cooler or an inaccurate temperature monitor

[KLowD9x]

Oh yea, thats at full load too...
the cooler is made for 1ghz and lower
and my temperature sensor is my finger, im too poor to buy a probe :D

If you have not raised your CV [core voltage] to your CPU then your temps are going to be the same if you just raise FSB then your temps should not increase, if you have a CPU that does not get that hot consider yourself blessed as it makes it much easier to get a good overclock.

[KLowD9x]

How would I go about upping the voltage, I cant do it in the BIOS, its all locked. The only thing I can change in there is the time. PS is a compaq :( , do you know of any "hotkeys" that might let me get into the "hidden" settings? Or possibly software? (Like CPUFSB, which is what im using to overclock)

As for increasing the voltage, you can try vidpinning

Well, got a problem, my proc is a mB0, tha vid pin mod is for cC0 and cB0...got anything else?

I've never heard of a "mB0" stepping before, can someone fill me in here?

mendocino
I guess thats how you spell it

-Trek Ditto. Could you tell us the numbers on the chip? cB0 maybe

[KLowD9x]

numbers? serial? if your thinking of something like cB0, it has mB0 printed on the bottom

[It_The_Cow]

Ahhh... The Menodocino. According to Intel's Specifications, the chip runs at 2.0 volts. That should be enough for most chips, but this is from a perspective of FCPGA Celerons and PIIIs, which usually default around 1.7 volts. According to this (http://www.hyperformance-pc.com/intel_vid.htm), it should work for your chip, though you'll get a negligible change. Do this at your own risk, though

[KLowD9x]

ok, thanx, I dont think ill be doing anything like that anytime soon

could it be the fact that the multiplier chip gets hot?
I read before that if you put a hs on it, it will make for better overclocking

[LutaWicasa]

Cooling the clock gen at such low freqs will accomplish nothing.

[KLowD9x]

ok

[It_The_Cow]

Usually the cooler, the better. Since it isn't much of a concern for you, you should be OK. You should still have one, though, just for safety. Now don't go and buy some expensive cooler in hopes of getting more, many other factors can limit how far you can go.

I'm not quite sure what you mean with the multiplier chip getting hot. The clock generator maybe? Anyways, a clock generator controls the FSB, so adding a cheap cooler onto it may help you get more. Sorry, but I don't read much about PPGA chips often

[KLowD9x]

yea clock gen. not thinking...:D

If a motherboard is specifically designed for a certain FSB and nothing more, and yet it still has other FSBs available, the extra cooling could do wonders. If it isn't designed for a specific speed, you'll barely get any results.

From what I can assume, you're probably used to 100 and 133+ FSBs, not 66 or so. The clock generators for those motherboards are designed for such speeds and stability at those speeds. The clock generators on older boards probably aren't designed for such use. Once again, depending on what chip the motherboard is designed for, results will vary

[KLowD9x]

Its running 74 mhz, but the chip is 66mhz
the BIOS does have 100mhz for upgrading
I dont know if it goes higher than that

[Zuck Gou :)]

I've had my Celly 1 up to 2.4V

Might wanna stop at 2.3 to be safe.
