I posted in here about a month ago about my Celeron 850@1133mhz 1.600v. Anyway, it's been a month, and I have got a new motherboard, that a friend traded me. I was very excited to install it, and try it out to see what my Celeron could do, becuase 1.600v at 1133mhz was no problem.
So I install the motherboard, load it up 1133mhz works great! at 1.600v like usualy, I bump it up to 135 no problems, 138, uh oh problem...
I am not at 1.75v (defualt voltage), but I don't think it is the chip, I am sure it is the memory so I set the timing to Cas 3. Rebooted, loads windows no problem, then to 140mhz, windows loads but, freezes, uped voltage to 1.85 loades windows at 1190mhz :) runs great, but like everyone, I pushed it even farther, and now I am running at 142mhz bus, for 1206mhz! and this thing is very fast. It is about as fast as an athlon 1.2gig. I got 6730 3dmarks!
But now, my voltage is at 1.90v to run stable at 1206mhz. it looks like the target spot for Celerons is about 1133mhz, anything higher and it needs more voltage. I thought forsure mine would do 1300mhz, but it doesn't. I can post it, and get windows to start loading then it freezes, 1275mhz (150fsb), loads windows then crashes, 1224(l44fsb) I can load it and run benchamrks but it is unstable.
So anyway, I still think the Celeron 850's are good for overclocking get the cDo tho! :)
Slick.
