Celeron 733

[Masako]

Hey I have a celeron 733 with stock cooling and I'm wondering how high I could take it using just the stock cooling. I do however have a slot fan and a card cooler so im sure they help lower the ambient temperature.

[Bmxpunk86pl]

im guessing that the 733 has a multiplier of 11 and a fsb speed of 66. If that is true, then just raise the fsb speed to 75mhz and u will have a nice little overclock to 825mhz!!!

[Masako]

Ya been running it at 872 for the past 4 months... so far so good.

[batboy]

Yep, 75 FSB is about all I would do with only the factory retail heatsink and fan.

[Masako]

Herm... I have mine at 83mhz fsb... Its been working fine for months should I leave it or lower it?

[Bmxpunk86pl]

defenetly leave it!!. Can u give us ur temps?

[Masako]

Im not sure what the temps are the stats in the bios dont seem to be accurate. They read 0C on the prossesor idle and 32C ambient.

[Masako]

oh and voltage is default

[Yodums]

Thats weird..

Those temps don't seem to be accurate.

Grab yourself Motherboard Monitor, then in settings pick a diode and pull out a burn in program and see if those temps move.

If there not moving then you know something's wrong.

[Masako]

I tried that before the temps dont move... I have a feeling the sensor is just messed up... I had some upgrades done a few months back (didnt do them myself I was in europe) so the guy who did them might of busted the sensor.

[Masako]

Ok I just checked temps again via the bios and here's what it said.
Cpu Temp:0C - 32F
System Temp:27C - 80F

[Yodums]

What motherboard do you have?

Does it have a built in diode or does it come with a thermal probe.

[Masako]

An Abit Va6 and no idea to your other question..

[Zuck Gou :)]

733 has an extremely high multiplier. It's a bad overclocker on average. But you may get lucky you never know.

Why not try 100mhz FSB? If it fails, lower it. Watch the temps carefully, anything above 45-50 C is too high in my view.

Good luck!

[Bmxpunk86pl]

that cpu will defenetly not do 1000mhz with out a voltage mod and some good cooling. my 700mhz can only do 83mhz fst in order to do 100mhz fsb i would need a voltage of 2.05 volts

[Masako]

ok thanks for the help

With my 667 I was stable at 832 on the 83mhz bus. With a good heatsink it will hit 1ghz stabily. You probably can't get that though, as 1.1 is kinda high for that core, though it certainly could happen.

[Masako]

Ya I have a celeron 533 sitting under my bed in its box, should maybe try and OC it some day.

[FrankMasterFlash]

Well you could get lucky and have a cD0 stepping that would greatly increase your chances of a higher overclock...is the s-spec on the chip SL52Y...because if it is then you have a better chance of getting up to 1100:D

[Masako]

No idea how would I check?

[Yodums]

Using Sisoft Sandra.

[Masako]

Sorry for my ignorance but where do I get sisoft sandra?

[funnyperson1]

www.downloads.com

[Masako]

Herm... this sisoft is saying my AGP bus speed and PCI bus speed etc is to high and to lower it... should I?

[funnyperson1]

if youre running stable forget about it, Sandra Tips are for stupid people whoa re running at Default sppeds...

[Masako]

Gotcha =)
