celeron 2 from 800 to 1026mhz

[Colin Mc Donald]

I went to 1066 from 800mhz
fbs 133
CPU temp 33-34c
1.69v
case fan added

I did bios upgrade from V4.60 pgma to 2.55
is there any advantage to using 100, 133.3 FBS rather than using 112, 117, 124, 129,????


I think I will stay there... any comments welcome

tanx for the assistance all.

Your siggy looks a little long too long. Your siggy should just include main factors like your board its rev if possible, cpu chip, whats it overclocked at, temperatures if you want, heatsink, ram, video card(core/mem if its clocked), voltages, fsb

Shouldn't included very detail specs and if it did damn our siggys would be long.. heh

Your cpu temperatures are looking great, although are you sure you can't push more don't you want more juice?

:)

The average overclocked speed for your comp was 1115 its most likely you should pass it :)

:p

Ever hear the phrase "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones"? :D

Colin: There are a load of these in the DB between 1066 and 1200+. Looks like a hellacious OC potential. Don't push it farther than you're comfortable with, though. It's better to have a happy OC than a fragged HD. :)

Yeah I would 'burn in' at your current 129FSB for a few weeks, and if all is still perfectly stable I would try to get closer to/or around 133FSB so everything is really in spec. My cCO800@1072 is so stable now I even installed win2k at this speed last week. It took me a while to get here so I'm sure eventually you can go higher Colin!

[Colin Mc Donald]

changed my mind and pushed to 1066

Temp 34-35c

is there any advantage to using 100, 133.3 fbs as apposed to numbers ...112, 117, 124???/

Your pci and agp speeds will in spec at 100 or 133.

[Yodums]

If he was at 133 and using a 1/3 divider that is not in spec !

If your above 133 or higher fsb then you really need a 1/4 divider.

[Colin Mc Donald]

and a 1/4 driver is ???
I am running 800@1066 133.3 Fbs
no problem...some one else mentioned being "in spec" what it is ?

Don't want to sound like a smartass here, but if you're unsure of "in spec" or dividers (not drivers) you should probably read a bit more about what happens in your machine (overclocked or not) and go through the Beginners Guides (http://www.overclockers.com/topiclist/index04.asp#BEGINNER GUIDES). As always, it's your choice. But knowledge is power.

LIke was suggested, maybe you should read up a little more about overclocking before you go any farther, although you have a very nice start, congrats on the nice overclock. In spec means that all of the buses are running at a normal default speed (PCI, AGP, memory, etc.). The PCI divider drops the FSB speed down to a usable speed. At 100 FSB, most motherboards have a 1/3 divider so that the PCI bus runs at 33 MHz. You need to have a 1/4 divider to run the PCI bus "in spec" at 133 FSB. Most motherboards run the AGP bus at twice the PCI bus. Some motherboards also have a memory bus divider. My Abit board has an optional 3/4 RAM divider at certain FSB speeds. Getting back to the PCI bus speeds... a little bit of overclocking of the PCI bus is good, say up to 37 to 38 MHz for most systems. The higher you run the PCI bus, the more likely you'll have a card that won't like that, thus you'll start experiencing instability. The harddrive controller runs off the PCI bus too, so at very high speeds (like 40+ MHz) you run the risk of scrambling the data on your harddrive. I'm assuming your motherboard probably has an automatic 1/4 PCI divider at 133 FSB. If you only had a 1/3 divider, than you'd be running the PCI bus at 44 Mhz which is not likely if you're running stable. By the way, if you have a cC0 stepping CPU, you're getting close to the average limit at 1.1 gig. The cC0 CPUs have a default core voltage of 1.7v. The cD0 stepping CPUs have a default of 1.75v and are known to overclock to 1.2+ gig on average. If you are still at default voltage and are using the retail CPU cooler, you have a nice Celeron CPU that will probably go higher with better cooling and a possible slight increase in voltage.
