rookie overclocking celeron 366

[sparksflyn]

its a hp pavillion 4536 with a asus meb-vm. i have used softfsb to set the fsb at 75. cooling is stock except for a slightly larger heatsink. everthing seems ok at 413mhz so far.
Is there anyway for me to get the cpu temp?
is there any programs that will allow me to adjust the multplier?
is there a better program i should be using than softfsb?
how high should i dare go with my cooling?

i think it is a week 9 or 10 malay chip.

thanks for any help.... i need it

Cooling should be excessive with the old chips as they dont hot at all. Can you adjust the fsb to 83 in the bios? Those old Celeron overclock very well. Other than SoftFSB the only other program I know of is "CPUFSB" ...

I think SoftFSB is better.

This is the third time this evening I've had to tell someone this, the Intel multipliers are locked. There is no way to unlock them.

Oh right I forgot to add that but alot of people don't know as they can see adjustable mutliplier options but it doesn't actually change < --- Before I came here I tried overclocking and always changed the multiplier never worked obviously :D


By the way I made a mistake on my first post: Cooling isn't really needed with the old chips as they dont get really that hot.

That Celly 366 will run at 550mhz@100 fsb all day long with the stock hsf. Just put a case fan in your case and away you go. You should be able to set that mobo to 100 fsb with either a jumper or through the bios. Check the case for the jumper settings and you will most likely find a jumper to set the bios to 100. Good luck. :beer:

A lot of those Celeron 366's can do 550 with default voltage, and normal cooling. I ran one at 550 back when they were popular. I retired it to my pc at work, and that thing is still doing 550 with never a hiccup. Set your fsb to 100 (if you can) and see if it will fly! And, hopefully your mem can keep up :)
