fist I will say what I have, then what is happening.
Motherboard an Abit BF6 (long live the BX board)
633 cBo watercooled to 1062 MHz running at 2.0volts
temps are great, over 30 never happens, ideals around 20-22C
if I try 2.05 Volts, the computer is no longer stable. When I boot into windows, I get the startup sound, then before the sound is done playing, it turns into a high pitch buzz. This higher voltage requires me to drop the speed down to 1026. Try 2.1 same problem... hell I tried 2.3 still got the same problem.
So I think that my core is at its limit...
the little extra voltage make my cpu to rise in temp a degree or so...
this is what must be causing my CPU to not like the higher voltage
its 38.4 watts when running at 1062 @ 2.0 V
40.4 watts when running at 1062 @ 2.05V
39.0 watts when running at 1026 @ 2.05V
So, I think the cpu doesn't want to be using more than 40 watts or power.
But it will not do 1074 (113 FSB) @ 2.0 V , 38.9watts.
I may have pushed the CPU as far as it will go.....
but I will be damned if this little old celeron 2 doesn't hit 1100 (116 FSB)
I still have one trick up my sleeve.
Some K6-2's were able to overclock higher is the heatsink was grounded.
This is because of EMF (electromagnetic field's) messing up the clock signal.
So grounding my waterblock may help me get that last 40 Mhz I want out of my celeron.
I keep you all updated on this.
Also, and other ideas, thoughts on the subject ?
every comment/ insight is welcome thanks.
