I had 4 different Celeron 500s that I used for overclocking. All of them had trouble with 600 and 585 MHz before doing the "burn-in" -- one of them had trouble at 563. After the burn-ins, all of them would do 620-660. I would have and DID swear that the burn-ins helped. With the 1 GHz Athlon, burn-in didn't change anything. It ran at about 1466 before the burn-ins and it still runs at 1466 presently. Haven't messed with the clock speed in about 6 months though.
The 1.3 GHz Athlon? Runs at 1466 GHz both before and after burnin.
4 different Celeron 733s all run at about 1050 MHz with and without burnins. With the CPU pin modifications, they will typically run at 1100-1144 MHz, but they run hotter. I just keep them at about 1045 or something like that.
The motherboards that I have for the 2.0 GHz Celery is a Dell board. The overclock potential is shelved (for now).
The 1.8 GHz P4 is on a SuperMicro stupid board that allows no overclocking -- again, any overclocking on this is (for now) shelved.
The Celeron 850 ran at 1105 or so before burn-in and like the other 4 celeries, I run it about 1050 MHz. It will run at about 1147 or so with the pin voltage mods, but again, it runs hot and I rather choose to run it at 1050.
The Katmai 500 MHz P3s that I had (2 or 3 -- I forget) would all run at 560 MHz -- and they would never budge.
(Not going into the P2s)
[Not willing to discuss what I have done at work publicly].
And the laptops. Yeah, they suck.
Like I said: I still do the burn-ins because at one time I thought it worked. I really can't say that I think it works other than hey:
It SEEMED to work on EVERY Mendocino Celeron that I tried it on. Still waiting on it to work again, and I been waiting for quite a while.
