clocking a 17ghz intel celeron

morkim · 08-08-03, 03:01 PM

Please could someone help. I am itching to overclock my p4 17ghz intel celeron chip and my asus p4s333-vm mobo. I was looking at one of the threads, and the guy had the same board but had a 16ghz p4. I read the manual and it said nothing about jumper settings on th cpu, only on the ( usb device wake-up ) their is jumpers, but when i go into the bios to change the fsb it says to alter the first two settings you must alter the jumpers. As you can see i am confussed. Eny help or inderance will help...

Welcome To The Forum!

Bad news is, I think the 1.7 GHz Celerons were based on Willamette Pentium 4 builds so I don't think it will overclock very far anyway...

17 ghz? I wanna get one of those...

sorry for leaving the dot out of 1.7ghz, and the celerons dont overclock to well, is it worth having a go or just upgrade it..

It wouldn't be worth it even if it overclocked to 2.5Ghz.

I've seen 3gig+ celrons get beat by 1800 p4s.............overclocking them just isn't worth it, i'm sorry you fell for the gimic.

You never know, a 17ghz P4 Celeron might actually be a decent performer... At least before the 3.6ghz P4's hit the street

The 1.7 Celeron is a Willamette with 1/4 the cache of a Northwood P-4. The Willamettes will usually only overclock about 2.0 gig or so. That said, there is nothing wrong with trying, say 112 FSB. That should be a no brainer and will give you a bit of a performance boost. Trouble is... with those of us who are running P-4 Northwoods in the 3.2 to 3.4 gig range, messing with a wimpy Willamette just don't cut it for us anymore. But hey, overclock what ya got. Go to the motherboard section of the forum and ask your questions about what to set on that beast.
