Hello there Intel guys.
Last Intel CPU I used was a P3-600 coal vagon, so I'm really really outdated .
A friend of mine has this ECS sdram board and a 1.7Ghz Celeron running at 17x100.
Are there different Celeron cores that run this speed?Which is the best if so?
How far can I get it on it's standard cooling? (limit is 133Mhz SDRam he has).
What voltages and CPU temps are tolerable for constant use?
(That of course if the board will allow me any changing.)

Thanks .
 
If that mobo will allow you to adjust the FSB, then an initial goal might be 112 FSB for 1.9 gig CPU clock speed. There is only one Celeron core at 1.7 and that is the Willamette. Even with good cooling and a bump in voltage, 2.0 to 2.1 gig is about all you can expect for max speed on a Willamette (assuming you can lock the PCI bus). Default vcore should be 1.75v, so 1.85v increase would be safe. Try to keep load CPU temp down less than mid-50's.
