First Intel Processor - Celly 2ghz

[DipStickTony]

Story is my friend has a dell, he upgraded from his celly since he said it basically sucked. I paid him 30$ for it and got it. Not sure on the actual coding on it (Ill check soon, gotta replace stock heatsink asap)

Anyways I popped it into an abit bh7 and started my overclock attempt. Basically I went right for 133mhz fsb, and bam worked no extra voltage. Went 150fsb bam worked default voltage. Im now at 175mhz fsb and only added +5% voltage. I didnt even test at default but it may not even need this voltage. Anyways Im hoping to hit 4ghz....even though its a celly its gotta be at least as fast as my 2100+ @ 2400mhz. Im not going any higher until I get the new heatsink as temps seem pretty high (mobo says ~48c IDLE.

20 x 175 = 3.5 ghz ...

going for 200mhz fsb, i got that giant zalman orb thingy coming from svc so cooling should be ok.

Very nice OC. With all the smack-talk Celerons get, sometimes I wonder if it's warranted. When you can get a 2.0 Celly and instantly run it at 2.66 or higher without any worries and a stock Intel heatsink, I'd think it would be pretty darn quick, even with the less cache. Make sure you run some Sandra or other type of CPU tests just to see how an overclocked Celly stacks up, I'd personally be very interested, since they are so cheap, it'd be fun to play with.

4 gig is a lofty goal and I'm not sure you'll get there on air, but it sure sounds like that Celly is a great overclocker, 3.5 gig is nothing to sneeze at. Congrats.

nice oc. i would say 3.5 is nice for $30.

well you've hardly given it a voltage boost yet so you should have a bit of headroom to go, don't forget to fold

yeah i know ...i do have a maze 3 hydor l20 and some tubing laying around.... just need a heatercore. Results up soon

alright ran some sandra resutls vs my 2100+ @ 2400mhz

celly @ 3.5ghz (175 fsb)
Drystone 8947
Whetstone 2020/4613
integer iSSE2 13958
Floating-Point 17523

Tbred @ 2400mhz (200 fsb)

im still keeping the tbred as my main rig....but im really liking intel processors so far
