In desperate need of overclocking help,
I have a Hewlett Packard Pavilion 6730 (600Mhz Celeron/66Mhz bus/2x128MB Crucial CL2, Kyro PCI) and have finally found out how to overclock, by using CPUFSB.
I am able to overclock to 742Mhz/82Mhz bus easily, but anything beyond that crashes the machine within seconds. I have tried 900Mhz/100Mhz bus and 800Mhz/88Mhz bus and it crashes there also. I'm assuming I have to increase the voltage on the chip (its a CB0 1.6v Celeron II FC-PGA), and there are no options in the BIOS. I read around Overclockers (great site!) and found the 'pin hole and wire wrapping" methods of increasing voltages on the chip. Which one should I perform, and how high do I set the voltage? Do I need any specific type of wire?
Last month I took out the OEM noisy CoolerMaster hsf and put on a CoolJagJC311 cooler I had purchased originally to cool a video card. Is this tiny cooler sufficient for a voltage increase, or should I look into a better cooler like the Swiftech MXC370 or a Thermalright AX-7? And theres still junk left over from the thermal pad that was on the CoolerMaster, should I scrape the rest of it off with an Xacto knife and apply some ASII?
Help greatly appreciated, I'm trying to squeeze some more use out of this machine before I make a major upgrade in the summer. I'm addicted to the Medal of Honor multiplayer and I saw a noticable speed boost with that extra 140Mhz since overclocking to 740Mhz, and more Mhz would really help me out. Thanks!
