i was lucky with this mobo too i guess, not bad, 2 good boards and 2 that sucked.

they have all the info on overclock.net for the giga p35 boards but from what iv seen people are having mixed results with the droop mod, some are even getting an increase in volts under load lol.

Marsey you should go ahead and post that link in the building thread as well. There's lots of folks that have that mobo and would like to know the info that site brings. I'm not sure most people should mess with the 'vdroop' mod but some of the other info is great.... :)

gm there are lots of threads on oc.n that could help many people with info for nearly all the popular boards and graphics cards on the market.

They're not fast CPUs to begin with and they won't be easy to overclock, especially not on a basic VIA motherboard like the one you have.

i wouldnt go that far sam, an oc will help any proc and an aging one you would really feel the differnce. having said that your spot on about the mobo, that chip should be able to do about 2.2ghz on the vcore its getting right now but only if the mobo/ram will go as far.

i think clockgen would be your best bet to get any kind of oc from your setup mate.

So i can do the overclocking???Yes??Then how..And do i need to buy a new cooler?I just bought a 512 ram so i don't have money right now..I'm a real newby when its about overclock :D!Heres my system manual and it just like marsey99 sayd supports 2.2 ghz cpu speed!So that from 1.6 ghz to 2.2 to me its a HUGE difference!

You just need Clockgen

http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=189

Download it and bump up your frequencies. Do it a little bit at a time and keep an eye on your temps. Then you can know how fan you can go without getting a new cooler.

Thought I would let you know I haven't forgotten about posting the BIOS settings, just been real busy lately. I get them up asap.

Like others might say, it isn't much, buts thats cause most here are comparing to new or especially gaming overclocks. Any system can stand from some sort of OC as long as the parts are good for their time. I got one of them 1.6 s478's to 2.4 on air so it is a good core and rev/stepping. Just need a good mobo to take it there. Not gonna' be much fun on a VIA chipset. Look for an older, but die hard workhorse !875P "Canterwood" chipset for that CPU and tight 2-2-2-5 PC-3200. Any PC4400 on up is way cool and most clock down to DDR400 @ 2-2-2-5. Thats' really all you need to get started.
Also, any Quality PC-133 can hit 150FSB in 1:1 since thats about the best you'tre gonna' get for 2.4GHz as 150x16. Unless the multi is unlocked so you can use 200*12 for 1:1 DDR400.

Sony PSP/PS3,
ASUS RAMPAGE II EXTREME(X58) w/ i7 930 DO @ 4.305GHz (205x21 @ 1.323v) 2:8 DDR1680 @ 6-6-6-18
ASUS RAMPAGE EXTREME (X48) w/ Q6600 @ 3.81GHz, 422x9 @ DDR1680 6-7-6-20 @ 1.71v

after a google i would really keep an eye on your temps sleepy, its a shuttle and it will have sucky airflow.

nuck has had more exp with the older intels than me so i would listen to his advice on the mobo too.

have fun with it tho :D

28MHz? 2.8HGz or 2800MHz? 2.8GHz is a long shot fo that core unless you went water cooling. I never had one go more then 2.6 and that was pushing 1.7v wich is hard to get out of mosy chipsets But the 1875P certeinly can and you will nedd 500w+ of PWR. 400W with strong amps can get you 2.4GHz nicely on air w/ under 1.488v If for gaming, yES, more then likely need some kind of new GPU. Thats not my strong area, but I had a MX4000 leadTec back then and it was cool for early AGP 4x. If you got hold of a nice ASUS P4C800 w/ ATI Radeon 9800 Pro .08v AGP 8x, that'd be nice for the time. I had that set up in 2003. I still have it. lol!

Anyways, for learning to OC, I'd leave GPU out of it for the time being. On a good mobo, it will not have any effect on your OC to leave the cheapest GPU of AGP or PCI in there for now. I had some low end boxes with cheap GPU's OC'd just to number crunch and vid transcoding, and they did great.

OC'n for gaming is the upper most demanding route. It challanges and stresses everything in the entire system right back to the optical drive.

If you can spare a little here and there, and want to learn, I'd focus on the mobo 1st and formost otherwise, you'll just be hittin' a wall in no time. 350W w/ good clean amp is OK, 400W is better, but 500W is a good deal to run nice !875P "Canterwood".

EDIT: actually, the mainstream medium priced Sprigdale mobo as !!865PE Pro is a better bargin for that CPU and has almost all the stability of !875P but some added new BIOS options only cause it was binned out later, if from ASUS or DFI of that time, mid 2004.

Um, you still won't be able to play pro street as you won't have a decent graphics card. Sorry.

IMO, NFS PS wasn't that great anyways. Don't bother. It used way to much power for the type of game it was. MW or U2 was better imo.

It probably won't even install without hardware T&L or enough video memory.

core2kid: Agreed, I didn't like it very much either.

mw was miles better, but we shouldnt knock them for trying somthing new.

i think i have hurt my board but on the plus side its still working. i just fitted the noctua and whilst i was pushing the 2nd pin thru it made an ugly cracking sound. i think it came from the nb not the pcb....eerr....bit scared.

i dropped my clock from 500x7 to 400x8 and its up and running but it took an age for windoz to load, think i might of pushed that luck a bit too far???

temps have dropped quite a bit tho but i guess the 20% drop in speed might of hlepd too.

Wish you luck man.

I have my System totally stabilized at 3.2Ghz right now. Load temps seemed to have dropped about 10C after I lower the vcore. This vdroop mod really came in handy.
