Hey Guys,
I am just new to overclocking. I have a Celeron (not d), 2.4 ghz. I have it at 3.2 Ghz. It is completely stable. It idles at 40 c. Full load 44 c. I can't push it any furthur due to the memory and motherboard I have. I suspect it could hit 3.5 easy with good cooling even more i bet. I have 1 120mm fan. I also have arctic silver 5 on there. The board is a cheap jetway 533fsb max. Its a real chip chip for the money you can't go wrong.

I use sisoft sandra 05. I usually post in terms of comparision to an athlon 3000 xp slot a. My goal is to get it on par with a 3200 xp or better. Can't do it though with the ram I have (2700). I would neeed 3200 ram to do it. The cpu I paid 60 for

60 bucks? thats a good deal i bet it encodes/decodes fast i want a p4 just for that reason so its about as fast as an xp3200 but with the intel encoding.

dude where you pay 60 for that cpu tell.
and yes youll need ddr 400 (3200) to cope with 3200 xp runs on a 400 mhz fsb

I have an AMD Athlon XP 2500+ on an MSI K7 MoBo with an Nvidia GeForceFX 5500 and 512 MB (2x256MB) RAM. The default setting on the multplier is 166MHz, how high should I overclock it where it will still be stable. My PC is mainly for gaming. I use it to play games like Doom 3, Half-life 2, Chronicles Of Riddick, and other First Person Shooter games. It isn't a newer processor, so it isn't locked.

at stock speed increse your fsb in 1 mhtz increments till its unstable then up the vcore then push it a little further then up the vdimm take it slow and when u get it unstable again back off a little and run some tests run prime 95 and super pi i prime mine overnight with motherboard moniter u dont want it too to get to hot U SHOULD know your idle/load temps i dont know if your multi is unlocked but u should be able to up it by one with stock fsb and it be stable be careful if u oc too high u can corrupt windows or ruin your hd after uping and running some tests fsb/vcore vdimm/ram timings try lowering your multi and uping the fsb mines at 9x282= 2.5 right now where i want it ram 2-3-3-7 and sometimes if u oc too high on old bioses it cause your pc not to reboot dont worry if that happens ur supposed to shut it down let it cool totally off and reset cmos but i found in doing so sometimes i get a corrupted bios so i take out my battery untill it resets never had a problem but i wouldnt reccommend it if u dont know what ur doing. just take it slow and ull figure it out it takes alot of time and testing to get a good stable oc.u like to play doom well after u oc and test play it if ur machine reboots ull know u need to change something.

I oc'ed it to the power of a 2600+ and I haven't had any problems. I tried changing it to 200x13, but that overheated the system and it crashed and restarted. So I changed the settings back to default. I'll try the settings you recommended, and I'll take it slow. I know all about clearing the CMOS (I've had to do it several times). Thanks for the info, I'll give it a try later.

ppiper,
That is exactly what I did!!! That is a great and simple way to overclock. Yes I got the chip for 60.00 it was at newegg.com on sale. However, I want to get a celeron d 2.93 and overclock that!!!! That would be a great overclocker...cheap and it could go over 4ghz... all for about 112.00 with the stock fan. I have a friend who pushed it to 4.1 ghz with the stock fan 3 80mm fans and arctic silver. He can outbench most other cpu's. All on the cheap.

Yes. Most of it is in the bios. However, sometimes you may need to change some items on the motherboard. For example, the fsb if you need to change that from 100 to 133 but most of it is in the bios on most modern boards

well begin by going into the bios and uping the fsb a little...say go from 166 to....175 see how the computer handles it.

guys id slow down a little dont push your fsb up to fast u dont want to get the BSOD lol just go slow and up each a little till u get the feel of it and prime 95 stable doesnt mean its actually game/encoding stable but pretty close if u can super pi 32m and prime all night u should be pretty stable and u can run memtest86 to see how many errors u get its best to get none but u might find with none u cant encode or play games ull just have to keep testing with encoding games and the software i mentioned i just got done encoding a movie with TMPGEnc for 5 hrs cpu on full load 282x9 vcore=1.565 vdim 2.65 ram 2-3-3-7 amd64 3500. i wouldnt go from 166 to 175 so fast maybe 166 to 169 if youve never ocd before. vdimm is ram vcore is cpu

Ok. I will give you an example of when overclocking fails. I have a celeron 2.4 ghz (non D). I overclocked it safely and stable to 3.2 ghz. I basically took the fsb and pumped it up to 133 instead of 100. It is completely stable, runs at about 40 c idle and 45 at load. I am using stock cooling with arctic silver 5 and 2 80mm fans. However it won't go any furthur. I tried everything, it crashes every single time. I have narrowed it down to the processor, the memory can handle it, the board can but the chip won't go any furthur. I basically get blue screens anything even 1 fsb faster.

if u aleady upped the vcore and the vdimm and pushed the fsb what r your ram timings? and what multi r u using? whats the stock multi? 2.8@3.2 seems pretty good get cpu-z to see what your working with. your temps r good and stock cooling @3.2 is good. try changeing your ram timings and make sure u see a gain when u do it i bench with sandra and everest if u go from 3-3-3-5 1T TO 3-3-3-5 2T and gain alot of extra fsb make sure u see a gain u can loosen or tighten timings to get whatu need id do a search and compare your chip to other peoples and see how far they have achieved on stock cooling.
