Shadow334 Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 I am a long time computer geek. I do know a lot if you dont belive me just talk to me. But I have wanted to learn how to over clock. Yet i can not find not one usefull form or tutorial on the web to do this. So if you could help let me know, I will take any advice at this point. Thanks.

Mangar Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 (edited) I have OCed a bunch of Celly's I think they are great!! Think about it, Celly's are just P4's that didn't meet all of Intel's tests. They lower the cache and FSB to make them into Celly's to pass those tests. I have made many Celly's hit over 3.2ghz mostly older northwood chips, but I did get my Celly 2.8ghz prescott to 3.5 stable with stock p4/3.0 heatsink, and yes my sig needs updating. What exactly do you need help with? PS: this should be in the Overclocking section I believe.

BarneyGumble Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 I used to have a Celeron Northwood 2.0Ghz and managed to oc to 2.67 Ghz just through the BIOS setup of my MSI motherboard. I think MSI boards are great for basic overclocking to start with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangar Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 (edited) If you have a northwood chip, I like DFI lanparty boards or Abit boards, I did use one Gigabyte PE1000-g PRO boards and had good results too. I have found with the northwood chips that the 865pe boards work very well and are cheap, just be sure they have adjustable bios settings for FSB, AGP volts, CPU volts, etc. Edited September 29, 2005 by Mangar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdoggown Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 The Celeron D 2.53 I just sold to CyberGrunt today was stable at 3.02, but not without a big honkin heatsink on it. Prescott core and all that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangar Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 (edited) Prescotts: hotter than a blond on the beach give me a northwood hands down!!! I have a Swifty H/S w/92mm Tornado on my 2.8D and it still runs higher than my oced to 4.0ghz Northwood 3.0c(30 cap).

cdoggown Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 I hear you on the prescott thing. My very first build, a 333MHz Slot 1 Celly was a great OCer percentage wise! Those didnt get warm at all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangar Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 Yea, those prescott's do run hot, but I have found that to do stand a fair amout of heat before shutting down. I have had mine shut down in the 90+ heat this past summer. Dang strange weather for Michigan!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
