overclocking... what else...

sham255 · 23rd Nov 2002, 11:30 AM

i need to know.. my p3 is set to 133x6.5 which equals to roughly about 866 MhZ.. is it possible for me to overclock it further...??

It really depends on your luck. Not all processors overclock the same. So I'm afraid you have to find that out yourself.

You can list out your system specification, see your parts are capable of overclocking.

I would think that if you have enough cooling, you can get pretty far but of course as Chai said, it is also luck that will play an important role.

If you want that extra edge for overclocking CPUs, go ahead and try out a water cooling setup. More expensive but you can get the ooomph that you normally cannot get with air-cooled.

866 MHz eh? I o/c one before up till 1Ghz without any stability problems!!!

that's running 150Mhz. of course, get good rams and provide good cooling.

and... wish urself a whole lot of luck but the chances are, u'll easily reach at least > 950Mhz

Is i din mistaken it also depend on the factory that make the chip, as chai said not every chip will do... And also all will o/c until the same highest speed hehe

That is very true when it comes to AMD processors but I have never heard of that being true for Intel processors. It could be because Intel have a more mature manufacturing process.

It applies to Intel as well. I still remember my Celeron 300A barely hit 450, but other are hitting 504 easily. And my Celeron 566 hits 850, but other are getting 1GHz!

Yep, i totally agree with PY222. When an Intel chips can o/c, your most probably can too... it's only the extreme speeds that is determined by ur luck.

As I said before, I have seen quite some number of PIII coppermine that can really o/c. So i think your's really can too.

Just FYI, i've pushed the PIII 866 up till a 160 MHz before.... had ram instability problems as the system only had kingston memory, cannot push more than 150Mhz even at Cas 3. Other than that, the PC boots easily.... and that's only with a Vcore +1.0V from default and 'good-enough' cooling!

I still think that intel is not mean for O/C. As i intel guy told me that, they concern about the speed also, but in a stable way

They having a new technology, i forget it name alreday. It will implement on the new 3.06G CPU....

Hyper-Threading?

Well, anyway, good luck to you in overclocking. Even though I am not a major fan of O/Cing, I still do it sometimes.

IMHO, I would prefer stability over speed anytime of the day or night.
