I decided to overclock my CPU, Pentium III 700MHz (7x100MHz) to 933MHz (133MHz bus). My mobo is the Asus P3V4X so it supports 133MHz FSB + 33 PCI.
These are my questions:
>I have to raise the cpu voltage right? How much (defalt is 1.65V)?
>My temps are 37C idle and 50C on load. Do u think that when I o/c it the temps are going to pass the normal (like 80C)?
>The north bridge (VIA 694X) have a passive HS. Do it needs a fan to o/c?
>Is there any way to unlock P3s SECC2 (slot 1)?
>What is the maximum PCI frequency do u think my PC will be stable?

Thanks

Nobody knows. It should do it at about 1.75v, give or take 0.10v. That's right, it might do it at stock, it might require as much as 1.85v Testing is the only way to know for certain.

No, there is no way to unlock the muliplier. I don't think your northbridge needs a fan, but even if it did burn up it wouldn't be any great loss, that chipset was garbage from the beginning.
