Hello everyone,
last year i purchased a combo from frys for the core 2 duo e7300 and GF7050VT-M ecs motherboard which is capable of overclocking. I never tried overclocking it because i never needed to and the thing was plenty powerful. However, in a few days I will be receiving a celeron 450 2.2 ghz cpu (comming inside my new dell, ill swap the cpus) so then it will be the celeron 450 on the GF7050VT-M (hense the title). I know that the celeron has plenty of overclocking abilities and i was trying to get it to work with my core 2 duo. In my bios i have the option to mess with the settings (someone who is familiar with the board would know better) and you can change the FSB in there up to 1333 with some other options under it. I can take a pic of it if anyone needs it to help me. I tried to set the c2d to 1333 and windows basically blue screened and didn't boot at all. I was wondering how exactly I should overclock the chip. It's not a huge deal, but still i would prefer that i could get it to 3 GHZ from 2.2 so its a little faster (even though i will swap it out within a year). Any help would be appreciated and I will glad to answer any questions that will help you in solving my problem.
Thanks
Kumar

Yeah however, as i slightly covered on before, the cpu isn't replacing my c2d its jsut adding on to it. I have a pc with a core 2 duo that i built last year with the EC motehrbaord that can overclock then i got a new dell desktop computer since we needed a ntoher computer in the house. I want the dell since its quieter and all so I'll just put my c2d and be done with it. then ill put the celeron in the custom built computer and was planning on jsut giving it to my parents to use just liek that but then remembered the motherboard can overclock. this is only temporary until i can get a pentium dual core or core 2 to replace it, but i wanted to get the celeron a little faster to prevent my parents from comlaining at all. and since the motehrboard can oc, why not? i just need to know how exactly to do it.

thanks

Ok so let me get this strait, you are getting a celeron that will be installed in an EC mobo, and handed over to your parents? And you want to overclock that celeron so your parent's dont find out that you have given them a PC with a Dinosaur CPU?

No, my parents know that they are getting the one with the crappy CPU. I just wanna OC it so they don't complain that it sucks or something ahead of time even thought it will be upgraded eventually. No way you can slip a core 2 duos power in a celeron. even if the clock speed is faster it has like 1/6th of the cache.
Thanks

P.S I keep saying im gonna upgrade it later. I'm waiting for a core 2 duo or pentium to go on sale at microcenter like once every few months.

Well as far as overclocking your celeron, it should not be that hard and it does depend on your mobo... not all mobo's overclock the same... You might be able to get maybe 500 to 600Mhz increase but I would first have to see what Bios options you have available with the EC mobo.....

Can you post the exact specs so I know what we are working with?

What exact specs would you liek
the motherboard is a GFT7050VT-M as stated earlier
the cpu will be that celeron 450 2.2 ghz
the bios has the option to mess with the fsb (i can get you a pic if you request )
4gb of crucial memory (2 sticks of 2gb @ 667mhz i think)

again if you want anything else i can give you the specific information.

Thanks
Kumar

Ok, first off what do you have as your FSB(front side bus) at the moment?
And i need your CPU voltage...You should be able to get this info from CPU-Z, if you don't have it, download it and let me know...

Yeah, I've read that the Celeron 450 is a great overclocker. Out of all the ECS boards I've owned almost all of them have limited or no overclocking options.

Well, thanks for the info, but what settings do i mess with here? Here is a screen shot of it and the minimuum fsb i can OC it to is 533. does that sound right? here are some pics of my bios options with voltage control and stuff.

Well I did that and it didn't seem to make a difference on the clock speed, but here are the screenshots. Check em out.
Thanks

Oh i forgot to remind you that i still am using the c2d cuz the celeron didn't come in yet, but im still going to learn how to do it on this so then when it comes i can oc it (as backwards as that sounds)...
