Overclock Celeron 700

Buy a new cpu tbh. Even highly overclocked that processor will still be slow. @ 1ghz it might get close to an 800mhz P3. If you must overclock it, just up the front side bus and increase the voltage to the cpu very slightly and see how far you can take it. If its unlocked, try upping the multiplyer too.

1 - When it crashes. Most people use some burn-in software (such as the burn-in wizard in Sisoft Sandra) and leave it running for a few hours before they think it's stable.


2 - All modern PC CPUS get their end speed by multiplying the speed of the Front Side Bus (FSB) [which is usually also the speed your memory runs at] by an internal multiplier, e.g. your Celery is running on a 66Mhz Bus, so it's multiplier must be 10.5 - 10.5x66 = 700Mhz.
On some systems (but not intel systems) the multiplier can be adjusted, which of course results in a faster frequency.... But yours will almost certainly be locked, which only leaves the option of the FSB.

In this respect, you're probably more limited by what Bus options your motherboard has, and your RAM, than anything else. if your board has an option to have a 75Mhz Bus, then that would instantly give you 10.5*75 = 787.5Mhz.

If overclocking in this way results in instability, and your board has the option to do so, you could try <i>slightly</i> increasing the CPU VCore... But as the other guy said, just pick up a 1Ghz PIII or something, and it'll be LOADS faster than you'll ever get a celery to be...

Oh yeah... State exactly which motherboard you have, and chances are someone will be able to give you specific help.

Just had a look at the manual, and I think you're out of luck as far as overclocking goes - your jumpers only allow 66, 100, and 133 FSB. While you could try setting your FSB to 100, I would be <b><i>extremely</i></b> suprised if your 700Mhz Celery could cope with 1050Mhz - even if you have liquid nitrogen cooling.

However, you <i>might</i> have some more options in the BIOS - probably under 'Advanced Chipset Features'. I can't tell for sure because the Manual helpfully just says something like

.... Very Useful
