p4 2.4 533fsb OC question

[addiarmadar]

I was planning to build a computer with the Intel p4 2.4 533fsb cpu retail boxed (Northwood). This means it has a clock cycle of 133. The Mobo Im getting can support pc 2700 ram (Asus P4GE-V). Im an AMD man and do not know every little oc detail with the intel chips. Im just wondering if you up the clock cycle on this CPU from 133 to 166, which would give about 3ghz. Is this a workable goal?

Ya its workable, you will probably need a slight voltage increase but it is definitly do-able. I would recomend using a dual channel mobo, because pc2100 paired with a 533mhz bus is only supplying half the bandwith the p4 can effectivly use (same with 666mhz bus paired with pc2700). The abit IS7 is such a cheep board, it would be a much better idea to go with that...


If it isn't a P6 then it isn't a procesor

i think i just relised why intel never released a cpu with 166mhz fsb; because it would be marketed with a 666mhz bus...it would be the cpu of the devil

but couldn't that be rounded to 66<b>7</b>Mhz?...

I guess not, after all, a 166Mhz QDR bus is still a 166, not 167Mhz Bus... So these guys never round 0,5+ as 1...

They rounded in the case of the Pentium 3. It was released at 667MHz, not 666MHz. (That was the one and only <font color=red><i>True</i> CPU Of The Beast</font color=red>.)
