Overclocking (settings)

Ok guys, this is for all you overclocking experts. I Just got my hands on a Celeron 500mhz and a Abit BE6 board. I want to overclock it. I've never done this before. At what setting should I put my multiplier, Voltage and FSB. All responses are well appriciated. The cpu is not mine, I don't want to burn it. That's why I thought I'd should get an opinion from you experts first.

You are very unlucky, or should I say your friend who own the 500Mhz cel.

Why? see toms list and overclcokers.com and the rest that Cel 500Mhz, is the least overclockable one. Sorry, thats just how things are unless you've got a special one from blessing of gods.

Anyway, multiplier is locked, cannot be changed so forget about doing anything with it. All Intel is like this.

Default voltage is 2, so increase to 2.1 or 2.2 no problems.

FSB originally 66, so next step is 75Mhz, then 83, then 90, then 100 and so on. increase until your comp won't boot windows or post. or crash when play games etc.

I wouldn't care less if my CPU (Duron 650 O/C 900) dies right now, if you ask me, anything that is not DDR is already obsolete. not to mention athlon/duron that is not 133/266 FSB.

Therefore increase the voltage as high as you can until so many times higher in 0.1V steps that it can't O/C anymore.

Say, if you can get it to work as 2.4V 750Mhz, then increase to 2.7V and still no improvement then you know you've hit the ceiling so reduce it back to 2.4 and stick with 750Mhz.

I have not seen any website publish a Cel500 making into 750mhz. soryr! n I've also got one (

thank god sold!

like the previous advice get a powerful cooler, then add as many 4inch fan as you can in the tower case to suck all the hot air out, NOT blow in.

Best regards
