Hi,
I currently have a PIII 733/133MhzFSB Socket370 CPU running on an ASUS CUV4X mobo.
Overclocking the FSB on this seems very unstable (yes I use 133Mhz RAM) so I was wondering...
If I buy a 100Mhz PIII CPU - and then install it at 133Mhz FSB setup (all components other than CPU running at normal clock speed) this should be more stable right? (providing the CPU is up to it)
If I did this - what is that maximum I'm likely to get out of a PIII?
Can I go for the 850Mhz and clock to 1130Mhz or take the 800 and go for 1064Mhz?
Obviously what ever I do will need some serious cooling so I was going to go with Kyro's recommendation on the Noisecontrol Silverado.
No many will say what a moron, why not go with an AMD and a new mobo? Well, right now I don't want to fully rebuild my system so a chip swap is a nice option - also I'm holding out for the AMD SMP chipsets and then I'll do AMD in style - although I'll needs another Silverado for that... ;o)
Interested on feedback please...
Peter.
