How far will a P4 Celeron 1.7 overclock with stock cooling? Also, i have a Via P4M266 chipset - how far would that go? I installed a new heatsink to cool it, the airflow in my case is like a wind tunnel. My System runs stable at 1.8 and the CPU temp at 1.8 is around 30 on idle and 34 in games..... Anyone else pushed a celeron 1.7 to its limits???
Not very far unfortunately.
The 1.7 Celleron is built from the 0.18micron "wilty" core... and that only went up to 2Ghz... and is well known for producing a prestigious amount of heat, more than AMD cpu's.
With stock cooling you may get 2Ghz... but i highly doubt much beyond that.
You really should have got a P4 1.6A or 1.8A.
