Celeron 2 1ghz overclock.. 1,33GHZ possible?

[BDSM]

Well.. what are my chances? I'm using an ASUS Cusl2 mobo.

I spose a 900 or even 850 would be much more likely to hit 133 mhz fsb but.. I want to eek out as much performance out of the system I have. The CUSL won't run the celeratin 1200.. and if I'd buy a new mobo I could just as well buy an athlon.. but then I'd have to upgrade the memory as well.. argh!.. So. again.. I want to eek out as much as I can out of my present mobo and memory.

I know.. the p3 is faster than the celeron but it's simply too expensive.

The 800 celeron will make 1066Mhz (133Mhz fsb) for sure. The 850 and the 900 can make it sometimes too, but that is taking more of a risk. The 1Ghz has made it a couple of times that I have seen, but that is pretty unlikely. The cheapest way is the 800, and with a little luck and good cooling you might get a 140Mhz fsb for 1120.

I've got a CeleronII 850 @ 1241 for the moment....

I have a Celeron 900 @ 1200 with 133FSB and 1.85 voltage, this is on a Abit BF6. I think the chip could go higher with the proper board.

 

[Stormgiant]

i'm currently running mine 1000@1250... It gets a little hot I can boot at 1330, but it gets real unstable...

i know my system can do 133, cause i had before a 900@1200...

 

[boyRacer]

Your chances are pretty good... not guaranteed. My bros old Celly can boot, get into XP, and survive whatever he throws at it at 1.33GHz at def voltage which is very impressive... but his USB ports dont work at 133FSB for some reason. Then again hes using a BX board with it, which is odd because he had no problem running a p2 350 at 466.

 

[aswedc]

If you got the Celeron 1.0A (Tutalin) I'm sure it would be no problem, but with a regular it might not work.

 

[BDSM]

I have a Cusl2. And it doesn't support the Tualatin. So I'm out of luck there. That's why I want as fast a Celeron 2 as possible.

Does anyone know if there is any site on the net that sells pretested celeron's nowadays? It seems like most of those firms have ceased selling Oc'd processors. Probably cuz the T-birds used to be so cheap there really was no reason to buy OC.

You could look at the overclocking database located at
Overclocking Database- Celeron 2

this includes the original CPU speed, the overclocked (OC) speed, OC bus, cooling and heating compounds.

Hope this helps

 

[easystreet]

I have a CUSL2.
I tried 2 different Cel 900 and they wouldn't quite make it to 133 FSB.
But ......a 1GHZ Cel made it to 1334 with a slight increase in voltage.


You pays your money and takes your chances..............

 

[PH0ENIX]

You know, in theory, there's no reason that any Celeron2 couldn't make the 133FSB ?

After all, they are based on p3 cores... Allbeit perhaps ones that aren't quite up to scratch.
Granted, no doubt a few 900's were just 850's with a higher multiplier set on them, yadda yadda yadda, making it harder to overclock, but if you are really determined you can always snap off the multiplier-pin (www.plasma-online.de for details).

As long as you get one that isn't made in Afghanistan, (like always, malaysian tends to be the best) hike the voltage up a bit, fiddle with your memory timings, and of course get a mainboard that 'doesn't suck' - the 133 FSB should be easily attainable.

My C850 runs 133*8.5@1.90v stable, the memory timings and voltage the only thing that stood in the way.

Thats the thing - most people expect to just whack that bus speed up, tweak the voltage (even if they think of that), and away it goes.
If you're only going from 100FSB to say 111FSB, that might be the case. Once you start really altering that clock speed, you've got to look @ all limiting factors.

The best advice I think any would-be overclocker can recieve, is that if you plan on 'extreme' overclocking... Buy the hardware for it.
Ie: it's no good getting a board that supports bllsht high FSB's if it auto-detects the FSB range from the pins on the CPU.
You want to be able to force as many settings as you can possibly think of - intelligent hardware makes for limited hardware, generally

 

[boyRacer]

just to remind you... some CUSL2/CUSL2-Cs suffer from the infamous 'cold boot' problem. if you need a higher voltage to get into windows... the computer will give you a BSOD and then you'll have to restart it to have it work fine and stable again. apparently... the motherboard does not hold the voltage you selected during first boot... therefore not giving your CPU enough to get into windows. you'll have to do the wire trick... look it up at cusl2c.com... they have more experience with it. I had to do the wire trick myself before i got rid of that problem.

 

[BDSM]

Thanx again everyone. BoYRaCeR.. Yes it has that problem. However since I reboot about once a month it is not a big problem. It has never given me a bsod though. I I used to run a celery 600@900 and whenever I coldbooted it would just boot at 600.. Then I had to go all the way into windows and then restart and enter bios and alter fsb settings. and then boot again. The 733 mhz celery I'm running now @ 1100 seems 2 be able to make it without a reboot.

I wish there was a place I could buy a celery 1 gig pretested to 1333 mhz. too bad there isn't.

<< CUSL2/CUSL2-Cs suffer from the infamous 'cold boot' problem. if you need a higher voltage to get into windows... >>



I've had 3 CUSL2 boards and never have experienced that problem

 

[BDSM]

Then you probably have a cpu that runs fine.. or at least well enough on default voltage to let you post.

 

[Tominator]

Nope! My P III 700@933 needs 1.9 volts to feed it....same goes for the other 2 boards.

 

[BDSM]

Oh well.. my celero 733 needs 1,95 volts to boot at 1100 and it used to not work.. but now it does.. dunno why.

 

[bizmark]

my 850 runs completely stable @133FSB (1.13GHz), 1.74V (almost in spec)

 

[GeForceG]

Sure is possible!

I have a Celeron 1Ghz and overclocked it to 1.33Ghz.

Iwill BD100Plus Intel 440BX Chipest
Aopen 370 socket converter.

I raised the Voltage to 1.9 volt
and FBS to 133Mhz.

EDIT: Runs 24/7 100% stable. 38C-40C on full load.

 

[easystreet]

CUSL2-C.....Cel 1Ghz at 1.34Ghz
The 2 Cel 900's I tried wouldn't quite make it to 133fsb.
PIII-700 made it though......but wouldn't go 1Ghz

 

[giocopiano]

What is the magic in the cD0 stepping allowing such high clockspeeds on the P3 0.18 micron? Intel had to recall the initial P3 1.13GHz.

[steimm]

I'm running my CeleronII 850 with 150MHz FSB and it works fine. That gives me 1275MHz out...

I'm soon going to try peltier-cooling to see if I can get it higher....

[BDSM]

OK.. thanx everyone.. But what do you figure my chances are? it seems 900@1200 is a pretty sure thing, right? Maybe three out of four make it or so... or?

But the 1000@1333 ain't as sure, right? maybe one out of three make it, right? or?

ASUS TUSL2-C - Celeron 1A Ghz - 1333mhz - STOCK VOLTAGE - STOCK HSF - first time posted, booted! Very impressed with the setup...
