I believe its using one of these specialised Chinese cooling fans, as seen HERE :evil:

Ha. Ha.
I think it's either phase, DI or LN2 .

You're right! Sweet, I'm going to Hobby Lobby to get me some of that sweet stuffage. Aw law law eh g'o i de - that's goodbye in Chinese. Serious

Just to make it clear. It isn't a celeron M. Its a mobile celeron. I dunno why people are getting excited, as P4s have been known to get past 4ghz regularly.

 

[mindwreck]

excited because its a 197% overclock man its not just about mhz to mhz comparison. P4s can start stock at 3.8 and overclocking above 4 ghz is practically nothing.. on the other hand, these Celerons only go up to about 2.4ghz i think and having one of those hit +4ghz is quite hard

I found this to be rather misleading as well. The article makes it sound like he's overclocking one of those 1.4 ghz Dothan-based Celeron Ms, but if you check the actual CPU-Z screenies, it's a Northwood core with 256k of l2 cache, meaning it's Netburst-based. All he did was find an old Pentium 4-M and OC it. Big deal.

Look at northwood cpus. Most can get their northwoods to 3.2-3.4. 4.0GHZ on netburst is nothing.

Obviously the people here miss the point.

The point was to make the biggest % increase on a non-ES chip.

 

[phr0m]

4ghz on a northwood is actually really hard and especially on a lower clocked on like that

 

[mamisano]

Still not sure what all the hooplah is about... You need EXTREME cooling to run it at that speed for a VERY short period of time. Yay!

 

[Zap]

Yeah, it definately says "Northwood" on that CPUZ screenie. Also, C1 stepping revision, which was the better one but not really that rare. I got one of these, a 1.6GHz chip, to run at 3.2GHz (100%). Best thing about it was that it was on an old 845PE chipset board.

So that's about the same processing power as an AthlonXP2400+ or so, right?

THese chips are also probably binned because they are on laptops. Easier to gain higher overclocks. Yes, you probably need phase, but its nothing extreme. I mean people have gotten 4ghz on K8 processors before.

The default vcore is 1.30v on these chips. They are Northwood core and have 256k cache, unlike desktop Northwood Celerons with 128k cache. They actually perform very close to a Northwood P4 of the same clock speed, and of course they perform pretty much identical to a Willamette P4 of the same speed. One of these clocked to 3GHz is roughly like a P4 2.8GHz.
