Overclocking P4 1.5Ghz (478) to 1.XGhz?

[DealDatabase]

Yesterday I received my 1st two P4s which are 1.5Ghz and are 478 pin version. On Monday I should be getting my Abit TH7II-Raid boards and I was wondering what I can get with 1.5Ghz cpus? What can I push them to? These CPUs look very impresive with the new size they use, the size of 25 cents coin. I look forward to Northwood CPUs which will kill AMD once again! Can you say 8Ghz?

Well the way you sounded I can see it coming. I'd just try to just increase the fsb 1MHz at a time, and then when it stops running stable, increase vcore, and keep on going. I think 1.6 or 1.7 isn't unreasonable.

As Athlon4all said, and I'd like to add, that it all depends on the cpu you have, as to if it will OC well or not/ some do, some don't.
