Ok I just got a celeron 600 and overclocked it to 900mhz the cpu temp is running around 134f what kinda temps are acceptable and where should I begin to worry

Dogg, as I dont know I will point you to a very friendly place for help. www.hardwarecentral.com their boards are visited frequently! You will get help fast!

Dogg, Pentiums are the preferred CPUs for over-clockers. They are tough enough to handle the increased temps. Just to be on the safe side, put in an oversized heatsink if you can fit it, and an additional fan to pull the hot air out of the case. I would also recommend using heat sink compound between the CPU and the heatsink. It provides for better thermal transfer.

Actually, i really think that Celerons are better for overclocking, IMHO. If i am not wrong, the later pentium don´t allow you to increase the clock multiplier, only the bus speed, resulting in compatibility problems with the peripherals... Of course pentiums are #better# cpu´s, but not for overclocking

Dogg, had any luck coolong down your processor? Just to give an exampl, I'm running an 800Mhz AMD T-bird and prior to upgrading my heat sink it was running around 104 F. after it runs abot 95 F.

I am running a gold orb cpu cooler at first I was running the cpu grease that came on it when I changed that the temp came down to around 100 F so thats not to bad about the multiplyer Its locked on P2 P3 and celeron. Sence the celeron has a 66 mhz FSB it is more overclockable the board I have is a Abit bx133-raid and the bios let you move the FSB 1 mhz at a time after 83 mhz so to get 900 mhz The multiplyer on the 600 is locked at x9 you just set it at 100 mhz FSB. Sence my vid card and stuff ran ok with a 133 FSB on my P3 533 100 mhz is well within spec. BUT there are only a few Celeron 600's that are able to be run that fast.

Dogg, just take care with your PCI... They normally are based on that speed you are setting, so if you set it to 100MHz you need to adjust your pci multiplier to make it stay in the 33 MHz (or was it 66MHz?) speed. If you are setting it to 100MHz you should set your multiplier to 1/3 (for 33MHz) There are many PCI peripherals that are a bit demanding on this spec

Ok PCI will do 1/4 1/3 1/2 and so I set it at 1/3 agp will do 1/2 and 2/3 and 1/1 I have it at 2/3 now is that good?

Hmmm I had PCI at 1/2 now its at 1/3 my sound a lan seem to be working faster/better
