overclock cpu

[ssahl]

Ok I went for it. I overclocked my Celeron A stepping 5 468Mhz socket 370 CPU
now it's running at 525Mhz I did have it at 582Mhz and it would post but Windows
would not boot up all the way. I have the bios set to warn me if the temp of
system or cpu gets to 122F reason I set it that low is because that cpu seems
to not run very hot, thus my choice for doing this. What should I look out for
as far as signs of cpu blowing up or something of that nature? also I have a
slot 1 to socket 370 adaptor card that I'm using that has the ability to change
the voltage the goes to the cpu, but I have not changed anything on it yet.
Should I, or should I just leave it the way it is? I was wondering if I did do
that if I would then be able to boot to Windows when it's running at 582Mhz
The way I did this is with the jumper settings on the motherboard. I changed
it from 66Mhz bus clock to a 75Mhz for 525Mhz and 83Mhz bus clock for the
582Mhz the ratio I just leave at 5 because thats the only setting that it will
post from. I have 3 fans going too. One on the cpu one in front and one in
the back right next to the cpu, and this is aside from the one on the power supply. My computer has been on for almost an hour now, so I'm going to reboot
and check the temp of system will post it if anyone wants to know. As usual
thanks everyone for the input.

Hi,

One thing I can recommend to you is to get a program to allow to monitor your cpu temperature in windows. A good one is available at this link:

Motherboard Monitor

When I checked the temp last night (computer was on for almost 2 hours)
it was only 104F It doesnt seem to get to hot. At least I've seen others
get alot hotter. What about changing the amount of volts that powers the
cpu. I think that those kind of Celerons normaly have 1.5v and the card
I'm using there are jumpers to make it 1.7/1.8/1.9/2.0/2.1/2.2/2.5 or
better yet there are jumpers to set the bus clock as high as 112Mhz
The only thing that it says on the socket adaptor card is 'PGA' so I dont
know if it's FCPGA or what. The board is from EON who are not aroung anymore
can I put one of those 900Mhz CPU's (Celeron) in there? because if the best
The board itself is a slot 1 but I'm not sure if it will work with a PIII
or not. The board the Celeron came from could only handle a 533Mhz Celeron
socket 370 at the most, which is just about what this other board is making
the one I'm using at. Is there anyway to tell if the board will work with
one of those socket 370 Celeron 900Mhz or better CPU?

You have a PPGA Celeron now. The fastest one of those was the 533 - anything higher is FC-PGA which I highly doubt that your slotket converter card will support.
