Overclocking success with PPGA Celerons

[The Doctor]

Hi all,

I was looking to clobber a pair of PPGA Celerons from eBay to refit my BP6. I've been running 366s for some time, but had great problems getting them up to an FSB of 100MHz - they tended to go wobbly over 90MHz, so they ran at 500 for most of their lives. I was wondering what Celerons people are running and how well each overclocks - which Celerons are the best for overclocking, and which ones ran reliably at the highest speed? Did anyone get an unmodded BP6 to run stably at over 600MHz without water cooling?

Cheers all,

Doc

well my 500's would goto 600 and last 3-4 days

but at 585 they are pretty sstable with uptimes around 2weeks

Yeah my 500's would also goto 600, but wouldnt post at any thing over that. Would run for maybe a week at 600 then crash. (depending on what I was doing, as it was pre EC10 being replaced so crashed at stock speed as well.)

Might give them another go some time now that the cap has been replaced.

366s rule!

I used to run mine at 550MHz, but since adding more components I have them at 500MHz (92MHz FSB).

Previously I had 433MHz running at 550MHz, but the PCI/AGP speed was a bit high. Very stable though - I accept no instability.

<singing> Get your kicks on route 3-6-6

I´ve had three BP6 with 366 combos in them. Unfortunately none of them was completely stable at 550 (occasional WinZip errors). Had to go back to 525 / 95 FSB. In a single setup, 550 was no problem, one celeron even got to 600 Mhz.

I still think these are the best cpus for this board. I use the BP6 for work, so I don´t like PCI / AGP / IDE speeds above the specs.
