My 366 won´t reach 550MHz

Post by marqus »

Hi,

I Have a BP6 with 2 533 celerons running fine. I bought a 366 SL36C, but i won´t get it to run at 550 FSB100. Socket 1 or 2 no difference.
When I give 2,3V in Bios an choose 104FSB, the Bios prompts celeron 550 but crashes after a while.
I once had that combo (board and 2 cellys), and i remember that there was no problem, letting them run at 100FSB with default core. Do i have an extrem unlucky CPU?
What are the right steps to get it?
thanks

There are no guarantees with overclocking, so you may simply be unlucky.

If you suspect that your PSU is not quite what it could be, a better PSU may give you the results you want.

What sort of cooling are you using on the Celeron? Do you have any thermal compound between the heatsink and the CPU?

Then why the hell not? It's great!

hi,

i really think ist the cheap PSU. It provides 4,86V at the 5V line in standard single CPU 366 Mode...
But, i can use 2 533 celerons without problems....
Hm, for testing i will get another psu, then i know more...

bye

sounds most likely the cpu.
what art the temps on the 533 cpus ans system when running dual?
what do the caps on the board look like?
whats the history on the 366 you got?
There are *almost* no bad BP6s. There are mostly bad caps.

No BP6s remaining
