"New" Celly600 ???

[JWMiddleton]

I went to a computer sheaux in Shreveport, LA today and bought a Celly600. The seller (from Dallas) was getting the numbers off the chip for the invoice and said "Oh, 1.7...this is the new version." I heard him, but it did not register. When I got home and looked at the chip I noted that the voltage was marked as <b>1.7volts</b>...hmmmmm...<b>that is different!</b>

I stuck it in a Slotket and added a Gorb, then placed it in a BE6R2 board with the FSB set to 100 MHz. It is running S@H without any further voltage tweaks. The MB did see that it wanted 1.7 volts.

Anyone else aware of this change? The Cel2-533 I put in my Son's computer had a default voltage of 1.5. Just wondering?

I heard that the 600s were not very overclock friendly, so I wouldn't doubt 1.7 being the default. I wasn't aware of the change though, that's the same default as the P3 isn't it? Or is the P3 1.65v...hmm..

You are correct, the 600s are not supposed to be OC friendly. But, the 533 and 566 chips are getting very hard to find. I have a mobo that I knew would get this chip up to at least 800, so I went for it. I was VERY LUCKY that it runs at 900 MHz. Have not tried for higher as I am pleased with it at 100MHz FSB!

What type of memory are you using? Having something fast only makes you want something faster given enough time
Are you sure you don't want to try for 950?
/me is the devil on the overclocker's shoulder

There is also talk of enabling some extra L2 cache. Totaling it up to 256KB. There are some pins on the new chips that were not on the original Celeron 2s.

Anyone know something about this?

The older cB0 core in the Celeron-600 ran at 1.5v, the newer cC0 runs at 1.7v. The newer core is supposed to fix bugs, but I dunno why it should run .2v higher...

I have a CB0 Celeron 600 here that's running atable at 944MHz with 1.65v. Runs 1080MHz OK at 1.8v, but gets too hot with current heatsink.

The cc0 celeron 600s they are selling here is australia are hitting 1-1.1Ghz most only @ 1.75v

I have heard that the default voltage is 1.7 because they were made out of faulty/recalled P3 1.13Ghzs. I wonder if the slot1 p3-600s intel are apparently going to dump on the market after xmas will be made from the 1.133 as well.

I got a celeron 600 with a normal voltage of 1.5 I overclocked it to 900 with a voltage of 1.65 and now I cant even run it at 600 with voltage 1.5 it needs 1.6!!

Now that's strange

it's a new version of the celeron from the newer stepping, the cC0 stepping.. which should, most of the itme, overlcocks better then the old Celeron600
