Overclocking a PIII800EB with ASUS CUSL2

[Guest]

I've clocked my PIII800EB to a speed of 930MhZ and also adjusted the memory cycle times from 3 to 2, and the system is working even more stable then before (Strange thing, isn't it?) It's blazing fast and in my "overclocking fever" I want to go even faster, Anybody knows if this is possible?
Ofcourse I don't want the comp to be more unstable, because I've haven't got any Blue screens, illegal operation's, "just hanging", or other weird stuff in about 4 months (running W98SE) Is it possible to clock this system higher?????

regards

Try going to 160FSB first. That will give you 960. If you need to, increase the voltage. I would stop increasing voltage at, say, 1.85v for extended use (of coarse I've had mine up to 1.95v to see how many gigahertz I could get, but then backed it down). Even 2.05v won't fry most chips, a lot of extreme overclockers are doing this by shorting a couple voltage detection pins together so that it will be auto-detected at that volatage. Keep the chip below 55C under full load. If 160 works good, try 166. 167 gives you 1GHz, if you want to try it. Above that, I think I'd start thinking about refrigeration! BTW, PIII's almost as a rule don't have a problem with 167MHz bus as long as they have small multipliers (like the 6X on your EB).
