Overclocking Celeron 667

[Guest]

How much luck do I need to run it 100 FSB (1GHz)? If it's possible what kind of cooling do I need? What kind of core voltages would be reasonable?

I've got a Asus CUSL 2-C mobo.

I currently have only a Titan Majesty HSF on the processor (no case fans).

YOu should raise the core voltage to the max allowed in bios to try this. I'll give you a 50% chance. YOu'll be at 1GHz, which will make it almost as fast as a PIII 733 in benchmarks.

My system just locks up after doing it. Well, I didn't expect too much (I need a better processor anyway).

The 566 would have been a better choice, it usually goes to 850 easily (100FSB). The 600 usually goes to 900 with a little effort. The 633 sometimes goes to 950 with moderate effort. The 667 rarely goes to 100 with significant effort.

The PIII 700E usually goes quite easily to 933, and beets every Coppermine Celleron even made, at any speed, even overclocked.

I've used several hundred copermine's (celery and p3's)and i thought the 667 celery was the easiest to overclock everyone(about 35 so far) I tried went to 1gig without any extra voltage. 600 celeries are good also. I particularly like the p3600 E's and 650 E's as Ihavn't had any trouble overclocking them eather though a few ive had to up the voltage.
Hey crash have you noticed the celerons per clock dont need as much voltage to overclock as the p3's are. Slould have kept track of what I had to do to them. It might have been interesting to see.

When I go into a computer store I lose all means of reason for some reason.

My Celeron 533 required a change from 1.50v to 1.85v to be completely stable at 850. My PIII 700 only required a raise from 1.65v to 1.70v to go to 933. My 633 would not hit 950 at any voltage level. Neither would my friend's, nor several members of this forum's.
