Aight here's what. I got an old Pentium 4 (Willamette - Without HT) running at the stock speed of 1700Mhz in my office. I'll be getting a new PC to replace this one 'til christmas, but for now I'll try to overclock it. So far I increased the FSB to 112.2 - Overclocking it to 1908.2Mhz. The system is stable, and theres been no CPU Voltage alterations.

CPU Specifications (Stock):
Intel Pentium 4 Willamette
Core Speed: 1700Mhz
Multiplier: x17
FSB: 100Mhz
Bus Speed: 400Mhz
CPU Temperature: ~49°C

CPU Specifications (Overclocked):
Intel Pentium 4 Willamette
Core Speed: 1908.2Mhz
Multiplier: x17
FSB: 112.2Mhz
Bus Speed: 449Mhz
CPU Temperature: ~52°C

Mobo Specifications:
Model: P4S333-M
Chipset: SiS645
Bios Version: ASUS P4S333-M ACPI BIOS Revision 1007 (Latest).

Also, the CPU Voltage seems to modify for itself to fit the processor needs. Is it supposed to be manually alterable? And any tips/suggestions to help overclocking it further? (Without the need for changing CPU Cooler).
 
Cool, thats pretty good.


========================
Try everything...
Do not be afraid of failure, for this is how we learn and grow...
Live life to the fullest...
Do not regret what you have not yet done!!!
 
Check Bios for manual CPU voltage settings, little by little...

Maybe he should have changed the cooler...

I already see you posting temps at 52c from 1.9ghz so watch those temps closely.

LOL 😛 I thought I'd wait a bit to see how things would turn out. It looks to be stable, although I had to lower the CPU speed a bit - Down to 2040Mhz and running good/quiet - UT2004 on high graphics quality + 16 active players in a medium map... no errors or shutdowns... although the game FPS rate sucks a lot 🙁 Damned GeForce3... Anyway heres my final overclocking:

CPU Specifications (Overclocked to Limit):
Intel Pentium 4 Willamette
Core Speed: 2040.0Mhz
Multiplier: x17
FSB: 120.0Mhz
Bus Speed: 480.0Mhz
CPU Temperature: 48°C - 56°C
