overclocking pentium II 350mhz

[firestorm31]

hey all..

how hard is it to overclock a pentium II-350?

I realize its a rather old cpu that I have running. I wouldn't mind testing it to see what the buzz is with overclocking.

mobo is a Gigabyte 6BA slot 1 mobo. ram is 192megs PC100 dram.

How fast can it be overclocked to?

what benchmark programs be best for something like this?

I also have a Pentium III-1G, its memory is 786meg PC-133 I think

 

[itotallybelieveyou]

probably not very... i jsut doubt you can get it past 450 mhz

 

[firestorm31]

ok, but how do I overclock it?

go to bios standard HT or bus speed or clock speed is 200. Increase that untill ur pc is unstable...AKA windows wont boot or wont boot for very long without an error. Then raise the voltage to ur vcore...step up by .1 until ur system is stable repeat until ur happy with ur overclock...have fun!!!

 

[ryanthesav]

oh i forgot whenever u up voltage u need to make sure ur cpu is getting cooled properly...it may get very hot!! Also remember ur bus speed * your multiplier is ur new processor speed. For example I have a amd 6000+ my multiplier is 15x my bus speed is 220 therefore my processor speed is 3.3ghz...always check temps when ocing...and remember have fun!!

good luck, you wont be able to do much tho.

i manged to oc my piece of **** celeron (133 x 5 - 663Mhz stock , 150 x 5 = 750Mhz OC) and that was a few years ago... that was year 2002 to be precise.

****.. im getting old : (

O M G ! lol was checking for info about my e6550 rig, and I came across this? a PII?!?! Dewd, that McRoxxorz!

If a reckon the PII cpu is constructed like this

Where could you put a cpu-fan then? Or maybe the heat it dissipates from OC is so low at those frequences?

PS How come that I joined THG-forum before I was born?

The heatsink\fan are on the other side. They got hot and had large surface area heatsinks.
