Volcano 5 for socket 370

[chaos]

perhaps i should have asked before i boought but..Is this a good cooler? I got the arctic 2 compound for it. Im trying to take my celeron 700 past 933mhz stabilly, will this cooler do it? Also can i use my computer for those 2 days the arctic 2 compound has to cure or whatever?

just put on the tiniest amount of arctic silver on... volcanos alright... not the best but far from the worst... you should be able to reach 933 with stability as long as you dont have any very annoying pci cards...

you do not strengthen the weak by weakening the strong

The Volcano 5 was tested there, I just ordered a Volcano 6 with the 4000rpm fan, it did very good in the tests and is quiet. You can also get a Volcano 6 CU+ which comes with a 7000rpm fan. Since I want the computer to be a bedroom computer, the slower speed fan is the one I am getting. The cost was $13 for me at <A HREF="http://www.puicorp.com/" target="_new">http://www.puicorp.com/</A>.

It should cool fine. But why did you choose the 700? The 566 will do 850 at 100Mhz. The 600 will do 900 at 100Mhz. The 633 will somtimes to 950 at 100MHz. The 700 in order to survive would normally have to be set at a bus speed below 100MHz, hurting performance. There is always a possiblity that you got one of the rare 700's that will do 1050 at 100MHz, but that's not likely.

i bought the 700 a while ago before i knew anything about computer hardware. But from what i saw at this article:
http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://www.pccodex.com/articles/printer.php3?article=31&prev=/search?q=celeron+700+overclocking&hl=en&safe=off&sa=G

The celeron 700 is a pretty good overclocker. Beats the duron 700 pretty well when overclocked

I looked at the article. Yep, it sucked. Why? Because it only went to 92MHz FSB. At that frequency, the PCI and AGP busses are overclocked so far as to cause concern with device failure. At 100MHz, the PCI and AGP buses return to stock speeds. And most motherboards do not support odd bus speeds like 92MHz. So any Celeron that cannot reach 100MHz FSB is not a good overclocker in my book.
Having said that, you might get lucky and get it to go to 100MHz anyway. A few can do it.
