Overclocking

I wanna overclock my CPU. And I am asking for some help please

 

CPU Pentium3 550E MHz (100MHz FSB x 5.5 multiplier, 1/3 PCI Clock/CPU FSB Clock, 1.600voltage)

RAM 448 Mb Ram @ 100MHz (128Mb, 64Mb, 256Mb, and they should run at PC100MHz)

GPU ATI Radeon 7500 AGP 64Mb @ 2x AGP

Motherboard ABIT BE6-II v1.1 (aka BF6)

Windows XP Profesionnal

 

I have tried to overclock it from my original state to 115 x 5.5 (633MHz) with 1/3 PCIClock and my comp rebooted just before it entered Windows.

121 x 5.5 (667MHz) with 1/4 PCIClock = Same thing.

Also tried 100 x 6.5 (650MHz) with 1/3 PCIClock, but my BIOS recognised 733MHz for some reason and my comp rebooted like 5 seconds after starting loading Windows (still not in Windows). Same thing happened when I tried to use the 133 x 5.5 with 1/4 PCIClock to gain my true 733MHz, same thing happened. I also tried to use the 133 x 5.5 with 1/4 and 1.650V (a guy used that on his comp and it was running stable), nothing to change ; still rebooting.

 

I am getting desperated, as I want to gain some performance for this crappy comp.. :S

 

I also happens to have the benchmarkings of my comp :

 

CPU Score : 1460

MEMORY Score : 1278

(PCMark2002)

 

And about temperatures and other settings of my MOBO.. (oC = degree celcius)

 

Motherboard is set to beep when CPU gets to 70oC, and to shut down at 75oC.

550 MHz = 34oC idle, 40oC loaded

633 MHz = 35oC idle

667 MHz = 38oC idle

650 MHz (733MHz) = 40oC idle

733 MHz = 40oC idle

733 MHz/1.65V = 38oC idle

 

Here is a link to a *french* site that contains many overclocking choices with my cpu.. dont worry bout the language, it should be okay. And my MOBO chipset is a i440BX.

Any ideas to get a stable computer that will run under Windows XP?? Any tips, suggestions or anything related to this, please post it here or send me e-mails at imfrost@gmail.com thanks alot!

DON'T TAKE MY ADVICE! I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING

 

 

 

man lol I thought overclocking was like.. on the motherboard there are like three prongs or 4 prongs or somehting and there is something connecting them and you like pull the connectors off od preong 1 and 2 and put it on prong 2 and 3 or something, heehee /palmface.. I know not what Ispeak of sorry Frost

 

Im so Prettyboi

shall I hand you another beer? jk you speak sooooo strangely tonight amitesh

O_o lol are you on my Vent? lol lol lol lol lol lol

LOL nope Im not on your vent

I've never been a fan of overclocking pentium chips of any sort. That is one of the reasons I run AMD's in all my machines... not to mention the Price you pay for the pentium name.... sry I would be of no help in overclocking a pentium

Amd's are the best for overclocking. Intel really doesnt handle it well. If you increase the frequency, you have to slightly increase the core voltage to compensate for the demand. But please beware, make the changes in smallest increments at a time. When it acts up, backoff on a setting. Also get a better heatsink. With overclocking comes more heat. Heat is death to a cpu, so get a better heatsink and fan and dont be shy on the hs compound.

uhhhhh u should get a new PC.

 

my stats-

 

AMD 64 3700+ OC'd 2.4 to 2.8 using 12x multiplier... it ran stable at 2.8 but im playing it safe and keepin it at 2.6 215x12 it runs approx 36C stable 45-50 under load....

 

Pentium = the crap when it comes to OCing. i suggest reducing ur clock multiplier and upping FSB> i dont think ur chip has an HTT setting so no worries on that. also a stock coller wont cut it for the overclocking. you will need new CPU cooler.

 

 

Nomad.

bah. try to find a P3 cooler these times ^^;

 

Also, the increasements I wanna do ain'T much doing heat with my CPU... original state at 34C stable and 40C under load... if I can get a clock that works fine at 38C, it should heat at 45C max...

Hmm I see we can't esit messages.. oh well.

 

I have a sleeping P4 waiting for a new MOBO. the thing is that I dont know if the CPU works. The MOBO seems like scrap tho. whenever I plug the 12v plug the PSU wont work nemore. so I thought the MOBO is off duty. I dont know the speed of the CPU either since I never ran it. Ill need to buy a new Motherboard (socket 478), new RAM (since anything is running under DDR these times, and all I have is PC100/133...) and probly a new video card if the mobo Ill buy is PCI-E.

 

Would you recommend me eBay for this kind of stuff? I went on eBay yesterday for fun and I was amazed at all the stuff that can be found there.
