Overclocking the Celeron 566

[Rude]

Hiyas men!

Could anyone offer some tips or experience with overclocking this chip?

Many articles indicate that 850mhz is no prob...I however can only muster 708.

I run an ASUS P3BF MB with 128 ram....at 100mhz FSB, it wont even post.

Thanks, and btw, I would have posted this in the hardware forum if I thought anyone would read it  

Cyas Up!

Hi Ya rude.
I got 708 from mine as well. That is with a golden globe fan-heatsink.
How much voltage are you giving it? Can you modify voltage to 2.0 volts on a p2b-f
I have a p2b and have to rely on the slot1-370 adapter to give the processer enough juice.. I am not sure that it is getting the votage it needs for 850.
Mine gets through the processor ID and bios screens. Seems to hang on the Windows logo screen. I have a post on a hardware board asking for advice to make it past 708...

my new celeron 566 works perfectly at 850 Mhz with a BH6 v1.0 and a voltage of 1.7 v.

Get a STEP Thermodynamics fan, and you'll be able to overclock the hell outta it.

The link is somewhere in the hardware forum.

If you up the voltage a little and it won't even post no amount of cooling is gonna get to o/c. (except maybe active cooling, i.e. peltier, or freon). The truth is that you are lucky if you get an 850 from a 566. Try purchasing cpu's from o/c specialist or find a friend at a local pc shop. They can test all the cpu's they get and sell you the good ones.

Rude, I told ya to go ABIT!

I don't know about that luck, but I know dozen friends with 566 -> 850 and couple with 600 -> 950 or 900.
I haven't heard about problems with it until now

Thanks Guys!

I should have bought one of the gauranteed chip fan adapter combo thingies, however patience has always been my downfall  

Toad...Abit? Abit of what?  

Cyas and thanks to all who posted here

Feel lucky.

The only thing I can get outta my 566 (with a golden orb fan/cooler) is 637.

It starts getting flaky at 708 and dies rapidly.

I can't even get it to post at 850.  Turn on the machine, and the little light on my monitor never even goes green. <sigh>  I tried all voltages from 1.5 to about 1.7something.   not gonna go higher.

Ouch out

Try feed more voltages for it.
I've read that celeron 566 overclocked to 850 runs on 1.7-1.9 voltage
Perhaps your CPU is starving electric food  
I doubt anything will happen if you keep eye on CPU heat.

One thing I've heard that might help would be to put memory chip into another slot.

I have very little experience with overclocking with newer computers, but I have been reading lately some overclocking forums to find new CPU and their overclocking reliability.

Abit BH-6 MB with 566 Celeron.  Ran at 850 the first time I fired it up, good ever since.  I have an extra case fan, and a large CPU fan on the chip, no other extraordinary measures.  You may need to upgrade your MB bios as well to allow all the multipliers and FSB settings to match up.

Can't remember the voltage I'm running right offhand, but it was what was in the article I read (Anandtech.com I think).  If you want a link to a "how-to" go over to AGW and search their hardware forum.  There's a couple of topics in there (Hobo was the originator) with a link to a good article on it.

Hi rude,
        Her's a link to the post I told you about online. It's more about how to tweak your V770 than O/Cing your Celeron but there are some links and info that ought to help you out.
