I made some small changes, making my CPU freq 145 (from 133) and my Vcore 1.55 from 1.525 and my memory frequency 387 from 333. I'm monitoring the temp while my computer is running (using Speedfan 4.21), and at moderate usage, im getting very close to 55, around 52-54. This brought my CPU speed up to 2.61 from 2.4.

Not bad. That's probably as high as you want to go without better cooling. If you feel like it, you could at least pick up some Arctic Silver 5 from a local computer shop (CompUSA's and Fry's' have it), scrape the stock thermal goop off CPU and heatsink, and apply some AS5 as instructed. :thumbsup This would be a relatively inexpensive method for bringing temps down ~5C (and therefore giving you headroom for maybe another 100 mhz).

wow ~5C? thats sick!

Howdy all. Been looking around to see if there was any info for overclocking a P4 1.5 CPU. (Bit of history, I know) Got a little machine sat in the corner, with a 400 FSB mobo, running aP4 1.5 Ghz cpu, 256 DDR RAM. wondered if anyone had had a crack at one of these, and any best suggestions. Multiplier seems to be locked, but wasn't sure if anyone knew of any way around it. Heard ideas from some that by removing one of the pins from the CPU, can either alter/unlock multiplier, but haven't got a clue myself. Thought it bestto ask someone who knows before I take the pliers to the chip. :-)

Did you read the thread you just posted in? its the intel oc guide so read it if you want to know how to overclock your cpu.
Welcome

Hi wicked site guys i have read the topic throughly and not one person has tried to over clock a laptop is there a reason ? one thing i have notice though is the difference in desktop vs laptop temp my lappy shows the processor running @ 65 degreese @ idle and around 68 @ load also hdd runs @54 @idle and 57@load so can they even be clocked in a safe manor ie: temp wise (running a intel p4 2.2gig)



After i wrote this i did a search and sadlly have found out it aint such a good idea to overclock it oh well looks like ill have to get a desk top to

the Abit IC7-Max3 is tight for socket478 as is
the Asus P4C800. But if you want something that looks amazing get an IC7-Max3, because the Asus kinda looks boring.


Edit: oops... hehe sorry didnt realize how old that post was

Intel MoBo's do allow for some minor overclocking using what they call in the BIOS "stability test" or "burn-in mode". You can adjust your bus speed from -2% to +4%. I run my P4 3.06/533/133 at +4% burn-in, which amounts to 3.19/555/139. Not a lot, but it does give some improvement, with ZERO change in operating temperature.

They give you this warning about how this is just for system builders to test the limits but I run mine all the time. Isn't that why we're OCer's?

Hey everyone,
After some research and a lot of reading I decided to take the plunge and see if I can oc my BIB(b*tchinabox). I would like to know if I up the fsb from 100 stock to 120MHz(X4) and everything boots and runs do I still need to up the vcore? Also, nowhere in my BIOS can I find a setting to lock the pci/agp freq. I clocked it up to 2.4GHz and ran prime95 for an hour and a half and got no errors but the temp shot up from 42ish to almost 60C(on a Northwood-yikes!). Also I'm still not too clear on all the RAM settings so I just leave them on default. The values in cpu-Z indicate that the RAM latency settings seem to adjust themselves according to the cpu fsb. 145MHz at 2.0GHz and 160 at 2.4 with 3:4 ratio. Yeah I know, get better RAM.($$$) Since my mobo won't take a processor over 533fsb I guess I'm limited as to how far I can juice it up. Any suggestions would be more than welcome.

Yeah, that board probably doesn't offer bus locks. If you're stable for 2 hours, that's generally a good indicator that the system is stable, however, 24 hours of Priming is really recommended to ensure absolute stability. Load temps of 60C are definitely too high. I would do whatever it takes to keep them under 55C.
