hi guys, im real new to the idea of overclocking, but i heard celerons were wuite god for this, i read the guide and was really interested in trying to boost my speed up

here are my system specs



would some1 mind letting me know if it is possible to overclock these settings? if so then thats great, ill get to it over the weekend and id let ya now the results

thx in advance

Motherboard, and RAM to an extent, will determine whether or not you can overclock. And sorry to bust your bubble, but while Celerons do achieve some nice clock speeds, their actual useful performance is still quite less than that of a Northwoord or Prescott core because of the significantly less L2 cache and slower bus speeds

its cool, im not looking to do something incredible here, but if i can boost it up, even 300 mhz, its all good

YiffyGriffy

Well if your motherboard supports overclocking (FSB adjustments) you probably could get 3GHz out of that thing.

That had nothing to do with the power supply you were using?

excellent ...in future i redirect intel oc newbies here

i found this guy i know, and his school is getting rid of all its old pcs... they are giving them away for free. i was thinking i would grab some of the Pentium I ... thats right, they are Pentium I's... and see what i can do with the old systems. im doing it for fun and want to see what i can do with free stuff, but can u guys plz help me out and tell me how to overclock these old pieces of junk? i think he said he would get me a 486 and some spare parts.. i dont know tons, but i want to give this a shot. if i fail... i can always sell the stuff as antiques or just smash it. anyhow, can i get some tips?

NoAffinity

Most older boards allow for FSB and multi adjusment via motherboard jumpers. I would be surprised if they offered any sort of voltage adjustability. Just get the mobo's manual, to find out how to adjust the jumpers. If they are true Pentiums (i.e. pre-Pentium Pro), then you should be able to adjust the multiplier, as well as FSB.

we are not gonna be able to find manuals for them.,.. but we r just gonna tinker with the bus speed and see what we can do. gonna have to get some good cooling, but im pretty sure we have that covered... if u know anywhere i can get the manuals for cheap (free is better... im broke...) plz tell me!
