I got an Intel Celeron 2.8 GHZ, I sucessfully OCed to 3.3, but my computer stops there. I think my memory might be too slow? Look @ Pic attached for CPU-Z Info. I heard something about increasing Vcore for more speed, how do you do that? Thanks!

EDIT: up to 3.4 now

You do not have the ability to play with your vcore on that motherboard. ECS is well known to not include any robust overclock bios settings. You will also find that the temperature/voltage readouts are not all that good. It's a good thing that the Prescott processor is not all that receptive to voltage changes which allows you to pump the fsb prettyk well. I would test it out for stability with Prime95 though.

Aww, I can't even keep it @ 3.4, I gotta keep it down to 3.25 cause of stability issues. Well, thanks anyways.

Oh, btw, Ihaven't experienced ANY temperature raise since OCing. Something wrong?

Heck Ive pulled 3.5 out of my Celey D 2.8 no problem, it would have went alot further if Id have had it in a better board. Celey's overclock like mad if you have the right kinda board. ALso just to add to that, I never upped the Vcore, but the board was maxed out before the CPU was.

Heres a CPUz @ 3485.7, 100% stable after 12hours of Prime95.

Well Ive been able to overclock a Pentium 4 2.4C CPU almost 1ghz with the second board in my sig. And Im thinking of tossing the Celey in it just to see how far it will actualy go. The board Ive got is capable of running a CPU @ 1600FSB(not like a person could get the far with out some serious cooling) But Ill bet I can clock my Celey D to at least 3.8 with the P4P800 E Deluxe. I think Ill need some better ram before I try going that high, cause thats pretty much whats stopped me from hitting 3.4 with my P4 2.4c

I've gotten my Celeron D up to 3.96 from 3.06. I have a P4P800SE. it has some nice overclocking features, including control over the AGP/PCI Bus speed and voltage.

quick question (sorry to jack the thread), Today my CPU temps just jumped 10C. When I run games they're tons slower than they ever were before and they're starting to crash. Anyone know what caused that to happen and how to fix it?

Just put it on a divider. P4P800 SE mainboards run an overclock as good as a P4P800-E or at least that has been my experience.
