so how fast of an overclock do you think this 400MHz Celeron can handle? :3c

Follow

as it stands:

-Totally stable at 400, 450, 500, and 540.

-Hangs while loading Windows at 570 (bluescreens in safe mode)

-Hangs right as Windows tries to load at 600

-Won't POST at any higher settings

note that all these settings are (presumably) safe for the RAM (which uses the FSB speed unmultiplied) as it's PC133

also worth noting is the chipset (particularly the SiS620 North Bridge) gets extremely hot at anything higher than 600 (and is pretty hot at anything above 400 really)

also the in-bios hardware monitor has the CPU temp peaking at 58 C

keep in mind that's bios idle, which is a high idle

@azushark the temperature sensors on processors are on-die sensors so Tcase is probably a lot lower than what the sensors say; they're measuring Tjunction
