Celeron D Overclock.

[andy5667]

I have been doing some recent overclocking and i think its decent for a first attempt. What to you people think?

CPU: Intel Celeron D 326
Core: Prescott
Clock Speed (Stock): 2.53GHz
Clock Speed (OC): 2.9GHz
VCore: 1.4V
Multiplier: 19
FSB: 152MHz
Idle Temp: 47C
Load Temp: 56C

One thing is im still on stock cooling. Before continuing should i get a better HSF or even liquid cooling?

 

[tweaker]

Decent water cooling would exceed the cost of a better chip so stick to air, get a better HSF.

Ok. This is my build after my "woops, there goes the P4" incident and its holding out pretty well. I think i will keep it untill conroe time!

not too bad for a first attempt at it

ok im at 3.3GHz tonight. Is it safe to just keep going untill cpu burn in is unhappy?

yes

basically, stress test it with prime95 or superpi.
google them, download them, and run a torture test

Ok it seems ok, is there anyway to change multipliers.

not on celerons, only on extremeditions and other special cpus with unlocked multipliers.

Namely on desktop processors, the AMD FX series.

and other special cpus with unlocked multipliers.

Och so im suck at like 3.4 then?

yup, but i would be happy with an overclock of 900mhz
