Is this normal for the celerons? I bought one just to hold me over till prescott. It has more headroom but my generic pc32000 is like a brick wall. 24C idle 30c under load w/alpha. Not bad for a 50$ chip. Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000-L.
 
Yes, many Celerons overclock very well. Bump the voltage a bit and go for 3.6 Ghz.

As to your RAM: wow, PC32000 !!!!! :) That means it runs at about DDR 4000... Must be some kind of prototype...
 
They oc nice. My shuttle rig is a 2.2 celeron @ 3.3ghz, and i just got a 2.8 celeron that's at a little over 3.7ghz. I'll have some pics and benches up later on it.
 
What program can I use to check what my agp/pci is set to. I think my bios settings for this are not getting saved.
 
I need info on my agp/pci frequency...In the bios its set to fix but easy tune was reporting it as not locked.

Sisoft Sandra - mainboard information tab - PCI/AGP information (scroll down).

Would you tell the difference just web browsing and non-intensive tasks between the overclocked celeron and say a 2.6C?

Nothing wrong with a celeron

3dmark and games take a hit.

EXACTLY that is wrong with Celerons. And that is wrong enough.
 
Pretty normal OC for that proc. I typically have seen 2.85-3.2 for that processor at default voltage.

They are great for a cheap normal person processor. However a Celeron at 3.0 is about as fast as a P4 at 2.4 being optimistic. Not enough power for what I do (shit a p4@3.4 doesn't satisfy my need for speed) and definitely not a hardcore gamer processor.

To clear it up, i meant everything but games.

But then the celeron has it's place in my HTPC rig/ Tv tuner/ divx encoder DVD burning rig. I lose nothing. And actually my celeron rig

And still scoreing almost 15k in 3dmark with a celeron in my above link, I can play any game out there if i wanted.

There's is no way one computer could do what i ask. Gaming is on my sig rig.

8 amd's in my basment average 2.3ghz each running F@H, and a duallie AMD 2300mhz each CPU, for DVD shrink work DVD burning work.

Lets just say i make a lot of Movie "backups"

I bought it for my shuttle rig upgrade. And i only paid $80 from intels IPD program and got a 3.0c at the same time for $207
 
Went with this board and machine would not post after a couple hours of troubleshooting so I decided to take it back. I figured it was the kingston HyperX4000. Excanged the board for another IS7 and some corsair pc3500c2. Everything is working perfect now and my cely 2.0 is @3.0. Going to see if I can take her higher. Thanks for the advice bat...Waiting for a 2.8E, any info on set release dates?
