I have a abit va6 mobo with 384mb of pc133 ram, i have the cpu in a slocket converter and i can up the volts to it from my bios but i cant get it to oc at all.whats up? is this the wrong cpu to oc?or is there a mod i have to do to the cpu to get it to oc?

Really, wow..........I've never heard of a SLocket converter before. ;)

Just jokes man. Seriously though, are you just trying to overclock it for fun??? 'Cus no matter what you do, it'll still be a celeron, and will still suck. I'm not bashing you or anything, that's just how it is. ;)
 
slocket is the name for the socket 370 to slot 1 converter,thats the way its spelled on the box.I want to oc it just to add a lil more on the fsb would like to go to 133mhz.

They're commonly referred to as slockets, man ;P

Slot -> socket = slocket

Older celerons were very worth the money, unlike the crippled celerons we have today... That's why the 300a was such a popular chip to have, it was cheap and the performance was great, and people easily got them up to 450 mhz (66 -> 100 mhz fsb)

Heh, what a funny name..........slocket slocket slocket. ;)

I can understand your want to overclock it but look at it realistically, it probly isn't worth the trouble of figuring it out. Not for a 500MHz chip.

I know that doesn't sound very [H]ard.....but I'm trying to be practicle. If you find a way to get it to work then, all the power to ya. I'm just saying that it might not be worth getting frustrated over if it's gonna take to long to figure out.

And you call yourself an enthusiast? :rolleyes:
 
You have to change it with the jumpers on the cpu card. What combination of jumpers gives you what results should be in your CPU manual, or you could google for it (although i doubt you'd find anything).
 
Best thing to do is use something like "Slocket Overclocking" in a Google search. I got quite a few hits with that. There is an article at Anandtech for the Iwill slocket and others are still up. It's only been a few years so they will still be around.

Gee, maybe I should get on a few of these articles.....as there're still a few things that were "before my time" that I never really had to learn or understand. ;)

It's kind of embarassing really. :(

Yeah, I don't really have any problem admitting my faults.....especially if it's something that I can't really "fake" or cover up. ;)

But yeah, enough of me.....I've hijacked enough threads in the last couple days. :p

Best of luck to ya silentnight3985. :cool:
 
WoW look at the replys,on my card i can jumper it for 66,100,133mhz fsb and with all the cpu voltage jumpers off i can change the cpu volts from my bios,problem is i cant get it to show a change in the cpu speed, it says "cpu changed or not working right,F1 to continue or delete to enter bios,if i continue it still runs @500mhz with no fsb change and if i go back to the cpu soft setting in the bios it has changed the cpu setting to a verry low 233@66mhz fsb.what the fuck is with this cpu? it passed all bench test and did its burn in just fine.I have a 733mhz celeron here in a oem box.do u think it would be worth my while to try and oc it or should i get a PIII and oc the shit out of it?

Personally I'd be much happier with the Pentium III but I can see and respect the challenge that lies within that Celeron. :cool:
 
Yes i have done it! i found out that when u put a 500mhz celeron on a 15ton pressing plate that u get a verry funky looking wafer :D ,smashed the 500 and put the 733 in,i got it to oc to 1.3ghz b4 i gave up on rebooting it every time i made a change to the speed.

You'd be surprised what an agry guy and a sledge can accomplish. ;)
 
LMFAO!! well then ill tell u what,If u can hammer out 50billet alum 4.500" conecting rods and the matching billet piston to go with it for a open class briggs race kart engine then i have a job for u.


here is some of the work u will be doing :cool:

You got a 733mhz P3 to OC to 1.3ghz? On the same slocket that held the celeron 500?

I ask because the cel 500 is the katmai core, while the 733 is the coppermine core, and it would surprise me to find a slocket card that supported both CPU's. To be honest it would also surprise me to find a coppermine p3 that ran at 1.3ghz on air cooling, or most forms of cooling at all :).

Hmm, I think I've finally found something that I CAN'T do.....;) :p

JK :cool:
 
Yes i have a i will II slocket and a powerleap coppermine to ppga\fc-pga converter on it as well,Well hell man i really wanted some one to make the rods for me(it takes a long time to make just 1 rod and i wont even say how long it takes to make the piston :D ,as for cooling i have np with heat so far,running a hs i machined and i have a cpu temp of 36*c not that hot to me.

Celeron 500 is almost certainly a mendocino celeron (there were either limited or no 500MHz coppermine celerons IIRC, 533 seems to be the first step). Now, pretty much every slocket made to support cumine chips also supported the older ones as well. Biggest diff being that new ones had voltage regulation to lower the voltage for older motherboards.

and as far as a 733 hitting 1.3, well thats quite nearly absurd :)

500 celeron typically hit the ceiling at around 630MHz on air, the process just wasn't good enough for higher frequencies in 99% of cases, though some extreme cooling has gotten them to around 750.

If your slocket only supports 66,100, and 133, you can practically rule out any chance of overclocking at all. 100 would be a blistering 750, and 133 well lets not go there.

Funny how nowadays there are more and more 100% overclocks popping up all over the place. It really makes you thankfull for what we've got to work with nowadays. :p
 
Ok i got it figured out,the el cheapo software i was using was telling me what my mobo would suport NOT what my cpuwas running at,my bios will let me go to 3.10V and up the fsb to 150mhz.my current cpu speed is only 733mhz still :( im gona try raising the fsb to 100mhz tomorrow and see how that goes.



Im thinking i should stick to building mini choppers and racing motors,Me wanting to get into computers has proven its self to be a bitch when asking a few questions and wanting a few simple answers,some of the good guys gave me what i was asking for and more and then on some of the stuff i have asked i just got shit on for asking a dumb question.Im not a pro at this stuff and i dont clame to be,im a machinest,engine builder,welder,mini chopper builder,and a verry small time web host.I dont do this pc stuff every day but i do love my computers verry much there for i would like to start out with junk computers that i can dump $30 or $60 in and if i break them then i know what not to do next time and im not at any loss.Maby some day ill be [H]ard [C]ore but for now ill ask as much as i can to learn as much as i can:cool: Peace guys my ass is going to bed.
 
Ohh and just for the hell of it, this oc project is not for a main rig or any thing special,its just a toy to see how far i can take it.My servers and personal rigs blow this lil guy out of the water,all i was after when i started this post was to find out IF i could oc the lil 500 mendocino.I was told by the intown pc guy that the die lock on this cpu was 500mhz 66mhz fsb,im guessing that he was wrong about this from one of the replys i got.

There's always people like that, just give us a call. You'll typically ALWAYS find your answer around here, one way or another. We're all good with/at SOMETHING around here, it's just finding the RIGHT guy that's the trick. ;)
 
i highly doubt youll get to 100mhz fsb with that. around 600mhz is about right for those celerons, i had a celeron 433@590.

i got a could of project overclocks too :p i got this bad ass p2 400 running at 533 in my basement right now, and i had a p2 350 that ran at 542 but i was limited by my motherboard.
 
I have a PII400\100mhz fsb what should i start out with for ocing it? numbers on it are as goes 400\512PE SL2U6
 
if it were my cpu, and depending on what cooling i had on it id up the vcore straight to 2.2v and just start upping the fsb in whatever increments your motherboard allows. do about an hour or so prime95 on it and if it passes bump it up. then when you find an unstable setting take it down a notch and run more expensive stability test
 
Ill try that later on tonight, for now i have a AMD 2200+ TB cpu never ran for trade on a PIII socket 370 1ghz or better.Any one have one they want to get rid of?
 
the 500's and 533's were never known to be good overclockers..
mediocre couldn't even describe it either..
83mhz was the max I could ever get out of the fsb on mine, on any board, dual or single cpu..
