Solve : Overclocking a Coppermine-128 Celeron from 566MHz to 850MHz? |
|
Answer» I was reading the Wikipedia "Celeron" article when i came across this: However some benefit on performance could be GAINED through overclocking, by operating the Coppermine-128 CPUs with a 100 MHz FSB. Overclocking a 566 MHz Celeron to 850 MHz or a 600 MHz to 900 MHz gave the best results, since these systems usually proved stable without the requirement of additional cooling or overvolting.That interested me, and since i have a 566MHz Celeron in my desktop (an eMachines eTower 566i2), i wanted to try this. So, i opened the case and figured out what model the motherboard is (it's a TriGem Cognac), and i found a manual for it. However, the manual says this: Quote 1-1. Selection for Processor CPU ClockDoes this mean i can't manually change the FSB speed from 66 to 100MHz? Any insight would be very appreciated! -JohnWith a name like Tri-Gem Cognac i would venture to say they didn't include any overclocking utilitiy on that MBoard...what does their website say ? ?Quote from: patio on April 20, 2007, 01:16:06 PM With a name like Tri-Gem Cognac i would venture to say they didn't include any overclocking utilitiy on that MBoard...what does their website say ? ?Their website is in Korean...LMAO **************************** ******CRICKETS************** **************************** **************************** So,JohnK are you dealing with an old HP,or E-machine? ROTFLMAO ,Honvetops just said"Crickets" COL! That interested me, and since i have a 566MHz Celeron in my desktop (an eMachines eTower 566i2)Computer has been going strong for seven years now by pauljasonh ,Feb 22 '07 Pros: long lasting Cons: can't upgrade anymore I bought this computer in 2000. It had 32mb ram, 566mhz celeron, and 7gb hard drive. It has since been upgraded to 512mb ram, 1.1ghz celeron, and 40gb hdd with a tv tuner card added as well as an ethernet adapter and a 256mb graphics PCI card. I'm pretty confident this is the max, but the computer has done excellent over the years. the above post was talking about your same emachine ^ seems like a useful PUTER, maybe SAVE for awhile and make an upgrade OR there's ALWAYS the rummaging around schools, old businesses , junk yards << like I do ... and look for old puters, possibly could find a compatible mobo or at least some useful sticks of ram?
