Nothing special, because from my motherboard can not change cpu voltage and after 217 Mhz bus speed the bios tell me that i need to reduce bus speed and the PC won't boot. I will test this night on orthos on small FTTs, priority 9.

I got it running stable at 3.0GHz, it ran an Everest stability test all night and didn't fail.

It Bluescreened on 3.2GHz this morning so I've increased the Voltage a little bit. How high can I/should I take the voltage on this thing?

Voltage is currently at 1.4v

i must be the only person on neowin slumming it with a single core celeron. :D

but a 100% overclock isn't too shabby and it's capable of running 64bit windows so it's a good enough stop gap until i get something better.

4GHz+ is completely possible but I need PC8500 memory for this as my GSkill in 8GB config does not like running at it's EPP mode of 1GHz.

    • So.... slower fixes and slower security updates are preferred? I mean, there is no goldilocks zone here until it can literally update without ever needing a restart, and even then I'm sure someone would complain.
