chance of getting 2x366Mhz Celerons to work @550Mhz

[Thrakath]

Hi! Just got two 500Mhz Cellis working together (now) in my recapped and ec10 modded ver 1.0 bp6 board.
How big is the chance of buying two 366Mhz celerons on ebay and letting them work at 550 and 100Mhz FSB?
the 500 ones dont overclock to 750mhz. that would have been a big surprise . i dont like to raise pci and agp bus...had bad experiences in my pc life...

thx Tobi

Your chances should be pretty good. the 366's in general OC quite well. Of course it's never a sure thing. Each CPU is different and a few just won't make it.

yup. Exceletn chance. Make sure you put greese under the "greenie and a fan on top of it.

Also make sure you are using PC-100 or PC-133 ram. You may need to start at 2.1 volts on the cpus but avter a few hours you can probably drop that back. Many of us are running dual 366@550 at 1.9v or less.

But don't be too sure though. My current BP6 won't do my 366's at 550, but they are stable at 523MHz (95MHz fsb). I know that other members here have seen the exact same thing. 523MHz is pretty good though. I have made some tests to see how they compare. The problem here seems to be my board and not my CPU's. I did once have them running at 550MHz on another BP6 without issues.

And what about 400@600Mhz? Succesful stories? these ones are also very cheap at ebay!maybe i get some of these in 10 pcs package and test em out...is the voltage regulator mod then necessary or is the ec10 mod enough for stable 100Mhz FSB?

Kinda doubt it on the 400's although you might get lucky!

I'm writting this on a modified BP6 (EC10, VVT, cut traces, changed out regulators, etc.) with the largest coolers that fit on the board (GlobalWIN FEP32's) as well as a Peltier on the BX.

I've run matched and lapped sets of: 366's, 400's, 433's, 466's and 500's and guess what? Best to-date are my present 366's!

I'm running my 366's stable @ 104 FSB (572 Mhz), will go 594 and boot into windowz (some times ) at 605!

Configuration is as follows:
BP6 Ver .41 with modified RU BIOS
dual 366's @ 104 FSB
768 meg PC133 SDRAM
HPT with 1.22 BIOS and 1.28 drivers
WIN2K, SP4/WIN98SE dual-boot
20 gig, 7200rpm WD HDD on channel 3
60 gig, 7200rpm Maxtor on channel 4
PNY FX5000 dual head vid card (AGP)
WinTV GO! in PCI 1
Chaintek 7.1 sound card in PCI 2
Generic Firewire card in PCI 3 (shares IRQ with HPT366 controller)
Adaptec SCSII card for Microtek scanner in PCI 4
generic ISA NIC in ISA 2
dual power supplies: 300watt just for mobo and 450 for everything else
Lite-on 52X24X52 'burner
Sony DVD-r/RAM burner
Pioneer S104 DVD-ROM
Kenwood Multi beam 52X TrueX CD-ROM
external 56K V.92 USB modem
dual ViewSonic 21" Graphic Series monitors
Microtec X6EL scanner
HP LaserJet 5L printer
Canon i900D photo printer (USB)
Cambridge DTT2500 surround system connected to a wireless audio system that puts surround sound out to the gazebo with hot tub on the deck behind the house (need to add flat pannel tv in there )

The rest is all video related (multiple set top DVD and studio vcrs and tv monitors).

Whew! forgot I had all this stuff !

Maybe she has too much makeup?
