Hello. I am about to take a journey into the wonderful world of overclocking a celeron d. I was curious if anyone has tried this and if there is anything anyone would like to recommend. I am just looking to get a gage of others expierences. There does not seem to be a lot of people doing it. ...
you want to OC it, but your sig suggests you already have??? try the official OC thread sticky at the top of this forum topic...\ http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/83263
2.4 to 3.2 might be pusing it a little.. i would never reccomend overclocking, but I have over clocked a few myself, and the best advise I can give is in one word "COOL" in other words keep it as cool as possible by using some high quality fans on the processor and in your box
Maybe I should rephrase and explain a little more. I have a celeron (non D)right now. I want to try overclocking a new celeron d 3.06 that uses a prescott core. I here they run very hot. The celeron I have now is northwood, it runs at 3.2 and only max's out at 46c when fully pressed. All i have on it is one case fan and the intel original fan and some arctic silver 5. Anyone overclock the new cel d should have been my question. I know you don't like overclocking bbmayo...but for 60.00 bucks... i have a processor that can take on benchmarkwise an athlon 3200 xp.
I don't know about that...you may be able to OC it to a higher speed, but for overall performance I find it hard to beleive that a celeron can compare to an athlonXP 3200
Yep it is according to sysoft sandra. Basically the northwood chip is very cool and easy to overclock. I just took the fsb from 100 to 133 in the motherboard and ajusted the cpu vcore a little. Some arctic silver 5 and bam...all set. Its very fast and very stable. Overclocking is all depenedent on 2 things, temperature and the motherboard. The motherboard is the king maker becuase it has to allow you to make multiple ajustments. Asus tends to allow the most ajustments.
