Is this cheapest way to 4ghz+ with Intel?

[pcworks]

I got fed up of the wife always using my AMD 64 3000 winnie PC for her browsing and storing of her music!(45gigs so far!!!). So I decided to build her a little pc she could run off the TV. I had a 56xcdrom, 256mb Twinmos PC3200, an 5 year old 10gig Western ATA66 hard drive, £15 case inc a 350watt psu and a Radeon 9550 excalibur 256mb vid card stuck up stairs in my back bedroom doing nothing. So I headed out to my local pc shop in Hull to pick up a mobo and a cpu. For £104 I got a Celeron 330J 2.66ghz cpu and an Asus P5p800 intel socket 775 board. I thought this would be a rock solid base for a stable pc for her.
Put it all together and it worked perfectly. I saw the bios had a few decent overclocking options and decided just too have a little tweak.

Woot!! do these Celerons Js clock high and cool!! Best have had is 4.2ghz at 210mhz x 20multi with ram at 1:1!! at Stock 1.4v in the bios using stock Intel cooler.
After a little testing using Prime 95 and 3dmark2001se this little beauty is stable at 4.04ghz .

I can do banzai runs at 4.2ghz but it isn't 3d stable. I think the board overvolts a bit but she runs very cool!!

Nice! The celeron cpu's is nice to oc with.

My brother had allso a celeron but dosent want to oc much. this is a 2.93ghz it wont run stabel at 3.1ghz :( and he had watercooling on he's cpu

Sry my bad english

[ImMorT4L]

Nice basic O/Cing... With stock cooling :slobber:

Celeron is allways the best since my Celeron A 366@ 580Mhz :D

[ingentingmendeg]

wow dude, that is in insane OC *drools* :slobber:

[krampak]

Any screenshot of that 4.2Ghz stock vcore? :slobber:

[pcworks]

Will do some more banzai screenies.

However, a Sempron would easily beat a Celeron D and they're usually same price. As for Celeron vs Normal P4s, a 3.8Ghz Celeron D almost comes close to a stock 3.2Ghz P4 :rolleyes:

This morning I couldn't bench at 4.2ghz, I could get into windows but it wasn't stable enough to bench.

Just rebooted the pc and went upto 4.2ghz (has been running all day1) and benched Sandra 2005 cpu bench with no probs at all.

Will post up the stepping and pack dates shortly.

info from side of packaging.

Pretty new silicon and it rocks. Maybe able to push this higher on stock cooler!!

It's a bit like overclocking a Duron to 3ghz, it sounds fast but it isn't really.

[Jupiler]

Doesn't matter if it's fast or not, it's still a nice accomplishment, which should be rewarded with some gratitude, instead of remarks like this.

please dont thread crap.

[kryptobs2000]

he wasn't thread crapping, he didn't even put the guy down, and hell this pc is for his wife lol. She WON'T be dissapointed I don't think. It is a good overclock though, gratz and on stock cooler at that. :toast:

[sabrewolf732]

very nice :clap: you beat my sempron 3100 by a little in cpu arith. NB at all. Good job.

Sure it's nice, I didn't mean to put him down.

It's a nice overclock mate, but I think you knew that ;)

[CrazyXP1700]

yeah... good job on the OC man... ofcourse if you wanted to spend a little more... you could get 1Mb L2 cache, and still not have hyperthreading... but still get good clocks (a little more cpu performance im sure (30sec SPI at 4.3ghz))

gotta love these cpus huh

[sabrewolf732]

http://www.x3lda.com/lmsdfts/yayage.JPG
that is the best I can do on this board. budget cpu's are badass :banana: :woot:

[pcworks]

Crazy xp1700, what cooling are you using on that Pentium 4 505 2.66ghz cpu. Saw one for sale OEM for £90 in the UK was very tempted.......

Rob H

[death metal]

Nice clockage (if that's even a word ;))...

[Disposibleteen]

nice clocks, the 256kb of L2 really holds these celerons back though, im sitting here temperearily with a 2.4 Celeron D that clocks comfortably at 3.6GHz witha Zalman 7700 ALCU, of course mines a 478 though.

[jkabaseball]

Here's mine! Its a 2.4 so its even cheaper. Mine was $71 shipped from Newegg. The E0 stepping is a lot better.

http://www.devhardware.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1112&stc=1

This stable, but anything over 225 it won't boot. Can't give it any more volts.

[Disposibleteen]

what cooling are you using on that thing?

Edit- And why isnt it reading the volts?

[Kunaak]

I just think the funniest thing I heard recently was...

your wife has 45 gigs of music, so you give her a 5 year old, slow 10 gig hard drive, hahah....

[perkam]

The E0 stepping is a lot better.

All 775 Celeron Ds are E0s ;)

[lutjens]

The new Celerons are good clockers and this confirms it. It does figure, however, considering they have much fewer transistors that need to make the grade at high clocks, increasing the odds of a good overclock.

What intrigues me is the fact that they're running significantly cooler than their Prescott cousins with the full 1 MB of L2. Maybe Prescott's heat problems lie in the cache...

It's all moot point though...even at 4.0GHz, they're still lackluster in terms of performance, and with their high multiplier, it's difficult to try to make up for the poor performance with FSB. Performance-wise, a good 3.0GHz or 3.2GHz E0 Prescott might not clock quite as high, but will wallop the Celeron even at a lower clock.

My $0.02...:)

i'd rephrase that and say It's a bit like a P4 at 3ghz, it sounds fast but it isn't really :p:

[Disposibleteen]

yes but you can buy a P4 stock at 3ghz and everyone knows that 3ghz P4s arent fast anymore.

i am on a Asetek waterchill watercooling kit (4.3ghz 24/7)... i had the cpu up to 4.1ghz stable on a Arctic Cooling Silencer 7 heatsink... with a modded 90mm fan on there (probably 80cfm...)

my voltage is 1.58v in bios... but it drops to 1.51v load... (waiting to droop mod and OC farther :D)

[jkabaseball]

mine is 478. I don't know why it doesn't pick up the volts. I have it way over recommened, something like 1.65. Its on water with a 120mm fan blowing over the mosfets and HSed. everything is still a little tosty.

[Disposibleteen]

CPUZ read my volts when i had them at 1.7 on my northwood 3GHz 478.

She is buying herself a 200gig Seagate drive when she gets paid. The 10gig drive is just a spare I use to test pcs with and dump data onto when doing re-installs for people.

[ibby]

impressive

[ppaassssaa]

Nice =)
Any plan to change your CPU cooler and get over 4500 Mhz ?? =P

[pcworks]

Tried to go for 4.3ghz tonight, posted but could get the ide hard drive to load windows. Upped the voltage and just made more heat. Probably would go a good bit higher with quality cooling. But as the pc is just for the wife to play with the cooling will have to stay as it is. I am presently running at 3.6ghz as my 24/7 speed, this will do for her needs.

Rob H

[ingentingmendeg]

i say just leave it where its safe/ but still dude. 4ghz is such a hella nice OC for a Celeron. :banana:

[RAndomaN]

now on a celeron if you could get it to 4Ghz... just for a laugh, id like someone to stick one under a three stage cascade just for :banana::banana::banana::banana:s and giggles lol

[ozziegn]

here's what my latest 3.0 530J is running on quiet air cooling.

http://mywebpages.comcast.net/ozziegn1/prescott_CPU_shot2.jpg

-not bad for a $178 processor, ehh?

[i found nemo]

2610 mhz, almost 1.7+ volts

[Lestat HWL]

Pretty good for a Celeron...4GHz Celeron = 3GHz P4 or so? Either way, great job!

[jkabaseball]

my 4 GHz Celeron = 3.3 P4c. Sadly my P4 doesn't OC above 3.3 (had it to 3.7) I bent some pins, works, but it just aint the same anymore.

[i found nemo]

bend 'em back

How fast are these 4Ghz celerons @ SuperPi[1M] ?

I'm thinking of buying one of these to build a server to be 24/7 ON :clap:
