Is this cheapest way to 4ghz+ with Intel?
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!!
