Overclocking on an Aopen AX6BC ??

[SpazEd]

I would like to get other peoples opinions on overclocking on an Aopen AX6BC. Obviously the fact that it is difficult to set voltage is a problem, but I'm not sure if running with a 100 Mhz FSB will require and tampering with the CPU or Socket (A celeron, or course). I would also like to now about the 'overclockability' of a Celeron 333a(Boxed);

Product Code: BX80524R333128SL2WN EAN
Barcode: 5 032037 00697 MM#822098
Version #: 734620-001 2.OV
UPC Barcode: 7 35858 11885
FPO/Batch#: 98501567

Any help would be good...

PS Are there any problems that arise when overclocking and using an AGP VGA card?

ok first of all, aopen motherboards are the pimp **** for overclocking...as an example i have my k6-2 300 with 66 mhz bus running at 412 mhz..with 75 mhz bus, and on my frined's comp with diff mobo i coulkd only get to 333. then, the 333a is also the pimp **** for overclocking...another friend of mine has it running at 550 mhz with thermal paste and 2.2 volts.

I've been running a Celeron 400 at 83MHz for 12 months now with an AOPEN PA3010 TNT2 video card (has its own fan). No problems at all until recently, when the memory chip on the video card failed. (Although,that may have something to do with the fact that one of the circuits in my monitor shorted out). It's true, the AX6B series is pretty tame for overclocking, but it's less likely to cause damage to pci cards. One interesting effect to note: since I first overclocked my C400, the AX6BC has gradually increased the core voltage from 1.6V to 2.0V

Yes I have the AX6BC Ver2.2 (flashed to 2.55), 333 Cel, and tnt vid card. I was only able to set fsb to 66 or 100Mhz. The freqs inbetween would cause win to crash then I would lose my h/d info each time. One day I decided to give it one more try (or fry the chip to give myself an excuse to buy a faster cpu) and set it for 100MHz - no probs. It ran cool at 66 and luke warm at 100. I could only just tell the difference although I have plenty of space in my case and ok airflow (still standard though). I'm happy enough with the new 500MHz to not try any higher fsb. I've mentioned in a few replies & still believe my small success is contributed to keeping the fsb at multiples of 33MHz. I have no idea on the AX6BC and later celerons. The 100MHz has worked on all the bios flashes.
