Cel600 at 1 Gig

[wizard9171]

Hi all. Well I would just like to say hat im running my celery 600 at 1 Gig now thanks to a new motherboard. I have been using the abit bx6rev2 for over a year now and this chip just would not do 1 gig. Bought a asus cusl2 MB and now its running at 1.008 Gig. system specs as follows
asus cusl2 with 512 meg pc133 ram
40 wd gig ata100 7200 rpm
15 wd gig ata66 5400 rpm
celeron 600 @ 1 Gig vcore at 1.95v
voodoo5 5500 video
yamaha xg-192 sound
3comm 10/100 meg bits nic home lan
kinston 10 megbits nic with dsl
replaced the goldenorb with alphapal 6035 with delta fan. This thing rocks now and its solid. been running now for 2 days. yesssssss Im there............

Did I miss it,, what is the FSB speed ?

nice o/c

Got my 600@990 on a BE6 1.9V 110FSB, L2 wide open but, error check enabled. Really stable.
Might try for more but, will have to open the case and set jumpers so I can get 2 volts.

Hi all. the FSB is set at 112 MHZ. caslat in ram is set to 2. vcore is set to 1.95

arn,
error check enabled?

Yes, under Bios Features Setup there is 'CPU L2 Chache EEC checking. I supposed is was error checking. Anyway I haven't had a game or program crash since I enabled it.

Well done Wizard.
I too have had extreme success with this motherboard. The ASUS CUSL2-C (based on the 815EP chipset - no audio or video on-board) is the one I am using with a Celeron 700 running at 1092MHz. Like I have previously mentioned on my post "1Gig Celeron..."
http://www.sysopt.com/forum/Forum3/HTML/010614.html .

I had to run the voltage up to 2.0 volts but it seems to be fairly happy. I couldn't get the CPU to post at 105MHz though (even with 2.0 Volts).

I run a coolermaster HSF (just grabbed whatever model they had) and the only problem I have at the moment is trusting the temperature readings which vary massively depending on what program you use to read it. The CMOS temp runs up to 47C - which is the Intel prefered maximum for a Celeron - but other software based temp readings are anywhere from 16C to 41C.

I don't even look at my temp any more because I can't trust what the gauge says.

I can definately see and feel (not to mention the benchmark results that prove it) the speed increase from 700 to 1092MHz and Sisoft even suggests that I perform better than a PIII 1GHz and all the Athlons and even a better MIPS reading than a P4 1.4 - but I doubt it.

I also love the extra effects that are visible when the CPU has enough grunt to render them in some games. For example, Midtown Madness now shows far more complex car movements (such as wild flipping roll overs) not to mention the extra sparks and reflections etc.

And besides, at the price of Celerons compared to the Big PIII's and P4's you can't really argue.

It's like getting a free Supercharger for your car.

600@1,000 is a neat trick though.

Great O/C, but you can pitch that Yamaha sound card since you won't hear anything over the "Chopper Blades" of that Delta fan!!! LOL, just kidding great job!!
