overclocking a celeron D 2.4GHZ

boudi · Jan 5, 2006

i have a celeron D 2.4GHZ, stockfan and i need to know if anyone else has ever oc'd one.
please tell my how far I probably can go

thanks

I have a Celeron D 336 2.8Ghz I just overclocked today to 3.99Ghz. I am using Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 for LGA775 it's a rather inexpensive copper heatpipe HSF as I only paid $32 CAD. You will need an aftermarket HSF as the OEM unit is not ideal for O/Cing and it's very loud too.
FYI my FSB is @ 190Mhz and my CPU Vcore is 1.50V. Your results may vary from mine I am using Asus P5GD1 mobo.

I have a 478 mine's @ 3.675 Ghz with 1.4v. Stock cooler. It gets pretty hot but its stable, and thats what matters. I run thecpu heatsink fan at ~2000 to avoid loudness using speedfan. Its still stable @ 76c under load. Abit IS7 Mobo

Damn 76c is pretty hot. Mine is under 55c @ full load but then again I am using an aftermarket HSF.

Sounds too hot, have you tested it with prime95? Just because it doesn't seem to crash doesn't mean it's stable.

I have a Celeron D 335 2.8ghz and its running at 3.46ghz (that is the maximum overclock my motherboard allows). It idles at 50C and max load is 56C. I replaced the stock cooler with a completely copper $9 Thermaltake TR-2 M-12 off Newegg. The overclock gave me over a thousand extra 3DMarks and smoother framerates. Oh and its the socket 478...

"Sounds too hot, have you tested it with prime95? Just because it doesn't seem to crash doesn't mean it's stable."

Yes I have. please note "I run the stock heatsink fan at ~2000". and I do use arctic silver 5.

Hot or not. Its stable. It doesn't matter. This is a prescott base annyhow. The only difficulty I had was running a fortron 350w power supply caused hard disk failures. Antec 430w was rock solid.

I think his temps are within design specifications, they me a little on the hot side, but I don't think any catastrophic damage will occur. The life of the CPU will be decreased a little though but this is normal for any mechanical\electrical\biological system.

He's not using a very high vcore, so i'm surprised it's getting that hot to be honest. It's (barely) within maximum recommended temperature, but it wouldn't surprise me if thermal throttling is cutting in.

I'm uncomfortable with my Prescott running at 63c @ 4.36ghz, i'd crap myself if i ever saw the temps at 76c!

I usually try to keep the temps under 60 if possible, so i run at 3.85ghz, 1.28v for normal use, idle: 34c load: 48c

While running an instance of prime 95 on each core, download and install 'panopsys' throttlewatch' and keep an eye on that. If there's no throttling back, nice 1!

yes I agree ill lower the life time.. but then that pentium 100 i have in my closet is still in its life time and its junk wish. id burned that one up 8 years ago.

The computer is down right now (in pieces) so I won't get back to you right away on that. But I turned off thermal throttling in the bios. My main rig keeps me busy right now

AMD Opteron 170 @ 2.8 -1.55v (ccbwe 0548xpmw)
Zalman CNPS9500 LED (High: 68c under load)
Asrock 939Dual-SATA2 (OCWBios 1.50)
OCZ pc4000 EB 2x1Gb (255Mhz 3-3-2)
BFG OC 6600GT @ 560/1190
Soundblaster X-fi Fatal1ty FPS
Intel 1000 GT Pro NIC
Maxtor Diamondmax 10 ATA133 200GB
Plextor Premium CD burner
Some LG Multi DVD burner
Antec Sonata2 w/ 450W Smartpower
Klipsch Promedia THX 2.1 (160W RMS)
Razer Copperhead Anarchy Mouse

:eek:

Cool!!

I'll agree with ya that since the cpu life is already soo long, it's not really worth worrying about. I'll probably upgrade mine long before it fries anyway. I expect most people here do the same! :rolleyes:

Very nice second rig!

The temp sensor's in the motherboard? I thought the thermal diode was on the die. I guess it doesn't really matter
