A year ago I built a computer for school, but didn't have all that much money so I went for a celeron. Now that the waranty on the chip has expired, I was thinking of overclocking it. However, I'm kinda new to overclocking and don't know quite what to do. I was briefly showed a program called CPUz, but I'm not positive this is the correct program I need.
I am running a 2.8ghz celeron on a Soyo P4X400 motherboard. What I would like to do is over clock it to about 3-3.2 ghz and overclock the FSB from 400 mhz (100 quad pumped) to 533 or 800 (the motherboard claims it can take up to 533, but I also read that it can be overclocked to take 800 mhz).
I think what I need to keep in mind is voltage and cooling. Is there anything else I need to consider?
I'm running XP Pro if that makes a difference, a 9700 PRO all-in-wonder video card, and a 430 watt powersupply.
Any advice on this matter and how-to steps on overclocking this is greatly appreciated.
