Hi --

On that one, you might do better by adjusting the FSB. I have a 233 @ 281 right now. It's been this way over a year and no heat problems and very stable.

Good luck.

Actually the multiplier is locked on Intels to prevent people from overclocking so that you go out and buy a new chip. Hopefully Brian or somebody good with OC'ing will post because I think they have charts or at least links to charts with good FSB speeds to use with what chip and what are typical OC speeds for certian chips. I know I had a link to one of those sites but I'm not even going to try looking through my favorites because that is just useless... sorry.

being as i'm flunking a+
i don't know fsb
it's cmos or onboard jumper

FSB- Front Side Bus

The frequency on yours is probably 66mhz with a 440 BX chipset.

You may be able to change it in the BIOS, but I doubt it. Therefore, you have to change it on the motherboard. Do you have the manual?

I too have a PIIMMX. I really want also to overclock the fsb, but don't know how

Hi, I'm a new member here, but egger to learn from any of you pro's out there...
I've recently o'clocked our Win98 Clone PII 350MHz 224mbs SDRAM machine. It's comfortably running at 434 MHz, I've added (2) 3 inch fans into the side of the case for added circulation and (2) 2 inch fans on the processor. I'd like to boost it higher, but it just won't go...
I recently found the install book for my MB, it's a SPACEWALKER Shuttle HOT - 661/P. In the book I've noticed that there's jumpers on the MainBoard, my question: Do I setup the jumpers first, then go into the onscreen Chipset Features, or what? Can anyone offer any help?

hey thanx all
this is kinda ironic my a+ book happened to ave an example digram of a p2 with the cpu and fsb slots
i reconfigured it with 4.5 multipler and 103mhz bus =448 cpu speed
as not to fry this thing is that gonna be ok?
i ran it for a couple hours and its ok so far

 

[piscian18]

sorry "jumpers" not "slots" don't wanna confuse anyone

on your board you should have one set of 3 jumpers and one of 4 one below the southbridge and one near your ram and n.bridge

should look like this if not ignore me
I III
II I

now make them look like this

I I I
I I II

please don't do this if you are not prepared to store an atx form factor paperwait near your destop

 

[piscian18]

ignore that just look up the spec on your board
argh
