Name: Cobra_R
Man, xbit labs overclocked a Celeron D 330 that normally runs at 2.66ghz to 3.8ghz and the gaming benchmarks are really impressive especially when it can hang with the P4
3.2ghz. The down side is, it just goes to show you how bad the lack Celeron D's especially when it comes to games if you have to overclock them 1200mhz faster just to hang with a p4 3.2ghz. processors.Link

Too bad I don't have extra cash laying around or else I would buy me a nice overclocking board and stick a Celeron D 3.ghz with a nice liquid cooler and some great overclocking ram and try to bump it up to 4ghz.
A Celeron is still a Celeron, no matter how much you overclock it. Clock speed isn't everything.
Hey, aren't you the guy who said he never overclocks?

with its lower cache the celeron is not a heavy appln CPU. Yes, and clock speed is not every thing
jam, hey! common, yes I know abt the other thread but well if he did overclock and gained something from it encourage him.
You are one of the most knowledgeable ppl here and sure cobra can benefit from your advice.
btw jam, how abt taking a look here:

Jam, I stated I would never overclock my systems that I use. I never said I wouldn't overclock for the fun of it, if I had an extra system to screw up for fun.

after all this discussion, do try and understand that IF you know what you are doing, and do it right, then you will not screw up anything. o/c is not a sin for which you and your CPU will burn in hell.

Hi Kailas,
I left a couple of comments for you at the other thread:

That isn't true kalis all the time. Just last year the screen savers tried to bump a 3ghz p4 to 4.2ghz with a top of the line liquid cooler and everything else and the p4 chip ended up burning out.

You cannot burn out a CPU by overclocking it...if you clock it too high, it simply won't boot.
You cannot burnout a P4 by overheating it...it has built-in thermal protection circuitry & will either underclock or shutdown completely.
The only way to "cook" a P4 is to overvolt it. And to reach 4.2Ghz with a 3Ghz CPU, a substantial voltage increase would be necessary. Apparently more voltage than the CPU could withstand.
To paraphrase what Kailas wrote: "IF you know what you are doing, and IF you do it right, you will NOT screw up anything"

That maybe true for intels but as for some AMD's you can burn them out.

The only way to burn out an amd cpu is to not properly seat it to the heatsink or not run a heatsink at all which is completely stupid anyways. you need substantial voltage increase and long term usage with no cooling at all, and you also need to turn off the feature in your bios which protects your cpu from overheating by shutting down the computer. so please unless your stupid enough to do all of this. dont talk about what you dont know :)

Don't talk about what who doesn't know????
Cause that link right there explaned how you can without doing what you just said. Either that link is wrong or you don't know the full extent about overclocking like you think you do.
Hey don't blame me i'm just telling you what that link says.

We were talking about Intel CPUs, not AMD...that's another story altogether.
Any AMD Athlon, AthlonXP, or Duron will fry in a matter of seconds without a heatsink installed. They have no built-in thermal protection. A P4 on the other hand will run without a heatsink...obviously, it's not recommended, but it can be done.
Overheating & overvolting are the two ways to kill a CPU. Simply raising the FSB will not damage a CPU in any way...it will either run, or it won't. If it doesn't run, or runs unstably, that's when raising the voltage comes into play, & that's when the risk of damage begins

tommycoolman posted this pic of a fried P3 in the hardware forum. P3's are NOT thermally protected:
