Very much like my C3 too. Guess it's bcoz d core limitation. Ours based on d ori. rel. core aka Samuel which max. out @ ~700MHz. Due 2 their low production output (as compared 2 Intel & AMD) & heavy speed binning, we can't expect anything more >20% o/c.

sniper-on-the-roof managed 2 o/cked fantastically well (a whooping 50% ) owing 2 it's newer Nehemiah core!!! :jealous:

Why not?
It all depends whether yr mobo support o/cking option(s), if any.
Some boards AUTO detects yr FSB & doesn't allow u 2 budge even a MHz.
2nd_ly, if yr P3 is 800E (100FSB) instead of 800EB (133FSB), then it would be much easier.

DISCLAIMER: I wun be responsible 4 any boom. O/c @ yr own risk. Remember 2 backup all data prior 2 doing so esp. 4 noobs. as o/cking may lead 2 data corruption & h/w damage/failure! Dun say I didnt warning, ya!

What u need 2 do basically is:-
1) Up yr VCORE (CPU voltage) eg. 1.7v -> 1.75v+ (if necessary)
2) Up yr FSB slowly from say 133MHz -> 138MHz (depends what's d nx FSB available)

Advancely:-
3) U may need 2 lower yr RAM speed/timing & up yr VDIMM (RAM / I/O voltage)
4) Change yr HSF / fan extreme o/c. :lol


If u need more specific help, open another thread & PM me as we r cybersquatting on other ppl's thread. Gather info. like yr CPU speed/type, mobo (brand/model), RAM (brand/model/type) etc.
