I heard someone talking about this, can someone give me a rundown on it and
also it's risks? Thanks.

I have a p2 300mhz board.

Basically Tim it's changing some settings on the motherboard to make your cpu
run faster. You may be familiar with bus speed- ie the standard is 66 mhz, and
the multiplier of a pII is 4.5, so you get a 300 (297). By changing the bus
speed to 75,83,100 etc. or your multiplier 3.5,4,4.5 etc. you get different cpu
speeds. For example my abit mobo runs at 100 bus with a celeron 300 at a 4.5
multiplier so it actually runs at 450! Not bad for a $88 cpu. Not all
motherboards can be overclocked, you'll need to know exactly what brand and
model of mobo you have. A pII 300 can be run up to 400 or higher, the faster
you run it the more heat related problems you may encounter. Read more about it
or e:mail me.

Thanks, sounds risky though, will I fry my board?

I have an Intel Pentium II MMX 300mhz, how do I overclock it, a LITTLE! ??

I'm not good at fiddling with the motherboard, what do I look for?

The settings are normally found in the BIOS

Read your motherboard manual. Depend on the board they may either be jumper
settings (Asus and others) or they may be in the BIOS (Abit, AOpen, etc).
Your motherboard should have come with a manual which will include all the
settings for the variety of combinations its capable of. I do believ the
300 is running on a 66mhz bus and has its internal multiplier set to 4.5, so
you can try setting your FSB to 75, 83 or 100mhz and see what happens.

Check this out. Excellent guide.

Tim,

Start doing some research and a little legwork on overclocking. Toms
hardware, etc, Overclockers.com.
Go to your motherboard makers website and look at the specs on your
motherboard and see how you do it. DIP switches etc. you can OC that chip,
if its the right one to 504. week 40, Costa Rica...meybe, u have to look.
Reason i know, i have. All the info u need is out there.u have to find it.
Like here:

Tim,

I've been overclocking my PC's since a 486Dx4 100 (ran it at 120) . Next was
a P166 that ran at 188 and now a PII350 that runs quite merrily at 392.
Never killed anything.

First off dig out your motherboard manual & come back to us with what type
it is & what it says about "bus speed" settings & we will try & advise. As
someone indicated you are currently running at 66x4.5 - if you can up the 66
to say 75 then your PII 300 just became a PII 337.5 and you will see a
noticeable increase in performance. 99.99% of the time the PC either runs or
it doesn't . If it runs then Great, if not then you just step it back to
where it was & that's your lot. It IS possible to kill chips with this but
very very rare i.e. there is a risk as you'd expect - but its not huge.....

You may have an option to go to 83 and that might or might not work./..you
go a step at a time and run it for a while and see... SOmetimes the thing
will boot & run for 10 mins & then it gets too hot & crashes & won't boot
again till its cooled down a bit. If this happens you eiother step back to a
speed where it will run or look at extra cooling (fans/heatsinks etc) to
keep the thing running cooler....

hope all that helps

rgds,

Iain

HEY! I am not the proud owner of a faster PC! I found the settings in the
BIOS menu's :o)))

Thankyou for all your help guys.

Just make sure the CPU has good ventilation to extract the extra heat.

Ars Technica: The PC enthusiast's resource

Check the Forum and the FAQ for really good info. I''ve got a Celery 300
running at 464MHz and I'll have it at 504 as soon as I get my new fans. :)
The cost of the CPU, Mobo and mem sticks was exactly $3 cheaper than JUST aa
PII 450MHz CPU ONLY!
