kdisc98 · Oct 23, 2002, 07:21 AM

Hey,
here some info on my computer:

and...

and last one:

anyone is willing to help me understand how i can do it...with what software hardware..

please..
Thanks in advance

First - 133 FSB... I really doubt it can go further without really good OC-ing RAM.
Second - locked multiplier - It can't be changed.
Third - PIII CuMine 1Ghz - last of CuMine series - it can't go further.

Better don't try anything, it is pointless.

Well, if you still want to try, check out the BIOS - raise the multiplier and here you go.
But improvement you will get will be very low.

I agree anything thats going to overclock that is most likely going to blow it fairly quickly...

Raising the multiplier won't do anything, it's factory locked and you will probably see a grayed box - like I do.

However, your chance lies in RAM. Check my sig - the RAM is PQI (whatever company that is) and works fine at 146 MHz. It could probably go further, because I think it's the mobo (PCI or AGP) that dies on me at that FSB (I went for 4:3:1 and it still dies at 146, xp doesn't even start). The theoretical 1200 MHz in PC Probe comes probably from the maximum FSB of the mobo (would be 160 if I am correct).

I oc by 10% and get some 1-2 °C more, so cooling shouldn't be a problem (but I do have a big cooler). I didn't even need to raise the vcore, it's 1.6 (lower than nominal!).

If all this sounds chinese to you, go to google, search for 'overclocking guide', read first 20 results. It is risky! - but you probably won't get to the point where you need to raise the proc voltage (unless you have a 5:4:1 divider).

Well having a 1gig before my recent upgrade .

I couldnt get it to go above 1051.

It simply wouldnt boot if i tried to .

I cant remember the fsb that i was using though.

Haha! You only have 256KB of ROM! Dork!

sorry, just felt weird...don't take me seriously, I'm high

Oh come on, reno, you don't have to be like that just because his 1GHz P3 isn't that much slower than your P4.

Man, I have TWICE the ROM that guy has. He has no chance against 512KB worth of BIOS...beehotch.

Cheater! Your sig said 1066

oc FSB = orig FSB * ocspeed/origspeed

133*1051/1000=139.783 (140 MHZ)
133*1066/1000=141.778 (142 MHz)

Overclocking could harm your system, you have be prepared to that.

WCPUID tells that you have a 1 GHz, 133 FSB, 0686 stepping processor, which leads you to the SL4MF processor specification (or the SL4C8, which is identical as much as we are concerned).

As you can see, you have a 1.7V nominal vcore and a max. 70 °C junction temperature. Set the processor temperature alarm to 10 - 15 °C below that (meaning 55 - 60 °C, I would make that 55). Refer to your mobo manual - ASUS keeps them in ftp , which I cannot access.

The point is raising the FSB (BIOS setting) 1MHz at a time until your system becomes unstable (set FSB, boot, play around, see if weird things happen, restart, change FSB etc.). The memory and PCI speed will also rise and something else than the processor will fail. Most probably you won't get to raise the vcore - I have a nominal vcore of 1.75 V, and get 878 MHz (from 800 nominal) at 1.6V... The processor temperature will also rise, so be careful.

Here's some links:

arstechnica guides, the RAM guide is comprehensive and almost up to date (although technical) and you have some overclocking guide. But you might improve the performance of your system by tweaking RAM settings rather than ocing.

The Definitive BIOS Optimization Guide is a must.

Good luck

I think it was 140 and NO i never had a sig with 1066...why would i lie??
But on an asus board it went up to 106x that a buddy let me try once.

You should be able to boost the fsb to 148 Max.
I got my 933 going to 1.03 ghz.
Try it!

Kelsenellenelvian · Nov 11, 2002, 12:13 AM

KABOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't expect much out of your overclock -- not even Intel could manage a 1GHz+ CuMine. I'd be truly impressed if you hit 1.1GHz.

arkan351 · Nov 23, 2002, 01:51 PM

whats up with all the negativity? some of you seem to froget that intel had released that same chip at 1.13 ghz but recalled due to extremely low yeilds and some other problems. just keep the cooling adequet, make sure your power supply is up to the task and see where u can go with it. i once got a 166 pentium to run at 300 mhz. if i had a dollar for every person who told me it was impossible i coulda bought another computer lol

The chip is just a crap clocker, used to hang round alt news's abit/amd/overclocking at about the time they came out...most ppl overclocking sold the chip thru auctions & moved on...The 1.13 was quickly recalled(very embrassed Intel lol) when they discovered it couldn't compile a linux kernel without crashing, the yield wasn't too bad!

You might be better off modding a tutalin & drop that into your board if you want to overclock, better chance & better peformance for not alot of money. Look at the threads for more info & google! lol

I miss my Abit BE6 v2 r2 with PIII 700 @933 with Gorb..it was such an easy clock!

The 1.13GHz CuMine Pentium wasn't recalled because of bad yields -- it was recalled because it was defective.

But, no, seriously, I am not a negative guy, but I try to be a straight shooter. And if someone asks me "how do I overclock my 1GHz Pentium III?" my answer, unfortunately, is "not very well."

There are PIII-1100E chips out there, all in SECC2 packaging I believe. Maybe the larger heatsinks on the SECC2 catridges let them run cooler then the FC-PGA PIII-1133EB version. The PIII-1100Es are OEM and much sought after in the SMP world. Every so often they pop up on Ebay as 2nd hand pulls.

Best way to o/c a PIII-1000? IMHO replace it with a Tualeron 1.2 in an UpgradeWare adapter (which should do 1.6 if not 1.7).

[edit] In fairness I should add that some people have gotten cD0 PIII-1000s up to 1200 with good cooling so it's not impossible to o/c them, just hard. Just because intel couldn't make them work doesn't mean they won't do it. They didn't release a Tualeron 1.7 (nor 1.6, nor 1.5) but mine runs fine at 1740.
