Can I Overclock??

[TomOfNYC]

Hi! Can someone tell me where to get a program to tell me what clock speed my processors are running at, please..

Mobo: Tyan Tiger 133 Rev B
Processors: Two PIII Katami 533EB
Memory: 128 Kingston PC133
Video: Creative Anil GForce MX 32Mb
Sound: Creative SB Live
HD: WD 20.5 Gb 7200 RPM
Power Supply: Enermax 350w
Network Card w/ 342 SDSL Covad

I tried every multiply setting and it ran stable up to 996Mhz but is it really overclocking? I tried 1.2Ghz but it locked up after short use so it must be doing something.

Oh yeah, the CPU Core voltage is 2.3 for the first processor and 2.1 for the second. The first processor is a steady 134'F and the second is peaking at 158'F kinda hot I'm getting better cooling )

Whatever. You are saying that you got your 533eb's to run at 1.2 gigs. You are one of two things.
1. Stupid.
2. A liar.
Or a combination of the two. Where are you getting these magical numbers from?

Dude, if you can't offer help, don't. Clearly everyone had to start somewhere.

Now. The reason your cpus is working at 996 is because PIIIs are multiplier locked. That means when you try different multiplier settings, nothing happens.. the cpu's hardwired multiplier takes precedence. The only way to overclock a pentium system is to bump the FSB. Good luck.

Thanks S_Klass and Warhorse thank you for the info, and I tried the the 5 multiplier again and the program showed it as the same setting of 4. Although it does nothing something makes the board instable at this setting, oh well.
