pash1k Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 It's my first time trying to overclock (I don't want to do it with the home computer), so I found a really old motherboard with a 766 MHz Celeron Coppermine for really cheap. The problem is that it has the Phoenix BIOS 4.0.1 (which won't let me access basically anything to do with processor speed) so I've been trying to do it through software (SoftFSB, CPU Boost, etc), but I haven't found a program that recognizes the old motherboard. Does anybody know of a software that will? As the title says it's ASUS CUW-AM with a Celeron Coppermine-128 processor. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richba5tard Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Hmm, that may be a tad too old to overclock easily. Afaik you need a high end P3 mobo, like the CUSL2, to overclock properly. Can you get an Athlon (XP) for cheap? Those cost nearly nothing and are easy to overclock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash1k Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Unfortunately, I don't have the motherboard for it. Any suggestions for a motherboard that goes well with the athlon xp and is easy to OC as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richba5tard Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Abit NF7-S, Epox 8RDA+ and a Chaintech 7JNS is good.

pash1k Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Thank you. Any other suggestions on overclocking the Coppermine? Will Soft FSB recognize the Asus CUSL2 motherboard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Scott Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Will Soft FSB recognize the Asus CUSL2 motherboard? SetFSB does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Antinomy Posted March 8, 2010 Crew Share Posted March 8, 2010 pash1k, look for the MoBo manual. FSB jumpers is what you might be looking for. Set it from auto to FSB100 thus pushing your CPU to 1150MHz. Both my 733 made FSB 100 (1100MHz on the CPU) easily. Besides look this page: http://www.cpu-cool.de/FSB.HTM and learn how to figure out your clock generator. Then let us know what it is (because they might be complicated cases on it's marking) and search for a program that works with it. CPUFSB is likely - it was made in these times so supports many PLL's from that age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
