  • The easiest way to overclock is with the equipment you've already got inside your system. Most processors are cooled with a heatsink and fan, like our Celeron/Duron 700MHz, and are already ready already (Bacardi mixer anyone?). Pair the CPU with a motherboard capable of front side bus manipulation or the ability to unlock the processor multiplier like our A7V, and you've got an easily accessible test bed.

    First we'll look at our Celeron 700, which we successfully clocked to 892MHz via an 85MHz front side bus. Granted, the 10.5x clock multiplier isn't the most "overclocking-friendly" we've dealt with, but this is just another consequence of overclocking with high-end value parts. If you're dead-set on a 100MHz-capable Celeron, stick to the hard-to-find 533 or 566MHz parts.
