intel celeron E3200

[hinton95]

hi i have brought this processor the my second pc because the motherboard and processor broke but i dont know what is the max i can overclock it my system is as follows:

intel celeron E3200 at 2.66ghz (i heard these can do 4???)
nvidia zotac geforce 210 (1gb)
foxconn g31m
500gb hdd
akasa x4 cpu cooler
(lots of fans)

before anyone says they are not very good is the only reason i brought is because for both on ebay was £45.

A tiny bit of googling reports 4GHZ+.

Of course, it's complete luck of the draw, You might get only 3GHZ. You can only try...

You may not get much of an overclock of the E3200 (if it is a decent chip) with your present motherboard...I have the E3300 which I run @ stock in a WHS box, so haven't tried to o/c it yet...

i went through 3 of these cpu non clocked above 3.8ghz

You should be able to get 4Ghz.

If you're lucky, you'll break 3.5.

Need a good amount of cooling though. I think the Akasa is up to the task...

i guess it depends on luck you might get a good stepping you might not.
