Pentium 4 Overclock. (pointless but interesting)

[marc512]

Im about to wipe my old pc. But before i did i decided to do a little overclocking. Here is my results.
stock

Next selection in speeds

Final step before the pc didnt start.

This was the most pointless thing iv ever done...but i got 1.7ghz out of it . There was only 4 options in the bios. It just pre sets the bus etc. There was also a multiplyer option. Starts from x8 to x23. I couldnt get it past x16 on any of the pre set speeds. There was no voltage tweaker or nothing. Basicly you could say it wasnt a overclock. Hense why i said it was pointless but i just wanted to show the results if anyone is interested. Temps VERY hot. I couldnt get any temp program to work for some reason :\ dont think theres temp sensors on it. You could feel the heat from outside the case and the ... PSU fan ( theres no fan what so ever on the case )

Anyways dont lol to hard. Its a TINY pc...what you expect? heres some pics.

Might have to pay my Dad a visit, I'm sure his Pentium D 3ghz could punch a bit higher

Willamette?! Damn thats oldskool, first gen P4!

Yep, all you have to do is see the big SiS chipset and you know you're in for a rocky ride
That said though in all fairness my dad is using an old 754 Sempron64 (OC'ed to 2ghz from 1.6 too!) on a board with a SiS chipset and its pretty nippy on XP. Even onboard graphics are bearable but nevertheless I ended up bumping it up to an FX5200 for a bit of a boost. Even plays Quake4 albeit on low, not that he'll be playing that...

i dont even have a clue what MB it is lmao all i know its green and small...
Reason i tried OCing the P4 is because my friend also has one and still runs with it on W7. He has 2.5ghz out of his! but i think his is a different socket than mine (maybe newer) the pc was about 1-2 yearold when i bought it. ( 5 years ago )

Onboard graphics are pretty good! i played UT with it on full 800x600 but when Need for speed underground came out i had to by an ATI 2900 something..
