T3000 overclocking
Hello,
I'm trying to overclock my CPU which is an Intel Celeron T3000 @ 1.8GHz (dual core). Multiplier is 9, FSB 800MHz, bus speed 200MHz.
Mainboard model is 0G848F, but here's the problem, SetFSB does not recognize this motherboard and so I can not overclock the processor since I don't know the clock generator. I looked online but found no relevant websites on this particular cpu & motherboard model. Here is a CPU-Z screenshot - there is a field just right to the motherboard model which I know shouldn't be empty... but it is :
Does anyone by any chance ever had to work with this model and knows the correct clockgen for this one ? Also, is it actually safe to "get" the fsb information using any clock generator to check whether it's the correct one or not (without setting anything) ? I would say yes but not sure. Also - last question - since this is a software OC I know it doesn't persist over a reboot, but if the computer somehow freezes while overclocking, does it actually get damaged (provided I instantly power it off), or not ? If not then software OC would be a great way to test the limits of the cpu before putting in the results into the BIOS.
Thanks for your help.
