P3-800EB@930, any higher?

[RKAltimas01]

My P3-800EB@930 is very stable. I donno if I should go higher. The CPU temp is always around the 25C-35C.

I am using the Asus CUSL2 mobo. What do you guys think?

the EB cpus aren't the best for o/clocking as there isn't a great deal of headroom for increasing fsb plus the need for very good ram to run over 150fsb.
overclock further at your own risk!

Check Overclockers.com CPU Database and see what the average of other P3 800eb owners are getting.

What kind of cooling do you use? For now on my VP6 my 800EB (using a standard dell heatsink/fan...it was all i had lying around) @ 870 runs at like 56-62 degrees depending on load. I'm upgrading heatsinks soon, but I don't expect to get much higher... Like it was said, EB processors aren't the best for overclocking. Get your stepping information and such and then compare it on the site maap posted.

I just got a regular Intel HSF on it. But I do have 3 80mm Case Fans. I am not worrying too much about running my ram at over 150 FSB because the mother board down clocks the ram back to PC100 specs when the FSB goes over 133. I am running my ram at around PC120 specs.

Oh and the temp range should be 20C-30C not 25C-35C.

Sounds to me like you are definately a candidate to try to go higher than 930. What voltage are you at running the 930?

 

[RKAltimas01]

base voltage.

sounds to me like you can go higher. raise voltage up a bit more and see if it will go

If your system doesn't let you run@ way beyond 133mhz FSB, how can you reach 930mhz on a P3 800EB?? That's impossible. Based on what you said, being stable@ 930, you would need a healthy 155mhz FSB with no failure. Did u mean the P3 800E?? Please forgive me if I misunderstood you. If yours is cB0 EB chip, then your current OC is way too good, I mean "superb". If you have a cC0 or cD0 EB chip, then you maybe able to go as high as 1000+mhz(166+mhz FSB). If you have an E chip with cB0 stepping, your current OC is "okay". If you got cC0 or cD0 E chip, then you should be able to hit 1064mhz quite easily. You must state what stepping you have and verify what type of chip(E or EB) you have.
