Overclocking Pentium 3

hoyoyo80 · September 9th, 2002

Hello, i need help to overclocking my old pc,P3 800, the problem is the ACER bios doesn't have options for OC...so can i OC it another way? Can somebody give a guide to do this?

why not change the fsb from the bios.

hoyoyo80 · September 9th, 2002

There is no advance options on acer bios, it a simple bios actually

It may have jumpers to set the FSB speed, don't even thnk about the multiplier because they are locked and will have no effect even when set to higher rates. Refer to your mobo manual (if you have it) or search the intenet for info on your board.

I try it now

Can't find any, i am using intel815 mobo

then the only other way (Besides getting a new mobo) is to use software overclocking. I don't really recommend this option tho.

i dont recomend software overclocking either. a i815 board isnt going to have jumpers for changing fsb. most boards got rid of jumpers arround the p2 era.

yeah those were such a pain in the ass to deal with...

hoyoyo80 · September 10th, 2002

what are the name of the software,can i815 use it?

Alias · September 11th, 2002

there are a few, such as softfsb or cpufsb. Whether you can use it on your motherboard depends if the software supports your PLL on your mobo, but i really REALLY don't recommend that you use it. Software (like OS registry) corruption is very very likely, so use it at your own risk.

I think you better buy a new mobo like abit SA6 (good!!!)
