Default Is this safe to OC?

Verify the specifications of the CPU by looking up its sSpec#.
Moreover, the "EB" labeling indicates that it should be running
on a 133 MHz bus and not at 100 MHz.



Thanks for the reply.

Is there a way to find the sSpec# without removing the Heatsink?

Cheers,

The CPU-Z data indicates with a high degree of probability
that this is a P3-1GHz/133 MHz. And through the process of
elimination, the Intel Pentium III Processor Specification
Update does not even list a P3-750EB CPU. But there are P3-
750/100 MHz CPU's in the FC-PGA packaging having the same
0686h CPUID and cC0 core stepping.
