OverClocking

I have a 1.8 P4 and was wondering how you go about over clocking it?
Thanks

You can't overclock Pentium 4 Processors. Many have tried. Intel lock them
and there is no known way of unlocking them.

That turns out not to be the case. Pentium 4 processors are highly
overclockable. The MULTIPLIER is locked, so overclocking is done by raising
the FrontSide Bus speed. Overclocks of 50% are possible, depending on the
stock speed, manufacturing process, and particular part. A Pentium 4 1.8
GHz 'Northwood' has a good chance of overclocking to 2.7 GHz if the FSB
speed is raised to (150 MHz X 4), the AGP bus locked to 66 MHz, and the PCI
bus locked to 33 MHz. The core voltage will very likely need to be raised,
extra cooling may be necessary, and either fast memory or a lower memory
speed will also be necessary.

Why are you telling this guy he can't overclock a P4? Of course he can.
Anyone can,with a non-Intel motherboard.
Just raise the FSB. Geez,what a dope.

My cousin has a sony computer (dunno what model) with a P4 1.8Ghz
Prescott CPU. I was able to overclock his FSB and raise his speed to
2.0Ghz If I try to go any higher his computer hangs. Maybe it needs
better cooling, I dunno.

The program is called CPUFSB. You won't be able to save the info, once
everything is set. It's not free, you'll have to pay to unlock the
save feature. But if you don't mind setting the overclock info
everytime windows loads. Go google it.
