Submission + - Retro Overclocking: A Finnish overclocker pushes Celeron 300A to 721,17Mhz (muropaketti.com) 1
An anonymous reader writes: Celeron 300A was one of the most flexible processors of its time. Since then manufacturers have come a long way, but there was more to push when it comes to this beast from the from the late 90s. A Finnish overclocker, a founder of Muropaketti-forum, Sampsa Kurri broke what others have tried breaking multiple world records at the same time.
Mr. Kurri was able to reach astonishing 721,17Mhz using dry ice. The processor ran on ABit BE6-2 motherboard with 128mb of Mushkin High Performance Rev 3.0 memory. Windows XP was used as the operating system.
Even though, by today's standards, Celeron 300A might be obsolete, this overclock process and praparation was followed and read by thousands (as of 10th of March, the thread was read over 57000 times) proving the that there are still those of us who want to see how far we can be push the boundaries of technology.
