OC Addiction have thrown up their How to Guide for overclocking your Pentium 4 800FSB processor! Here's a snip.
Today on OCA, we're going to give you a little tutorial on overclocking your new 800FSB P4. It seems these types of systems are getting much more popular, and people are getting rather insane clock speeds out of their hardware. With the 2.4C's and i865PE/875P boards, it's almost like a return to the days of the Celeron 300A and 440BX mobo's. 50% overclocks are not exactly commonplace, but with the right hardware combinations, it's definitely achievable. So, without further ado, lets get this party started.
Well, all the basics need to be covered of course. You will need an 800 Front Side Bus (FSB) Intel Pentium 4 processor, these range from stock speeds of 2.4GHz to 3.2GHz. The lower ones (2.4 and 2.6) are usually the ones I recommend for air and water cooled setups, since they overclock to roughly the same area as the more expensive versions on that amount of cooling. However, for those running "extreme" temperatures, from either a Prometia/VapoChill, to a water cooling setup that has either a peltier element or chilled water, the higher multiplier ones (3.0 and 3.2) are going to be better options. Now I'll explain my reasoning
