O/C ABIT BX6-2 with Celeron 533 or 566

[Philfan]

I've got an ABIT BX6-2 with a celeron 400. I'm thinking of getting a celeron 533 or 566 to use with the BX6-2 and overclocking it. Any pitfalls with this combination or any hints to make it work relatively easy? How high can I overclock with a standard fan? Which fan would you recommend? Thanks for your help.

Pitfalls? None that I am aware of. Make sure you have decent cooling. A Golden Orb is generally adequate for cooling the new Celerons if you want to try to hit 100Mhz FSB, and a relatively inexpensive (~$15). If you are going to try to go higher, I would recommend the FCPGA GlobalWin or Alpha coolers.

Also, make sure you have updated your BIOS to the most current version.
