As you can see I tested a wide range of different bus speed
settings mostly whatever my BH6 mainboard would allow. It seems
that the sweet spot for the processor is between 373 and 450
MHz, that is where it ran the most stable. I counted the speed
achievable, if the display would post, and I considered the
speed stable after running an hour of Quake 2 benchmarks without
crashes.
All
in all I love the cooler, despite the lack of installation instructions.
Now thanks to 3DfxCOOL I can run my celeron processor at a nice
and stable 450 Mhz. The Cel-Rex is built very well, and should
definitely be included in any power gamer's system, if you are
willing to shell out the $37.50 for it that is.
