That mouser was so comfy (first consumer optical)! You could spin it out, but then again also overclock it.
And not to brag, but I bought (also my third computer) a Celeron 300A at that time & overclocked it from 300 to 450MHz making it the fastest Intel CPU for years. Those were some good days.
Hello fellow overclocker! Got myself the 366 and managed to get it to a consistent 550, 605 with a box fan on it 😂
Damn, what a rush! And a fellow golden-era overclocker.
I couldn't manage over 500 on my Celeron, I tried the pin-voltage trick but it made no difference.
Also the last time I didn't really have to worry about cooling - for my next CPU (Thunderbird) I made a custom water block (gramps helped a lot :)).
Awesome! I never got around to water cooling but that was definitely the dream
