Strategy

The Pentium II 450 MHz is the last of the Deschutes line and closes the Pentium II family as a whole. This 4.5× multiplier processor offers little more overclocking potential than its 400 MHz sibling; the average overclock is 504 MHz using the 112-MHz front-side bus speed. Some rare models may reach upwards of 550 MHz, but nearly all P2 450 chips will fail to boot at the 600-MHz level.

Note the lower maximum temperature rating of 70° Celsius for the P2 450, down from 75° for the P2 400. Cooling is a serious concern when overclocking this processor, especially at operating speeds exceeding 500 MHz. The Intel retail heatsink cooler will prove inadequate for any serious attempts; owners should closely examine their system's cooling capabilities before proceeding with overclocking.
