Strategy

Given increasing multiplier values in the E series of Coppermine processors, the P3 700E represents the point at which 133-MHz front-side bus overclocking will prove limited for most system configurations. A 931-MHz core frequency can be attained from such an overclock, but be prepared to upgrade to a quality aftermarket forced-air heatsink cooler in order to maintain stability. The cooler bundled with most 700E models is insufficient for overclocking at 900+ MHz. It cannot cope with increased temperatures at the 1.85 core voltage level.
