I was bored so i did something stupid.
Board: EVGA 650i Ultra
Memory: 512MB Geil DDR2 667 4-4-4-12 @ 730MHz
HDD: 10.1GB Maxtor ATA
GPU: Palit GT210 1GB 128-bit
CPU: Celeron D 2.53GHz @ 4.4GHz 1.56v
Cooler: Stock intel cooler with copper base
Had this board lying around since forever, it came in as "no video", and for the longest time i didn't have a PCI-E card to test it. It did display video with an old ATi PCI card. Now that i have this GT210 PCI-E i decided to test it. Seems there was nothing wrong with the board after all, except it's very finicky about RAM. Well, there is one thing wrong: Maximum Vcore voltage it gives in the BIOS is 1.6v, which is 1.55-1.57v in reality. And it looks like my Celeron wants more. Nothing that can't be modded tho...
I also have a 3.06GHz Celeron D, but this 2.53GHz one overclocks better and runs MUCH cooler. I couldn't even POST past 4.26GHz with the 3.06GHz one.
Btw, i did get it to boot at 4.4GHz, but maximum stable is around 4.33. And what exactly is this doing in custom tweaks? Mods coming later on. MOAR VOLTS! PS: The ridiculous temps you see there are wrong. The motherboard doesn't even report anything except CPU temperature in the BIOS.
