Was wondering how overclockable this CPU is?
I have one like this and would like to overclock it to 120 MHz (40 x 3).
Does it normally run stable at this speed?
Yes, it usually does.
But it's over-clocking, so, YMMV.
R9 3900X/X470 Taichi/32GB 3600CL15/5700XT AE/Marantz PM7005
i7 980X/R9 290X/X-Fi titanium | FX-57/X1950XTX/Audigy 2ZS
Athlon 1000T Slot A/GeForce 3/AWE64G | K5 PR 200/ET6000/AWE32
Ppro 200 1M/Voodoo 3 2000/AWE 32 | iDX4 100/S3 864 VLB/SB16
If you have the CPU, just try it and see. There shouldn't be any danger with a decent heatsink.
I'd say 7 out of 10 of the DX4-100WT chips I have encountered have been running at 120MHz... Sometimes the system was even sold as featuring a 120MHz processor according to labels and receipts. Marking up was common practice by scumbag builders back when these were in the low-end market. A nearby store that no longer exists (I wonder why? I had to repair a lot of his builds for people when they stopped going to him) sold such a machine as featuring the "Enhanced AMD Am5x85-120 - Energy Saving" (or something to that effect) in this configuration.
