Well killed the p4 by messing up the heat spreader removal, and i was having a nightmare trying to get a new 1. I couldnt find anywere that had the 1.9ghz in stock and did next day delivery so i eventually had to cancel my first order for a 1.9 (which would have taken about a week!) and order a 2ghz instead that will arrive tomorrow. Wonder what a 2ghz will clock to, the 1.7 was able to run on a 125mhz bus, but i doubt the 2ghz will manage that Is that about the limit of the Willamette p4?

Not necessarily. It's just the top that Intel is gonna release it as. However, I think it may not be the greatest OC'r available, but you can always see about that.;)

Hey ill give it a go

Ok i gotta isssue here and i don't know what to do. my t bird 1.3 systems kept locking up and i didn't knoww why. well i was doing some video card changes and i took a look in the bios and checked the cpu temps well i was upset with them. A 117 DEGREES F. i guess the alpha pep 66 was a shitty ordeal. so i need to find a good cooler can you all plez giv3 me som3 help.

Whooo hoooo p4 is back, got the 1.9 instead cos i recon i can get a better bus speed outta it

Me is happy Also case looks very nice and is also very cool and quiet.....

Pimpin, maybe your overclocking is causing the lockup ? That temp isnt gonna cause an lockup, its fine. Try and get a program called prime95, just do a search for it, it has a torture test mode and finds even the smallest instability. If it can survive 30mins-1hour of that then its stable and the problem is elsewere.

Well i hate to say this but that temp was after i put the cpu back at stock speed. so for somereason this cpu runs realy really hot.but that temp must have been higher when it was overclocked so i need to find a better cooler

I suggest the Vantec CCK-6027D. Copper cooler and just using cheap goop packaged with the cooler, I run 51*C under load @ 1.53GHz and 1.85Volts.

While your temps are pretty warm, if that's the load, you should be doin' pretty good.

Vantec is good i got the swiftech mcx-478 in the end and it does an amazing job but it quite expensive

Has anyone ran water cooling.i was looking into that last night

I did look into water but decided it was more trouble that it was worth, knowing me i would probably kill my whole PC 8)

YEAH I HAVE HEARD THAT THE PUMPS LIKE TO STOP WORKING SOMETIME AND STUFF LIKE THAT

I hgot my case

i need a hardrive for my server cause both my extras are dead

Probably'll take about a month to RMA them. Tough break, pimpin'. Happened to me too.:(

well i am on the hunt for a hd now

Well, I've done some major overclocking on that GF3: 250MHz core, 571MHz ram so far! I have surpassed the Ti500 stock speeds and then some. I'm also RMAing a drive for my dad, which I get to keep once it comes back:D.

We've had a lot of different hdd's and so far the best ones we've had have been Western Digital. I don't know if we got a bad batch of Maxtor's or what, but this is #3 in RMA from home. Oh well, maxtor is good about RMAing stuff to ya.

yeah i like maxtors for some reason they are good drive to a point

Nice overclock Brian Never tried overclocking my ti500, do you ever do 3dmark ?
