@telvm Yes. Follow the directions exactly for your motherboard. The droop on vcore should be reduced by 75%.

Had to raise voltage because I'm having a lot of Vdroop at full 'burner. Not sure if the culprit is the mobo, the PSU, or both. Amazed you reached 4.0GHz with just 1.344~1.36V :exclamation: . its the motherboard. The Asus motherboards at the time were NOTORIOUS for this. But if you could solder in …

I know right? I was honestly hoping to be out bid at $1, again because it isn't the PE version (I will get one eventually) That said, I might install an Arctic Silencer on it. That was THE heatsink for its time. I had one on my 9600se.

I really don't think there is an excuse to NOT have a mobile phone anymore. I've personally sold 100's of $15 pay-as-you-go basic mobile phones, when I worked at wal-mart.

too hot! Intel rated the williamette @ 75C and northwood/prescott @ 70C Any hotter than that, you risk damaging the chip!

You haven't seen heat generation until you overclock that pentium 4 into the 4ghz range. In fact, anything faster than 3.2 practically required water-cooling.

Silly question, but what exactly is the point of having scsi AND ide? The reason you can't see the scsi hard drive is because the two controller bios are conflicting. One or the other needs to be a "stupid" controller. (no bios). PCI fixed this and is no longer an issue. but pre-PnP isa. Anything …

well the idea is 2mb L2 with the MVP chipset (tyan 1598 & pa2013) or the Aladdin V (asus p5a)

get a different motherboard and use a AGP card. Get a FIC PA-2013 (2mb L2) or an Asus P5A (comes in both AT and ATX) A gem K6-3+ needs to sit in the best board. Accept no substitutions.
