Well, the Epox is in. Had to up the memory voltage before WinXP would stop giving me a MEMORY_MANAGEMENT BSOD. I also found out the HTP372 controller doesn't like my rounded cables...

Yeah, the Northwood is a nice overclocker. I know some dude that's trying to hit 2.6 with his 1.6A, and he might do it too with his H2O setup.

I found out something: shims suck! I had one on my T-bird and it was preventing me from using anything but the default multiplier. That sucked!

Does a dual 2.2GHs Prestonia with 1G PC800 count? Only 6 18G Cheetah's RAID5w/128MB cache controller? With a GF4?

I don't have a huge heatsink anyway, so the shim is kinda pointless and I haven't killed a core yet.

Criminy! My 8K3A+ died, and I'm sending back for a full refund from Newegg. On the upside, I got an Abit NV7-133R to replace it. This mutha is loaded, and could probably change my stance on Abit. So far (and it hasn't been long) it's given me no problems. On a side note, this is the first non-Via chipset motherboard I've used in one of my personal machines for at least 2 years (440BX last non-Via one for me).

At idle - 28C
Full Hard @ss Load - 40C
I maxed the cpu out at 100% for 5 hours, and the temp
never went over 40C

Of course that depends on if my AC is running or not. :):
I've seen it idle at 26C
and be at full load running at 35C
Just depends on ambient room temp for me.
Mine is not overclocked. Standard CPU
