    I like those 120 mm fans, pull the PS and use it to upgrade another box

      It was on frys as a mid tower but when it came it's a mini tower box, but I could use it for somebody else and the IF the rebate comes from Antec for $9.99 who could hollar. I'll keep ya posted on how it goes...more fans to come. And I might try the Artic Silver thermal compound. I seen where guys posted it lowered CPU temp about 10C in some cases. And it could be I didn't do a good job on the thermal compound on the HSF maybe. I put it about a inch square on the CPU and then put the HSF on.

          room temp and airflow look like they are causing the higher temps

          thermal paste is probably fine tho, the metal cap on those cpu's make the mount easy and hard to screw up

          your idle temps were fine, it's just getting rid of the heat in the case area that is the problem(small one)

          my xp mobile starts to overheat with the case side on, only got one pos
          80 mm pulling air out

          course it's clocked at 200/xp3200 specs

            It's cooler in the basement in the winter and the Mrs goes outside to get warm in the summer

            The Ultra PSU has a 120mm fan in the bottom. The first mem stick on the mobo is only about an inch from the HSF and the air coming outta that side feels hotter than the left side

            I try the Ultra case it's the biggest one outta the 3 I have to use now with the 120mm fan from the Antec case or another fan or 2 in thia one.

              @Chewy - boot up trouble

              When I shut it down and went to reboot it just sat there at the Asus bootup screen with the hit delete to enter setup. I lowered it from 246 to 245 then it booted. I then shut it down and went to reboot and it sat there again. And ideas? Right now I am at stock. Thanks

                post the overclock from everest

                doesn't sound good tho, if you didn't lower the HT divider you might have corrupted the OS

                  Divider?? It's rebooting fine stock. I'll hook it up to the net and post the overclock in a coupla minuyes. Thanks

                      when you raise the fsb you have to lower the HT from 1000 to 800 to compensate, 200 x 5 = 1000(stock HT)
                      250 x 4 = 1000

                      in my bios it let's me set for 800 or 1000, I downclock to 800 which gives a 4x
                      multiplier(fsb x 4)

                      same principle as the memory settings, at one point I was running my hyper transport(system bus speed?) at 1450

                      windows only laster a week or so on my via controller, the promise is on a different bus and more immune to overclock corruption, but slower

                      system drive is a 10K raptor and already fast enough

                        CPU Core 1.39 V
                        was 1.47

                        power supply stable??? new one right?

                        wonder if there's a core voltage setting in bios?

                        auto might be unstable?

                          Oh that divider...I did this

                          CPU config - lowered from auto(400) to 333

                          HTT from auto to 4

                          Jumper config changed from auto to manual

                          CPU frequency - took up from 200, finally to 246 was at like 2951 MHz ran for a day and a half shut it down, went to reboot then it hung at the Asus boot up screen.

                            Ah I forgot the overclock from auto to manual

                            Edit - I did list that sorry

                              Just seen this

                              new power supply. the CV went from 1.47 to 1.39 when I went back to stock. There is a CV setting in bios right now it is in auto, change it to manual and leave at 1.4 ?

                                memory has got me puzzled tho, the other settings seem fine

                                setting memory back to 333 is only backing down by 20%

                                but you are raising fsb 22.5%

                                memory is the first thing to crap out with an overclock of the amd64 systems

                                you can't overclock it at all usually, that memory controller onboard pushs it like heck
