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 specsComment

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.Not registered Go here and click register to join the Digital Digest Forums

@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 OSComment

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 enoughComment

was 1.47CPU Core 1.39 V
power supply stable??? new one right?
wonder if there's a core voltage setting in bios?
auto might be unstable?Comment

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.Not registered Go here and click register to join the Digital Digest Forums

Ah I forgot the overclock from auto to manual
Edit - I did list that sorry

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 heckComment
