Setting to 1533 caused the system to either not boot or crash at any time for no reason. Has a big heatsink and fan and CPU temp is running in the 50s. I did not use thermal transfer paste between CPU and Heat sink. System is rock steady at 1150 at 100MHz bus. RAM is 256 of PC2700 What can it be? By the way I could not repair my WinXP install. Had to rebuild from scratch - What a weekend. Don	Guest (0)

48659	2002-05-13 10:45:00	without thermal paste you run a very large risk of burning out the cpu. did you lap the heatsink at all? what heatsink?	Guest (0)
48660	2002-05-14 20:41:00	My Computer parts guy did not point out the need for this. Just gave me this huge heat sink and fan. CPU temp is running around 55 C but I guess there could be localised heating of the CPU. Will try thermal paste on the weekend. Don	Guest (0)
48661	2002-05-15 06:04:00	Hi Trev Power supply is 300W. This motherboard talks to you when there is a fault (really). Says 'CPU overclock' even though the bus speed is set to 133 and CPU to 1150. It only goes reliably with CPU 1150 and Bus 100. Am going to swap CPU on the weekend with one that is known to go OK and if that is still a problem look further. Don	Guest (0)
