Question!!!

[lightning]

i just got a PIII-750 chip(SL-4CF) and o/c it! i can run thru w2k with 960mhz at 128mhz fbs with 7.5 multiplier! i had 2 stick of pc-133 ram but don't know the brand of it! i just wonder why it can't go up to higher fsb? is it due to the ram or the chip! i use Abit VP6 mobo!

as long as you have the SDRAM set to "host clk" in the bios ,it probbably isnt the DIMMs , I bet its a heat issue, what kind of cooling are you running?

well.....i use Alpha pep 66, but the temp are around 33-36! is that hot?? is it wrong installation?? and i also use Artic silver II too! after i run thru all the benchmarking, in 3dmark2000, it run about 1 min then the machine start auto reboot! so i had to drop down to 930 in order to run safely in all benchmark!

How did you apply the Artic Silver? a thin coat or thick coat?

those are not too bad, they should be a tad lower. You may want to lap your heatsink to get better performance. but your temps are pretty good.

err....i think it was thin layer! but i'm not sure how thin in it! maybe i should take it out and redo again! huh.....somebody suggest to do lapping, basically how to do it? coz i'm quite new in o/c! some instruction please!

huh.....i think i had report a wrong temperature! after i install the motherboard monitor 5, it said that my processor temp at 960(128*7.5) are around 29-32 degree C! and i try to burn in! hopefully will post at higher speed!
