I am sorry I haven't been folding I got that new board in and well lets just say I couldn't even use a 60mm heatsink on it. I don't know what the crackheads at Iwill were thiking when they made it. 166mhz FSB and you can't even use a good heatsink on it.

So I have to get my money back on it. Now I am back on my old board so I am back to foldng.

Looking to get my money back and get an Abit Bx133 with Raid I think thats the numbers on the board.
Fold on guys :)

This is the motherboard. I can't believe that they could make an understite as large as this.

Everyone, try to imagine that Iwill board with a heatsink on it - believe me, it looks terribly cramped. But, it did have a FSB of 166.

You mean you can't get a fop38 on there or a Thermoengine? :confused:
BX133? That's a socket 370 board, you can't do anything with that! :rolleyes:

Stan I run celerons.

Yes It was a 57mm buffer. I need to send it back anyway I think that the board is messed up anyway. Their is no way to control the raid via bios or jumpers.

I beg to differ 200mhz FSB in 1 mhz step. I am going to try and go for a 666mhz Celeron lmao maybe then I can prove to people that intel is evil.

Stan I run celerons.

Yeah, so what's with needing a big hsf? I have a 533 that runs 896 all day long with a little square sink and a thin fan. (and doesn't get much done) I sold one just like it last night for $40.00 complete, BH6 and all, cause it was wasting space. :rolleyes:

Cause I burnt my celeron core at 980mhz with a volcano3 plus I like keeping my temps at 80 or below that was the board for my new system I was going to take and put the board I am on now into the new rig.

Yea thats why I am getting my money back for it. IO can't beleive that they would make a board with 166mhz FSB and it won't allow you to use a 60mm heatsink.
