If I oc the xp's to 2000mhz each do I have enough power and cooling?

dude....i already talked to you about this on icq. You cannot overclock your cpu's unless you get goldensockets. There max is 12.5 on the multipliers and you have to unlock those xp's first. The most your gonna get is 1.66ghz 12.5x133. The tyan boards have no fsb features. There a 50/50 chance that those xp's will work too. Your better and safer getting MP's. If you get a koolance case your gonna have hard time keeping that second cpu cool as it will get hot water from the first cpu. Those silver polyblocks your talking about are aweful... you will be lucky to even have then sent from chip at overclockwatercool.com . Icq me again and i will help you.

If they hit 2ghz then wow!!!
Anyways use a juction in ya watercooling then both the cpu's will have fresh cool water.
When will Epox make a oc'able Dual cpu board?
Good Luck,
Nick
P.S. If you have the cash it looks like it!!! then why not buy a huge case and use two watercooling systems?? I wouldn't be hard to setup and you mught then have a chance of getting them to 2ghz...Some guys 1800+ hit 2ghz LOCKED!!! I think...

One reason I don't buy one of those big cases is because they are the size of a house. Second is they look like s**t. Third umm they look like crap.
Who sells the Golden Socket? Was considering a Tyan Tiger for Christmas and even though overclocking it wasn't a huge consideration, if I can, I will.
EDIT:
Nevermind...did a Search (practice what you preach, Jon...haha) and found them at Plycon. Not sure if I want to spend $100 just to be able to change the multiplier though. An extra couple hundred MHz is nice but I could upgrade both chips for that.
Then you will have a system that isnt overclocked. Just doesnt feel right. Thats why i got mine.

Don't ya just love when your post turns to someone elses...
LoL jk.
But true that mek whats the pt of not being able to say
YEAH I OCED MY JUNKER INTO A SUPER JUNKER
LoL jm
I was reading up on these Golden Sockets and they appear to only offer a multiplier up to 12.5. Isn't it going to be a little rough getting your XP to 2GHz on a multiplier of 12.5? Especially if there is no changing of the FSB.
Just something to think about...I definately could be missing something though.
He knows that now. I had a long talk with him on icq. I had to get him back to reality.:p
Oh, haha.
Also convinced me even further as to why I don't need to spend that much on them.
Think I might wait around a little longer for Abit or MSI to get their dually out.
Having 3 Pentium dually rigs already is making me sweat though...I want one now! Haha...
