Here's a brief rundown of my applicable specs
1.8ghz P4, w/512KB L2 (I think that's a Northwood, right?)
I'm using the Thermaltake Volcano 7+, set on medium
2x 512MB Samsung PC2700 DDR33
ATI- AIW 8500
2x120GB WD Caviar SE w/8mb buffer
1x80GB WD Caviar SE w/8mb buffer
1x160GB WD Caviar SE w/8mb buffer
I have a Lian-Si case w/2 fans inthe front, and 2 in the back.
I just got a Thermaltake Hardcano 12 and put the probes on the side of the Volcano 7+, on the side of the powersource, on 1 of the RAM sticks, and on top of the Hard Drives.
I'm running a dual W2K/WXP boot.
What do you think is the optimal setting for this set up? I kept changing my FSB and nothing was stable. I got it to boot to Windows fine, but when I tried going above 2.1ghz, it wouldn't boot into windows
I'm looking to get to about 2.2ghz- 2.4 stable w/o increasing the CPU voltage too much.
Also, I wanted to know if anyone had any tips for oc'ing the PC2700s
Thanks for your time
Chuck
Edit: The temp of the probe taped to the side of the Volcano 7+ is around 30 C
The temp on the RAM hovers around 32 C.
