Thanks. Looking to see if there is a trend for Prescott failures as there is for Northwoods.
 
Hey great thread! I have never heard of any Prescott failing yet, except for one 3.2E failure described by dirtmerchand a few weeks ago.
 
Not yet. It's hit 83C a few times with the cheap-o watercooling system I got and trying to hit 4.2Ghz. Building a new WC system from the ground up, that should take care of that.
 
Not that I am trying kill a P4E but I think the MB will fail (or PSU) way before the pressie does :D, I'll let you know as I about to run 1.6 through my 2.8E to try to stablize at 265.
