*NOTE* DO NOT TRY THIS. IT COULD SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR PROCESSOR AND/OR OTHER COMPONENTS *NOTE*

Currently, I am running a Pentium 4 1.8A Northwood w/ the stock heatsink (non sunflower), without its fan (a 92mm in its place), and Arctic Silver 3, at 2556mhz. How? Here is how:

IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON COPYING ME, STOP READING NOW. I AM NOT RECCOMENDING THIS TO ANYBODY.

Basically, I did a v-pin mod to se the Voltage default to 1.85v. Now, instead of a Single wire loop, which tends to be loose, I got a long wire and doubled it.

Then, I enabled JUMPER MODE, and got a copy of the P4T manual (i had one lying around, good thing i used to use Socket 423 :) ), and set the jumpers to an FSB of 142 (highest stable, 144 would boot but was unstable in benchmarks, same with 145). Now remember, I have some mods on this heatsink which are listed above. Here are the current stats:

P4 NW 1.8 @ 2.556ghz, Idle 90F, Full 105F (32C - 41C)
Asus P4T-E, Front Side Bus 142mhz
PC800 RDRAM running at 426mhz (3x speed)

I also have a fan (crappy 60mm) blowing air away from the motherboard and it is lying next to the CPU, on top of the ram, and over the northbridge. I also have another 60mm fan blowing air into one of the sides of the HSF assembly to guarantee that the air will go to the other gan. My 2 HDDs (IBM 75GXP w/ heatsink and some maxtor drive) also have a fan blowing onto them.

AGAIN DO NOT TRY IT AT HOME!!!!!!

*Addition* When it was Overclocked to 110FSB, the CPU temperature at full was lower than the motherboard temperature. That should tell u this is a very good processor.
 
antman , you seem to be really optimistic , read all the news groups around and you will realize that your p4te sensor is showing about 10°C under real temp !
 
Dankal, since i dont read newgroups, im going to trust Motherboard Monitor 5. Plus, unless it crashes or underclocks from the overheating, im still fine.
 
Perfectly right Mike , my 1,6A is running stable at 60°C in P95 and i dont worry either , maybe my TH7 II is very pessimistic and it's showing 5 or 6 °C more but no way of checking .
Well actually, i worry a little bit as i ordered an Alpha to replace my little Sunflower that i just got today as it did make any good !
Best regards
