667MHz, stable as a rock!

[Down8 0]

OK, it's late, and I should be in bed, but I'm playing with my system.

 

I got my PIII 500E to 667MHz with a FSB of 133. Nice for me. I was only looking for 650, but with the locked clock-multiplier, I just went for the 133, instead of my planned 5.5 x 118. The stranger things are as follows:

 

1) I got the OEM PIII, so there was no HSF, so I picked up a little $10 one, planning on getting a better one later. With the system overclocked, and with SETI@home running, my system doesn't get above 107F, at 5800RPMs. Even with a GlobalWin, or an Alpha on there, I would only get down to 95-100F. I do have my case open on one side, but still.

 

2) Then there is the Vcore setting of 1.73v, which is only strange because the FC-PGAs are supposed to run at 1.6v. I didn't set this, it's default Vcore. Anyone know why this is?

 

Just me rambling... I'm going to bed now...
