    best heatsink/fan for o/c P4

    Hmm... I'm running my 1.60A @ 2400MHz with 1.60V pumping through it and it's running pretty cool (IMO). I never bothered to check the "stock" temps when running @ the default 1600MHz clock rate, but I can tell you that MBM 5 reports a consistent 23C for the P4B266-C MB and depending on system...

    Thanks to everyone for their advice and recommendations! OK, I have some good news! After looking through some of the earlier posts here and elsewhere, I saw someone mention that the P4B266 MB's USB might be a problematic running at the 133MHz setting. That got me thinking... I have a MS...

    P4B266-C 1.6A -- Can't O/C @ 133MHz BIOS Setting

    Hi, guys I really need some help getting my new hardware up to speed. Last week, I ordered a P4B266-C MB and a P4 1.6A processor to replace my previous K7S5A and Athlon XP 1700+ setup. Well, I got everything mounted in the case and then booted up at the "default" settings to make sure...
