They are pretty loud, I have to admit. But I don't have an SPL meter handy. Not any louder than an oscillating fan to cool a room. :) I have 2.

That's the sound of COOL, twice! ;)

If I remember this has to do with a new hardware install. Probably drivers. Did you recently install anything new? Update your drivers. Or remove incompatible hardware.

I have just attempted to build a P4 with MSI 915G COMBO and ATI X800 PRO. ALL appropriate plugs are connected (vid card, +12v cpu, atx 24 pin, etc). Ram is installed. Brand new Enermax Liberty 500w. Here is the issue: PSU and vid card (fans) spin up for about 10 seconds, then immediately cut...

yeah! got a couple of thermaltake volcano 8s today. brought both cpu core idle temps down 20 degrees celcius!! original temps ran at about 58 degrees celcius at idle. these thermaltakes bring them down to 38 degrees celcius at idle. no need to run Prime95 to convince me of my investment! thanks...

bennny, thanks that worked. Multiplier of 12 seems to give me 1.60GHZ. 12.5 makes the system reboot after "verifying DMI POOL DATA", then locks up. Oh Well. stumps, no need for name calling. I am A+ Certified, buddy.

Apparently, there is a jumper. JFSB. Near the jumpers for PWRSW RST, ETC. New problem is, after changing jumper to "133", upon reboot, POST is OK. DMI POOL DATA AND IRQ CHECK OK. THEN SCREEN GOES BLACK, NOTHING HAPPENS. WINDOWS DOES NOT BOOT. :(

brand of mobo is MSI K7D MASTER. CPU-Z REPORT: MULTIPLIER: 12.5 FSB: 100.7 FOR BOTH CPU's thanks happs01

I went into BIOS into the "CPU/PCI HOST CLOCK" setting. I set it to the highest option. I was able to reach a clock speed of 1.46GHZ but the computer thinks it's a 1700+ as opposed to a 2000+, wierd but faster so I don't care. No section there in BIOS for FSB settings. The only problem with this...

stock CPU FANS run the CPU's hotter than I would like at idle (cpu1) 127 and (cpu2) 123 degrees respectively. They have not failed yet though. Suggestions on fans that would be the same size but with better performance. NO WATER COOLING PLEASE. UPDATE: I moved the case around for better air flow...

Both the clock speeds of my MP2000+ SHOULD BE @ 1.67GHZ. They have always been 1.26. Clock multiplier in BIOS is set to "AUTO". Even when set to highest level, same result. Suggestions? Also, stock CPU FANS run the CPU's hotter than I would like at idle (cpu1) 127 and (cpu2) 123 degrees...
