A good while back in Jan.03 I posted a question for advice on this rig & which P4 Chip to purchase 2.6 or 2.66. There was some debate as to whether I could Reach 3.5 or 3.6 GHZ with this setup Well, I now have your answer! I went with the P4 2.66 533FSB, (THANKS FOR THE REPLY'S!) As with the...

Budman, I agree it won't be easy. That's why I Started this Q&A, to get opinions both possibly negative and hopefully more positive on, the idea of theP4 2.60/400 & P4 2.66/533. It appears that Based on what I have gathered so far from this forum, that P4 2.66/533 is the Better of my two Cash...

Sorry Technonut , Thanks for the link and others threads, links you have here! 4.44 GHZ etc. Sure,,, I'll be glad to send tha Prometeia for testing! :) Just tell where to send!! HE HE! No Really, Thanks Again! :D

THUGSROOK, Thanks for the forwarning, I have heard of the possibility about the heatspreader expanding or popping up or off! Would you use some form of a shim? Similar to what's used for the AMD Chips? Or Remove the heat spreader & be Extremly Carefull with mounting the Prometeia Head?

OK.OK Technonut or whoever, If you can run a 2.53 @ 3220 with watercooling, why would you state that I will probably only reach 3.0-3.1 with subfreezing temps and a 2.66 P4? This is why I posted this thread to begin with. I would like to know the reasons why you, or anyone else, thinks that...

DO WHAT? You say no way to 3.5 GHZ with the Prometeia and settings, hardware as mentioned in the video. I have already explained that I will have the exact hardware as the rig that hit 4.1 except for 400mhz slower CPU. I think you had better watch the video again! or read all of this thread...

This the line I am thinking on as well, Finally. You get the best of both with the Higher FSB and CPU MHZ. So it appears that the P4 2.66 533FSB will be my best choice, if I can hit 175 on FSB for my hopeful Goal of 3500.

Check the link out and watch the video, If you've not already seen it. It's a must see!! http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20021216/p4_41-03.html You will have pause vid. a few times to see the bios screens. My setup will be exactly like the Iceman's// memory, vid card, and asus mb. Prometeia...

I,m currently building a system with the Prometeia Phase cooler with/ Corsair pc3200 cas2/asus p4g8x mb. My question is which chip will yield the best OC results? The p4 2.6 400fsb has multiplier of 26x100=2600,which if changed to 133 will be 3458mhz but, believe that the fsb will not go much...
