2 Things: PEP66 Prob & 133mhz OCing w/ Raid

[AkumaX]

Rant #1: I have an Alpha PeP66, and used it for a long time on a socket 370 mobo w/ a P3 700mhz -> 933 @ 1.7v. Now when i put it on a slotket, my processor overheated!!! I found out that when i stick it on the slotket, the core is about 1mm away from touching the Pep66!! it doesnt make sense because technically, it shouldn't have been touching while it was on the socket 370 mobo. now should i take off the rubber feet that is detouring the coppermine core from touching the HSF?

Rant #2: I have a Be6-2 v.2 w/ 2 x WD 15gb 7200rpm hds on a celeron 1000mhz ( 10 x 100mhz, from a 667mhz ) @ 1.85v. now, before, i had the P3 700mhz -> 1008mhz @ 1.85v above on a normal hd. now i noticed that i can't go past 128mhz on the same Cpu! ( i get registry errors/repeated back up registry stuff on Win98SE, restart, backup, blah blah blah... ) i thought it would be the video card, but i tried a geforce2pro agp, voodoo3 agp, voodoo3 pci, and still no go. . it took me a while that when i plugged in an old hd w/ an old OS that it booted fine. anyone else have o/cing problems w/ raid?




thanx for wasting a few min of valuable time w/ me . P.S. i remember looking on http://www.abit.com.tw, and i found a bios update for a BH-6 or BX-6 or some BX chipset, and it said support for Coppermine-T!!! now i cant find it.. think the new coppermine-T's will work on our boards?

Do not remove the feet from the PEP66. If you do the hs will be rocking back and forth on the core. You don't want that. What I did was I sanded down the feet until the hs touched the core. Use a flashlight to see if hs properly touches the core.

Rant 1 : Don't remove the rubber. I agreed w/ Seeko to sand down the feet abit. Then a slightly thicker termal grease will do. (Must sand down the feet a abit first).

Rant 2: Ur newer HDD need more power. Try booting w/ default CPU speed (vcore as well) & c if the system booted fine. Then, incrementally up the CPU speed again.
