A64 success!

[zodder]

I'm so happy! While I was busy wallowing in sorrow about my Zalman CNPS700 not fitting on my P4 board, I realized "WTH can't I put this on my A64 instead?". Sure enough, after taking off the stock AMD cooler and replacing it with the Zalman, I was able to go from 215 to 220 on my A64 3200 without a hitch! My XMS3200LL is cruising along at 2-2-2-6 (2.85v) and the temps are super, too (36C w/ SETI running). I was always a little bummed that I couldn't reach 2.2ghz, so I'm certainly happy I used my head on this one. I wonder how far it will go now......

Is the Zalman quieter than the stock AMD cooler?

Good job, way to turn the bad situation around. :beer:

It's much quieter than the stock cooler. I was a little afriad to put that massive thing on my mobo, but it attached nicely and works pretty darn well.
