It was a week three 2003. I had no problems overclocking it to ~2 GHz - 12 x 166. It ran Prime95 fine for 8 hours or so. I was able to get into windows at 12.5 x 166, but Prime95 wouldn't run.
I used a MSI K7N2G-L board with 2 x 256 Crucial PC 2100.
The CPU temp is 55 C and the system temp is 36 C. (When I was running Prime95, the temp hit ~61 C or so. Does anyone know the max temp the XPs are rated at (I thought it was about 85 C or so)?
I set the core voltage to 1.7V.
I may play with it some more later, but for now I think I'll leave it alone.
