i have a serious problem, other then i purchased this combo at Outpost.com... i have been trying to 2 days to get this combo to post, and finally i was able to do it (i have never had this type of problem before). i had to connect the 4pin pentium power connector along with the normal power connector to the MB, and finally it posted. i am using PNY PC2700 memory (i dont want to overclock). i went into the bios and set the FSB to 166, and rebooted. i put in my windows xp cd, and waited to reboot. well, the computer shut down on it own, and a little light on the mother board was light, it was a thermal protection light. cant find any info in the FIC manual, but i assume that the CPU was cooking. i am using a Retail version, with its included heatsink and fan. the heatsink was very hot to the touch.
since i purchased this as a bundle, i assumed that the combo would work together. i went on the FIC web site, and looked that the capatibility list for this MB, and the XP2600+ (333fsb) was excluded from it. the 266 version was on there, and many other 333fsb processors, but not the XP2600+(333fsb). i have never cooked a processor, and dont want to start now, so am i doing anything wrong? or are the process and thermal temp sensor not working together properly? meaning, although the unit seems to running really hot, is that normanl for a cpu running at 333fsb (really 166).
