the story of my overclocking craziness.
having built my computer out of the worst parts of o/cing. namely a ultra small slim micro atx yeong yang case, a 200watt power supply and a ECS motherboard with no voltage tweaks (not to mention it undervolts by about .05 volts), i was already at a disadvantage.
at first it started with a 1.6 willy oem which was well useless
so my first 1.6A a retail box one. ran 2.13 ghz default, but would crash in prime95 unless the case cover was off. it wasnt even hot at the time. So i sell it, and put in a 2ghz willy. 2ghz willy decides to overheat in a summer heatwave in socal.
OR SO I THOUGHT. i take it out and put in a new 1.6 retail willy that i got for $90. It still locks up. then one day no post. One of my generic dimms was dead.
So a new $105 1.6 A oem costa rica, comes from fs/ft forum. I put it in with the retail sink from the 1.6 retail willy. ROCK SOLID prime95. OH MY.
and its running it with integrated video, a 5400rpm drive, and ac 97 sound. deprived that 1.6a is
