Alright I just got an CUSL2 @ p3 700e (cb0) and I have one stick of CAS 2 certified mushkin pc133
I was wondering if you guys could give me some bios settings, like what I should set the memory timings to. Also what voltage should I not exceed? I plan to try to get this baby to ~1ghz which brings me to my next question:

I was going to put my peltier's cold plate directly on the CPU however I am concerned about condensation even though im using really tight foam surrounds. I have heard of people mounting a heatsink directly on the CPU, then putting the peltier on the heatsink, does this work? I should also mention I have a copper watter jacket all setup from my old computer that I will be adding to this one. Are there any other ways to effectivly mount everything other this the way I had planned:
cpu--> coldplate --> peltier --> waterjacket
Thanks in advance,
~Arctic

Okay...find out if that's CAS 2-2-2 or CAS 2-3-3 or CAS 2-3-2. Then it's simple. Don't go over 1.85v with that CPU, and 1.85 is even pushing it IMHO.

Okay for the Coppermines...there really is no use for peltiers. If you have a good Alpha heatsink with a good powerful fan....you will be just fine. They really do not get hot enough to merit a peltier. Besides, peltiers just suck down the power. I've tried the peltier thing before, and I still have one in fact, but even after sealing everything up, using the foam etc. (this was with a P3 500) I still had some condensation.
