Just threw on a pep66 on a TBird 650....

[Viperoni]

Using the thind 60mm Delta of couse.
I'm liking what I'm seeing.
at 788 (105x7.5), 1.85v (Via HM says its 1.91 :Q), it's doing 40c at full load.
And that's WITH AS between the Diode and the chip...
I just hate the clip's extreme looseness, very very non-confidence inspiring.
Oh well, it cools good

 

[Mikewarrior2]

is it a revision 2.0 PEP66?

And, is it a kt7 mb?

Viperoni, I see you are using the same chip as me with about the same
oc'ed speed just wondering if your system locks up at 8x mutiplyer also
but perfectly stable at 7.5x im at 104 fsb and see your at 105. 105 worked ok for me but i went down 1 just for stability's sake

 

[Viperoni]

Mike, it's the first version with the plastic feet ripped out
Kt7-raid mobo

Steven, the CPU hatest the 8x multiplier for some reason!
788 is stable so far....
Haven't tried higher in the 7.5x multiplier

Viperoni,

You may want to tighten hte clip... Original PEP66s do not exert enough clip pressure for socket-a chips.

The Revision 2 clip is much, much better.

How can I tighten the clip???
Maybe adding spacers, won't be easy though.
And I agree, the clip is really lose
Nothing like a fop

 

[Mikewarrior2]

you can try using a pair of pliers to "bend" the clip to tighten it.

Interesting.
Too bad it's a major pain in the arse to get the heatsink off
Gotta pull the mobo tray which means disconnecting all IDE/SCSI/mobo wires
*sigh*

 

[Mikewarrior2]

d'oh.. that sucks....
