heya :)
i have a P4 520 (2.8ghz, 800FSB, 1Mb L2 Cache) and i'm wondering what the average OC results are on these kinds of chips. Im orderin a new board next week and at this point it looks like im gonna go with the following
SAPPHIRE 100130VIVOL Radeon X800GTO2 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card - OEM 165.00
PNY Optima 1GB (2 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Unbuffered System Memory Model D21GX53OPT - Retail 84.55
MSI P4N SLI-FI Socket T (LGA 775) ATX Intel Motherboard - OEM 83.99
anyone heard of or ever used this mobo b4? kinda wonderin what its options are as far as OCin goes and such. Lemme know ;)
THanks,
Morgash

*EDIT* BTW my current CPU cooler keeps the pressy at 30C idle 38-39C under full load so i'm gonna continue using it :) its a Foxconn cooler, dont remember model number but its a 92mm 80CFM fan sitting in a cylindrical duct on top of a cylindrically shaped aluminum fin setup thats spirally, lol. blows down into the fins. copper base. not a bad cooler at all with pressy temps like this.

Well my 2.8 ran at 3.5ghz pretty easily. Beyond that it was pretty much limited by my motheboard/ram. Not sure why you would get an OEM motherboard, it's most likely missing all the cables, the backplate, etc. I would probably go with an Asus, or Abit motherboard, they are generaly the best when it comes to P4 overclocking.
