I was messing around with my new 8K3A+ and XP1700+ combo yesterday. After installing XP, I tried to OC the FSB to 150 but a problem with the BIOS is preventing that. Sooo, I put the FSB back to default 133mhz and lowered the Voltage to 1.65 just to check it out. I ran 3DMark2K1 a few times with no lockups. Should I run Prime or Ceti to test the stability?

Temps are hovering around 39c at idle with an PAL8045.
