Check it out, my 1.13Ghz Tbird underclocked to 1Ghz@1.44V.

It has been really hot lately, and my previously overclocked Tbird was getting temps bordering 55C. To me, that was just unacceptable. Now my Tbird cooled by a pal6035 w/adda 26cfm fan max out at a chilly 38C full load! This is with ambient temp around 29C. My system is perfectly stable, and I don't REALLY need anything faster than 1gig anyway.... or until I finish building my water cooling system.:D

Just a tip for my fellow Southern Californians suffering in the heat...;)
