A good while back in Jan.03 I posted a question for advice on this rig & which P4 Chip to purchase 2.6 or 2.66.
There was some debate as to whether I could Reach 3.5 or 3.6 GHZ with this setup Well, I now have your answer!
I went with the P4 2.66 533FSB, (THANKS FOR THE REPLY'S!)
As with the last system I built, 1 1/2 yrs. ago, within the first 60 days, 3 components failed.
In this case the CPU, MB and Video, All @ The Same Time! (6 Weeks Dealing with ATI!)
After Wty. Replacements and a Different P4 2.66 (SL6DX) and alot of Experimenting,
System Hardware:
Prometeia Phase Cooler
P4 2.66 (SL6DX)
Asus P4G8X Deluxe
Corsair XMS PC3200 256 X 2
Radeon 9700 Pro 128
Maxtor 60GB 7200 RPM
Pioneer Slot DVD
48X24X48 CD-R
Enermax Dual Fan 435 Watt PS
This system runs stable @ 3.4GHZ Day in & Out.
Capable of 3.7 GHZ, but not stable enough to withstand any 3D Burn In Testing without having to OC the Video Card, which I prefer not to do, until I get better cooling than OEM.
Maybe Water Cool the Vid Card later, Im in the process of building a Win 2003 Server & Money's Tight!
Anyway, Thanks Again for Your Input and Support
