I know that p4 1.6a's are the cool overclocking chips now, but I was wondering what kind of success/failure people have had overclocking the XP 1800+. I'll be getting one soon. It will be paired with an Epox 8kha+ and a hhc-001 heatsink. What kind of numbers are possible/should be expected? Thanks for the input.

I've unlocked my 1800+ and so far only overclocked it with multiplier adjustment. It runs happily as a 1900+ at default voltage. However, when I crank it up to a 2000+ it's unstable under full load. It boots into Windows fine and will sit there and idle OK. Kick-up SETI and it'll lock solid within 2 minutes. That's with a V-core of 1.85v, the highest my 8KHA+ will do before modding. Temps: 41C idle, 50C max (@1606 MHz) as recorded by MBM5. Cooler: Noisecontrol Silverado @12v.
