Just build XP2500 system last night

But I did not expect this.

MSI K7N2 Delta L MS-6570 mainboard
Vantec copper HSF (the 6800rpm one)
2 x 256 PC3200 Geil mem
WinXP pro SP1 (this OS rocks)

I built this last night and today I decided to overclock a little.
Moved the multiplier up from 11 to 12 and left the vcore at 1.65 with
no problem. Temp stayed at 30 C. So I tried 9.5 x 200 (except I picked
10.5 by mistake). So here I am posting this at 10.5 x 200 and a vcore
of 1.65 and a temp of 30 C and no problems. WTF is going on, Sandra
tells me I have an XP3000 and I haven't even bumped the vcore yet.
I'm not sure yet if its rock solid, but I ran 3Dmark2001SE just fine.
I am a very happy guy. My new case looks nice also (it has the window
side with a glowing fan in the middle).

Thats a pretty good overclock, and very cool system with air.

I would expect most of the t'bred b and bartons to do 2.1GHz without
problems, but at a higher temperature than you have.

I have an ASUS KT400 board.

My 2500 is at 12.5 x 167 So I'm currently 2.08Ghz

I'm using a GlobalWIn cooler, which is almost Silent with a 80mm fan
(very nice) - at about 3200RPMs.

My current temp is 56c

My case is an ANTEC 1101SX (standard big-ass case, sold by 5 other
companies) with 2 antec cooling fans in the back.

AFAIK - anything under 60c is fine... since 90c is a blow out for
these CPUs.

I have some HSF quesions which I will post.
