fredperry,

My max temps are around 10c with the above clock and voltage.
As for yours at that speed and voltage it does seem a bit High, could be your not seated perfect. Also with useing the Mobo socket probe it can differ, your probe may be up or down from the bottom of the chip resulting in different temps.
The bottom line and result from your cooler is Can your chip overclock very good with it?

that's what we keep asking him... he doesn't respond

can or can you not overclock any higher?
anywayz, we'll be seeing a lot of prometheia results here in the next few weeks as some 6 or seven people in Belgium have one or will get one in the next week or so.

Well, about the oc'ing: something is stopping me, dunno what, maybe my NIC (realtek), vidcard...
but due to my exams I've got little time on my hands (but I'll give it another shot

)

about the temps: my EPoX 8K7A+ is quite old, so prolly it is the mobo socket probe that makes the difference...(at least I hope so

)

what are the evaporator temps reading?

OPP

5th June 2002, 20:37

idling at -31°C, cpu = 6°C, 2.05v Vcore

At -31 and your only at 6c, you should be more like -6c, there has to be a seating problem.

I know, but I tried several things, one of them being putting the evaporator on without any insulation that could be in the way, and put the insulation afterwards on it.
Now the screws can be mounted with extra spacers, now I only received three, and chip-con told me you can use up to five (!).

So my next test will be to put some extra spacers on (if i can find some suitable ones in my local hardware store (metal and wood shop I mean

)

Just be careful you don't f**k up your athlon,
you've been having lots of misfortune these last few days...

I'm quite curious to see what mine will give when I receive it... how many days did you wait once they sent it?
it got sent by UPS this very morning @ 6 am.

5th June 2002, 20:55

about the athlon: chip-con supplied a home-made shim with it, and since I'm a screw-up normally, it's working

And good support from chip-con too, quick, friendly and they know their stuff

It was send the 24th and I got it the 28th (+/-)

I'll tell you about this MX mounting on AMD, acording to the Directions My chip would have made very little contact to the evaportor. I had to tighten it down more, a lot more then spec'd to get good contact.
