Well, got the motherboard and I've started the overclocking.
Right now I've got an XP2100+ (1.74GHz) running at XP3000+ (2.2GHz).
I'm using OCZ PC3200 Basic Series RAM with 2.5 - 4 - 4 - 9 timing.
I've had to bump the voltage on the chipset, RAM, and processor one notch.
So far Prime95 has been running fine along with SETI@Home and Motherboard monitor. Also typing this post right now.
Temps are about 120F fully stressed for the CPU, about 85F in the case. Temps are taken with the socket and on board thermistors. I've got another thermistor stuck into the heatsink thats getting slightly lower temps so I figure they're pretty accurate. Oh yeah, I'm using an Alpha PAL8045 heatsink with 5000rpm 80mm Sunon fan.
