I've had one's that do 290fsb on air, and then others that wont go over 2.9ghz.

I just spent the last four days building a watercooling system. I will post pictures later. It consists of a flowmaster xt standard kit with a DTEK White Water, and a Hydor L30. Flow is set up this way: pump -> wblock ->res. -> heater core -> pump. Flow is amazing, and my temps never get above 23 c running at 3.7ghz and 1.775 vcore. However, I can't get stable above 3.33 ghz right now. Do you guys think that this is a good overclock or not? Also does prime 95 have a problem (version 3.0) running in windows xp with certain programs open? I ask because I was running at 3.4 ghz and ran prime for 7 hours overnight, and then the next day, I couldnt' run prime for more than 43 mins (dual prime) while watching a movie in Windows Media player. Neways, those are my results, waiting for 3.0 ghz prescott next month for upgrade.
The newer Asus boards undervolt drastically when idle actually, overvolting is a myth based on their older series.Originally posted by Nitro16
1.775v is a lot of voltage even on watercooling, especially on an Asus board which characteristically overvolt a lot. Is this voltage you mention the actual voltage from the readout, or what you selected in the bios? If it is what you selected in the Bios I would assume that you've been running up to 1.8v under load and as high as 1.85v idle, these are dangerous voltages for Northwoods and could have damaged your CPU.

My P4 2.6 is damned nice... still have some headway left in this baby, just need faster than DDR570 RAM (1:1 man!)
The 2.4's and 2.6's seem to offer the "most" in terms of overclocking return, but like any other chips, there are good ones that overclock to the roof and there are bad ones (like my old 2.4C that won't do 2.9).

One of the best overclocking processors I've had, actually.
