I have my prescott 2.4a running at 183fsb 3.3ghz rock stable (gaming on it for 12hours straight without a single hitch)
The system specs is as follows
Intel Pentium 4 2.4a @ 3.3ghz stock voltage
MSI PT880 Neo-FSR
1gig Crucial 3200 DDR
So far on stock cooling ive only tested it at 3.3ghz rock stable. Right now i have a CNPS7000b-CU cooling it right now testing at 191fsb 3.43ghz stock voltage. @ 192fsb and higher, system immediately crashes after a few minutes on stock voltage (testing using ATiTool to bring up cpu load)
I was wondering if I can stay with air cooling, and not have to use liquid to get to 3.6ghz (for anyone who has the same chip thats clocked past 3.4ghz) I was looking at the Thermalright XP-90 for better cooling, think it'll help?
