The fan/sink that I used and still have is a Volano 10,if my memory serves me right.It kept my xp3000 Barton at ok temps though I did upgrade it when I descided to start overclocking.

I think there's a little glitch in Alcohol as that speed wouldn't be possible even with Liquid Nitrogen! I've seen other programs that don't like to be overclocked and give screwy readings before. Usually the program runs all right but the readings it posts are wrong.
I already speak 2 languages but what does ROFL mean?
My Prescott did a meltdown. I bought a new stock Intel cooler for my prescott, but it now overheats to thermal shutdown. The Cooler is correctly installed and properly located inside the MB retaining bracket. It hasn't even been turned on since I removed the Zalman. All the cooling fans are running. It's running at stock 3.0/800, so overclocking isn't the problem. It won't even get past the post before it shuts down. In the setup when doing a cold boot it zooms right to 60C and beyond till it just shuts down. I think the processor is toast I've contacted Intel as it has a 3 year warranty. I guess I'll find out how much truth there is to that 3 year warranty!

theone, sorry to hear that. I think I'd better slow mine down as I'm pretty sure it's out of warranty already.I know this won't make yours better but I did see them on sale at Newegg for $109.
Good luck with Intel!

Great minds think alike. I pulled the battery rather than use the shorting pins to clear the CMOS and it's still the same. I guess I'm about to find out just how good that 3 year warranty is! I've contacted Intel with the problem, and I can assure you that if they won't replace it, that's it for Intel. I won't even keep this one, as nice as it runs. I have burned up one CPU before and it was my mistake, but this is the first one ever that I am asking for a replacement for! Their cooler was defective. A lot is going to depend on how much crap they put me through too!! I have heard a few horror stories about their warranty policies, so we'll see!

@theonejrs,
Are you able to lower the cpu voltage in the bios settings,IE:undervolt the processor to see if that slows the rapid temp increase down?
Maybe flash the bios to a later/earlier version?
Try the cpu on a different board if possible?
Just some suggestions:)

The CPU voltage is at default which is the lowest setting. I didn't flash the BIOS but I did take it out and installed it back in the Dell it originally was in, Thermal shutdown!!!
It's all up to Intel now. I've never asked for a warranty replacement before this even though I could have once before, with a brand new Pentium OverDrive. I incorrectly put a jumper on the wrong terminals, and it fried the CPU. Even it's built in fan would no longer run! It was entirely my fault it burned up so I was honest and ate it! It's now a $150 paperweight on my desk. Like I said, this one wasn't my fault. It was running flawlessly for a couple of hours raging from 32C at idle to 47C loaded and I was setting it up for my roomate when the leg just went snap. It was on my desk so it wasn't kicked or anything like that!

That's almost as bad as Asus PC probe showing my CPU Fan doing 25000rpm!

Circuit City is having a sale..Would appreciate a little feedback on these mem sticks,if anybody does or has used them
Kingston Technologies 512MB DDR SDRAM Desktop Memory (KVR400/512R)
Price was: $89.99
You save: -$25.00
You pay: $64.99
Mail-in rebate(s):-$35.00
Price after rebate:$29.99'
I think I read somewhere,that certain mem reacts differently on diff. mobo
I want to add this to my
Gigabyte GA-K8VM800M W/Semprom 3100+
Also thinking of O/C,although I've never done it before.I don't have a clue as to how to go about O/Cing.Guess ya gotta start somewhere

$65 still sounds a bit much for 512MB RAM even if it is Kingston, so make sure you get that rebate! $30 is pretty good if you do.
However this stuff is better:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145026
If you're OCing, that's what you want. Kingston's pretty good, but for best OC results you want Corsair, OCZ or GelL. at $47 delivered, that isn't exactly bad.
Sempron 3100+s are known to be able to get 2.4Ghz, but for that you will need good RAM. Not sure how far your gigabyte motherboard would manage. You should be good for 20% with any old stuff though, as long as it isn't bargain basement ECS or Elixir stuff.. ugh <shivers>

I don't know anyone who's used that system because I'm in the UK and nobody offers rebates over here. I know newegg are good on their rebates, but I've no idea about Best Buy.

talking about heat lol i should be getting my new case fans tues. so heres how iam going to setup this case
1. iam replacing both case fans front and back with 1200 rpm fans as you know both fans pull the air in and iam thinking the front fan should pull the air in and the back fan should blow the air out along with the Zalman 9500 blowing to the back of the case.the side fan thats mounted on the inside top that blows air out too should be ok like it is.heres the setup of my case
http://www.lian-li.com/Product/Chassis/Middle_Tower/V_Cool/M_V_C_...
and the case fans i ordered
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835185005
if anyone has a better idea shoot away .keep in mind right now at idle my mobo is running 46c to 48c and the CPU is running about 45c to 47c

In at the front, out at the back is a tried and tested system that should work well. Well, it does for me! aD has shortened that first URL so I can't see it, the ... is included in the actual shortcut! While those casefans are expensive, they'll work wonders, high airflow, low noise, ticks both boxes!

well whats happening is the two fans are fighting eachother being the Zalman blowing to the back of the case and the back case fan blowing air in. or how i set it up earlier the Zalman blowing towards the front of the case and the case fan pulling air in too either way its causing the case to hold to much hot air. in which case having both fans the Zalman and the back case fan blow to out (to the back of the case) should work. man i hope so or this setup i have just isnt going to work period
