Your forgetting voltage, which is the big mean gremlin in cooling. When you overclock you up the voltage and with it heat rises. I've tested "AMD Approved" heatsinks rated for 1.5gig.......they didn't cut it on a mere 800mhz T'bird when the voltage is maxxed out. You also need to...
Uh.........no. You?re paying upwards of $170 or more for the cpu but can't spend more than $8 for a heatsink? But to be fair it will do, if you don't play 3 hours of UT, or run SETI/RC5 or other stressing program. I also wouldn't recommend trying to overclock that bad boy with the VolcanoII either.
Here is a review of one of them.
Blue dual review
FWIW the dual looking heatsink is manufactured by Power Cooler in Taiwan. Have no idea about the other two.
There are a bunch of good ones, but the best bang for the buck goes to the copper bottom Taisol 760. With the stock fan it should keep your T'bird cool, if your thinking of overclocking opt for the black label Delta fan.
PIII 600e set manually in bios to 6x133. Bios says at boot its a PIII 800eb. The latest bios (QR?) should identify the 800's, not sure of the 1giger though.
Change any bios settings? Go into the bios and see if you have an option to turn on/off ACPI, if you do turn it on and try again. Older GX1 Dells have that same problem when upgrading to W2k from 95/98, just keeps rebooting over and over and over and over......
Do you have a fan plugged into fan header 1? If not it will beep at you and shut down, it's part of the safety system built into the bios to keep from burning up your processor.
CompUSA PS's reliable? Mined died after a month and a half. Go for Enermax, you won't be sorry. I replaced the PS in my Aopen HX08 with the Enermax, Aopen went in the CompUSA case. The Enermax made the Aopen 300W look generic by comparison.
Most of my fans are robbed from old PS's. While robbing old cases pull the cables that go to the MB from the leds and turbos swithces etc. then splice the two pin connectors to the fan, clips right on the MB's fan headers.
