joe,
i am also using a dual setup (epox kp6-bs w/ 400 celery's oc'ed to 618mhz). i made an unusual discovery after installing win2000 the other day. in win 98, with the same cpu speed and voltage, my cpu runs much cooler than in win 2000. if fact running seti or prime 95 in coutinuously for 1 hour in win 98 is still cooler than win 2000 @ idle. the curious thing is that win 98 temps vary much more than win 2000 in regaurds to cpu usage. i got a 20c temp diffrence between idle and 100% cpu usage in win 98, and 2c in win2000. i am using a hard mounted termistor on the back of my cpu's, no flakey MB monitor readings.........i am using a closed loop, room temp water cooling system with radiator.
if you have further coments or questions, please e-mail me:
