at the moment i do have problems!! when i try and lower the fsb but higher up the multiplier to keep near to the same speed, the darn thing crashes out so badly that im forced to reinstall windows xp!!
everytime i run at 200fsb, the machine is on the edge.. with pcmark 2002 the test with the coloured lines scrolling up the screen, on the second one, no matter what cas settings or latency settings are used, the darn thing crashes and dont do anything.. i just cant seem to find anything stable enough to use the darn thing that much.. it was doing ok @ 2.4ghz but when using sandra and doing the memory benchmark it crashed the machine as well.. i just think it has it in for me!!
i just personnally think that its the board giving me hassle rather than cooling problems, although for the sake of purhaps £10 or what have you, its possibly worth a look in.. :shrug:
thank you so much for the help.. its really nice of you
