Steve H, I suspect that the peltier cooler has aged your P200+ as your CPU has been working under the high heat as the result of peltier cooler that could not dismiss the heat fast enough and generating the extra heat while works. I have failed an Intel 486DX2-66 by using the peltier cooler to overclok to 80Mhz. The system (mobo+CPU+peltier cooler) costed me $550 and failed in two months. After that, I would not buy any peltier coolor. You might want to buy a "professional heat sink" for your system. It should at 1" in height, 2" will be even better, with 1" ball bearing fan. Of course, the heat compound is necessory to help the heat transfer from CPU to heatsink. Visit Brian's 6x86MX ungrade center. Brian has the links to some of most interesting websites about choosing the best heatsinks for real fast systems like we are using. I think that you should be fine to set the jumper to 3.2V to stablize your system at 166Mhz. However, the peltier cooler is still the source of your problem. Get it away ASAP! :-) Fuchi ... who loves Cyrix's innovations Please support the PC industry & protect consumer interest techstocks.com
