Don,

You may want to look at some additional case cooling. Overclocking overheats your CPU and sometimes will not POST if it is too hot, therefore, extra cooling is required. I've installed three additional case fans to help keep the my overclocked system cool. So far things are running well.

Check out the links below for some info:

heatsink-guide.com
computernerd.com

I switched them back last night. Voltage is reading 2.03 vs a 2.0 default. The temperature is running 90 to 95F with the CPU at 300mhz
This seems a bit high to me and could be a problem if and when I overclock to 450mhz. The sticker on the chip said it checked out at 450 with 2.0v
Any thoughts appreciated.


PS - I'll post some more info on how I cooled my system later for those who might be interested.

Regards,
Nick
