the reason alpha puts the fan shroud on their heatsinks:(

[tcul72]

i took the fan shroud off of my alpha h/s to see if i got better cooling. but i didn't notice after i tightened the fan screws that they went all the way through the h/s(holding the h/s off the cpu http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/frown.gif) my duron 650@950 fried in a matter of seconds...but all is well i got a duron 700 for 30 dollars cheaper than i paid for the 650 2 months ago.it isn't unlocked like my 650 was, but because of the hundred posts about the pencil trick i knew what to do http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif 900 stable now, gonna go for 1 gig soon http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

I screwed the screws in to far one day about two weeks ago, I was just changing the fan and wasnt paying attention. I did it while the heatsink was still clipped down to the cpu. And just like you said, my 1100 T-bird Fryed in seconds. Bummer deal!!

and with your 1000
**** how fast was your pc with 1275 mhz?
where do you think I should buy my giga tbird and a very good fan?
hey how did that guy got his cpu to 1350mhz?
arent the multipliers locked at 12.5?

MOFO,as far as the guy getting 1350 he set his multiplier to 12.5 and FSB to 108. This gives you 12.5x108=1350.
