I love Gorb After bustin the case off the athlon and removing the heatplate and lapping the orb, my box stays pretty cool 800@950. After a case mod I'm working on, I'm going higher

I ran through his tom's pages it does not look right at all I mean look at the fan he has on the Alpha's a slow sunnon he should know better with out a high speed Y-tech or Delta the Alpha's suck but with they are the best. and he did'nt show a side by side comparision shot of them all togather whats up with that it's like here I compared them all but I'm not going to show ya what I got just tell ya which one I think you should buy

Hi nunyadam,

The HD are 4 IBM 22Gxp 9.1GB 7200rpm.
They are connected to a FastTrack66 in RAID0 array.

The CPU are 2 PIII 600E running @ 800MHz (6x133). Unfortunately, they are not 100% stable under Win2K (Win ME is fine !).
I have read that the cA2 stepping CPU are not good at o'cking.
I might be able to get hold of 2 PIII 650E cB0 stepping. Apparently, these chips are born to run faster than they should !

The heatsink I'm using The FOP 32-1 has to be the best global win to have come out , my temp are very low and they are going lower the bottom is a rough machine finish and a little sanding will push it much lower, that with a copper shim, I am beating , everyone with air cooling, no big fan is needed and it looks cool, sanding the copper and adding Arctic silver will push this down so low that my 1100 Duron beats a tbird 1000 for 76$Duron. The Duron 700 is the best buy in cpu that ever has come out,And the FOP 32-1 is the best heatsink that is out for the money{for that matter -spend more and get the same thing if your very lucky! Current temp 34C at 1.86-volts 1100mz.
