Yes, tis true Sirs and Madams.... I've been able to achieve 1.95GHz on air with nothing but an Al heatsink and a lot of air! (And a vmod on the 8-KHA+ to get the core up to 1.9v...)
Just installed in my dad's case... the first time this CPU has not been on water... but it's doing just fine with...
The most crazy combination 'tis... an inhell tualatin HSF with a secondary zalman 92mm fan feeding air at full speed to the nidec fan! (Case open)
41C idle
50C maxload
1.53GHz XP 1800+ TbredA @ 1.95GHz XP 2350+ (156*12.5) -- 1.9v (stable)
166*12 2.0GHz 2400+ (boots but freezes at the desktop, not a mem prob, will run @ 175 forever with lower CPU speed; a temp prob I think)
512MB 266MHz CL2.5 DDR @ 2.5, 2-2-6, 312MHz -- 2.9v
Antec 350W SmartPower PSU
64MB Ti 4200 -- not OCd yet, feel like there is an interface problem...
and 5 PCI slots filled!
Will get 3dmark2001se installed soon... the network's all f-d up so sorry for the delays
