AthlonXP 1600+ @ 2100 + speeds help

Hi all I just got a AGOIA Week 20 2002 with a W. I just wanted to let you know that this is my first succesull post at 1.75ghz 1.9v.

One problem according to the Epox boards on die thermositer it is at 60c with water cooling I already checked to see that my water block was properly installed and it is. Is this an ok temp? HOpefully its just the AS2 woking in.

Well im off to do some stability testing wish me luck

Did some research on the Epox 8k3a+ on die thermositer readings pretty much everyone gets really hight temps with it. With the In socket thermositer i get 30-35 c now it's leveled off at 50 idle 60 load 1.75ghz 1.9 v. I will try to get some AS3 soon and try that. May have to Either go down to 1.7 1.9. Because 1.75 is not quite stable still a very nice OC Though. Definitly gonna unlock this puppy tommorrow

You're right about the Epox board -- from what I've heard, the on-die temperature will measure quite a bit higher. So I wouldn't worry about a 60C die reading. Also, don't worry about applying AS3 vs AS2 -- if you feel like giving it a shot, go for it, but don't expect much. Make sure you take good measurements so you can try the AS2 again if need be. My AS3 does the job, but it seems it's inferior to the oem paste on my GF4 GPU.

PS Can you plz post stable overclocks/voltages? I'd like to see what your cpu can do. My XP1600+ went to 1.6GHz on air and default voltage. I had one error at 1.66GHz and 1.775v, so I went to 1.8v, but I'm not sure it was a cpu oc error. I'm going to push higher once I get faster ram (no more multipliers).
