About a month ago I purchased a new P4 2.4C M0 stepping processor from Newegg that suddenly died after about a two week period. I had been running it at a FSB of 250, so it wasn't a case of being stressed to the max, I think it was a case of it just being tired.

So I RMAed it to Newegg and was hopeful to get another M0 stepping in return, but was instead given a 2.4C - D1 Stepping. Let's just say that I was not to thrilled with the returned item, but what the heck I though I would try it.

So I slapped it into my DFI LanParty PRO875B and installed my Kingston HyperX PC-4300 memory and decided to see how far it would go at 1:1 settings.

I'm not sure if this is the limit or not but for now it's a good place to let it sit and burn-in for a while before moving upward. The temps are great and the voltages are stable other than the slight droop in vcore voltage which I can adjust for.

It would help if I posted the correct picture and not the one from the original processor. Sorry about that 8(

Also notice the Vcore voltage is currently 1.584, it will drop to below 1.5 when a load hits it and that is even running a Fortron 550 Watt PSU. So I guess the rumor of the voltage droop on the Lanparty is true.
