As I can remember, you have a Northwood on yer P4P800SE. Then it`s fine - the mobo can give up to 1.95V on it.
But with the Prescott it`s the other story. Max voltage you can set and boot your system on is 1.6V (although the max is 1.95V) Setting 1.6125-1.95V on P4P800-SE in BIOS results in 0.9-1.2V in real voltage...

I used some Thermaltake silver cooling paste (don`t know the full name of it...)
Did you measure psu rails? If it is so good why don't you point me to PSU specs (including A on each rail and PSU weight), somehow I can't find them :)
Huh, nice overclock from someone in Latvia :)
Congrats with it, but your PSU is crap, it probably hold you back for reaching few more Mhz out of Prescot core :slap:
And you need better thermal grease for subzero looling like Ceramique Thermal Compound from Arctic Silver

To be honest, don`t know the specs myself. There`s no sticker with the specs at it... Did not measured it EVER (because I don`t know how...)
Weight (exact weight of mine PSU) ~2.2Kg
That Qtec 500W is the equivalent of a no name 350W PSU, even Qtec have stated there PSU rating is a PR system, not a real power rating. We've had them for ages in the UK and they're terrible, the failure rate is far higher than it should be.
If its working for you then great, personally I wouldn't risk it :)
TaPaKaH - you must buy voltmeter to test each rail of your PSU, it cost aprox. 5 to 10 Ls in Latvia :p: And then you can look what can your PSU handle at full load, if +12v rail is jumping up and down, then your PSU is the problem :slap:
And Q-Tec PSU are not good for normal PC not even for overclocking when pushing high :D
What do you expect me to do, then ? To go and buy 1000W monster for a couple of hundreds of $ ? I just don`t have money for all this.
And, if a power supply can handle a FX-57(3.9GHz)+SLI(7800GT@550/1300) without any problems, will it stop my Prescott + 6600GT from Ocing ?
I will measure +12V line today (later) on full load (Pentium630 @ 4.5 + SLI 7800GT @ 500/1200)...
