[pershoot]

installed speedfan for the hell of it and ran it. system froze at scanning ISA bus. cpu did not clock the same afterwards (even a cmos clear did not help). had to do the ol killcmos -> flash -> killcmos -> flash to get it back.

fan on nb w./ velcro is helpin lots. reduced amount of heat gettin to rads internally. man can i hear the intake fan (after cleaning out) and chipset fan slightly. ah well, ill get used to it.

3.82GHZ on fxb-m2rsh. had to increase vdimm slightly to get it to pass after 6.5hrs (i was hoping it wouldn't be CPU-NB volts that needed to go up, and so far don't need to, so thats good..).

3.84 looked good when i left my apartment for work (was 3 hours in to occt). 3.86 no go (increasing vdimm to the next level made pc bounce itself during the night while stressing). 3.9 failed in about ~5 mins of stress at this voltage level, so for sure there is clock room left in this gem of a cpu that i have. maybe ill burn the hell out of it when im ready to upgrade next year, hehe.

i had something strange happen...

i was burning a dvd this morning and must have built up a slight static electricity charge from walking over the area rug in the other room and having my coat on. i went to go open the front panel a lil bit more to check on dvd, and felt a slight shock. video went out for about a half a second (then came back), and dvd failed to burn (i reburned and it went fine) and occt was still going strong. hopefully i didnt ruin any components from that one incident. i gotta remember to always ground myself prior to touching the pc!
