I took the suggestion of the folks here and went and bought a new heatsink/fan to OC my 2400+ instead of buying a new 2800+barton.

I was told to get an slk-800 but no one in town here carries it and i was too inpatient to go looking for it on the net to order, so the best i found local was a volcano-11.

The "trained technician..person" assured me it was very quiet(laugh)and that it was the mack daddy(compared to the older volc-8&9's)so i picked it up for $40 bucks.

Got home tonight from work and put it in with the sensor it came with under my cpu(what a pain)i could not get a boot(yes it sounded like a f'in 747 just buzzed my bedroom tower)for the life of me so i took the cpu out and ripped the sensor off and unplugged it from the fan altogether, it then booted right up into windows np.

Well now for my first attempt at OC'ing, i reboot and try small increments of 2-3mhz on the fsb(ie 135,137)nothing...had to reset my cmos w/jumper on board, reboot again, i read Drs1771 say once that he never saw a 2400+ that couldnt do 13x166.

I assume 13=clock multiplier & 166=fsb.
I tried it, no luck, no boot, reset cmos again(i dont understand why my board insists on me doing this to get her to boot up normally again.

Anyhow im gonna just run her stock for now and enjoy what i have..pfft..maybe pick up that 2800+ afterall.

I know its me, im not doing somethin right.
Any suggestions on what to do next?
