Actually right now I don't think the NPS is too too stunning heh, but thanks.
I had a motherboard go bad recently (Abit Be6-2) so I'm running a spare Abit
Bx6-2. Due to the lack of FSB speeds (Front side bus) I can only run my
Celeron-2 566MHz at 993MHz where as on the Be6-2 I ran a steady and stable
1065MHz. If you're wondering what I'm using to cool the chip then check this out
=).
I'm using a liquid cooled 72 watt melcor 40mm peltier w/ chilled liquid. The
water is around 60F and the cpu's internal temp (has an on-die temp. sensor)
reads ~10F, the 1.75"x1.75"x1/8" copper block (between the cpu & peltier(helps
to conduct the heat)) register's at about -5F with the thermistor placed on it.

I figure this isn't too bad of a chess box seeing how the cpu only cost about
$100 and the cooler about $50-60. 993MHz seems kind of skimpy and hopefully soon
Abit will be sending me the Be6-2 back so I'll be up at 1065 again.
