I used uGuru by Abit to overclock mine. I've never felt real comfortable about it but it has worked.

No.  There is no defeating the on chip thermal protection.  It cannot be altered.  It is a last ditch mechanism and it will allow the CPU to reach high temperatures before cutting in, but it will not allow the CPU to be damaged.

I have demoed this a few times.  Once by accident. :)

You tripped over the HSF cable?   :D

Sorry... couldn't resist.

I wondered what it would be like to be famous, once.  Like the man says, "Careful what you ask for.".

I keep thinking all you old farts will start losing your memory and it will be finally forgotten. OY! :)

Oh well, I'll take your advice and turn off SpeedStep and see how it goes, OC'ed my CPU to 3.0Ghz anyways.

I have an older, 478-pin Prescott, mildly overclocked with both the FSB and voltage bumped up a bit...



I also tuned my DDR2 RAM up a little, and have it set for 2 clocks CAS.
