Cold bug?

[CallumN]

I have been reading around on OC'ing for when i get my opty 165 and heard about the "cold bug". Can anyone enlighten me on what it is?

From what I have read up on it, the cold bug takes affect in some Athlon cpu's when there is extreme cooling, such as dry ice or LN2. It will cause the cpu to think it is overheating (I think) and the not boot properly. So unless you are going to do extreme cooling I wouldn't worry about it.
