Truth

He has a Athlon 500 and no heatsink on the processor

but he has a big fan not huge one but one for a house room fan aimed inside at the processor
keeps it ok cool
temp is like 55celcius but it works

If what your saying is true, then your friend could probably get alot more out of that processor.

Put a $20 Heat Sink/Fan on it, and it'll probably make a comfortable 650MHz. What motherboard is it plugged into ??

when I get my tbird 800 I am going to run at 150mhz fsb. My 15in fan will help me reach that ;)

a tbird would never run at that, an old classic althon if you're lucky might.

I did it on my 1Ghz t-bird it really works, I don't need a $70 fhs, just a cheap $10 fan from the $.99 store.


everybody should try this at least once, go ahead try it! live it up!!!

Why wouldn't it? Many people run it at 145 or so.

A house fan??? Cooling it to 55 degrees?
I'd have thought you could get a better temperature than that!
But i suppose if it has no heat sink that'd be about right
You could run that pretty high if you pu a good heat sink and fan on it, but kept the big fan there. Depends what your mobo will let you do

Hey you, look at h-oda.com rankings!
Some japanese guys runs athlons at 175 MHZ FSB, pushing the clock at more than 2000 mhz , just with a Pll modification on the motherboard.

Some people may think AmdMeltdown was serious. Please do not do this. Your processor will most likely die.

to AmdMeldown: Although most people will realise that you were joking, some newcomers may not. Perhaps you should include a smilie or some indication that you weren't serious next time.

Hehe, my friend is doing this too. Except his is a K6-2 450 with a heatsink and fan. He still needs a 4 inch fan to cool the system off enough for it to run stable!

COOL!
Which .99$ store did you go to?
I want one!
should I swivel it or keep it pointed on the CPU.
I know! If you're really thrifty you can sit there and blow on the CPU while using your PC. Hold an Ice cube between your mouth and the CPU for MAXIMUM COOLING!
(this is a parody. do not really do this folks!)

yeah. have fun spending $5000 on a supercooling system and lowering the multiplier to like 5.0x

the highest you will go without lowering multiplier on a TBIrd (with air cooling) is like 106. then you have to lower multiplier.
