Asrock P4VM800, P4 Prescott

Hey, I'm new here and just picked up one of the mugen coolers because my both my stock celeron and pentium 4 fans couldn't keep my CPU under 70-75c during load (the prescotts run excessively hot, hotter than the stock P4 fan/sinks are rated for), and I even have 2 12cm case fans!

Now I'm OCing from 3.0ghz to 3.6ghz and at load with prime 95 I'm stable at 58C, idle I'm at 47-50c. Impressive to say the least! Bizarrely the 3.0ghz prescott also has stock FSB

RAM ratio of 6:5, so you have to overclock to 3.6ghz to get the DRAM running at 200mhz (the FSB is locked). The voltage also does not need to be adjusted for this to run stable.

And, to confirm, the cooler/fan does fit into the mobo, I had to take out the PSU and bend the +4 power connector a little though.
