Testing/Benchmarking:
I told myself soon after I bought my Athlon 1GHz, that I would not
overclock it till I got a better HSF than the one I had. Don't get
me wrong, the FOP32-1 is not a bad HSF at all, I just wanted something
a bit more powerful, and that could do a better job of cooling my
CPU under lots of stress and abuse.
Well the time came today when I OC'ed
my CPU with the Thermalright SK-6 with the 60mm Delta fan. I got
it up to 1240Mhz and I stopped at that because I got a BSOD. I did
manage to keep it stable at that for around 45min until I wanted
to get out the graphics program, several browser windows and then
it crashed. The CPU is very stable currently at the 1221MHz that
it is running at. Pictures below:

| This is where I got
it up to 1237.61MHz. And it was Still VERY cool at 71 degress
(F). I was very impressed. |

| This is the SysSoft
Syndra Benchmark for it when it was at 1.24GHz. |
 |
| Currently my CPU is
1000MHz @ 1218.81MHz. |

Idle temps are taken when the computer is
at an idle, and no or very little actions are being performed
by the CPU.

The CPU tested under a 30min time period
with the United Devices Cure Cancer Program and 3Dmark 2001.
This was how the "under load" temperature was obtained.
