Of course, it’s not much heat, seeing as it’s a pair of old Celeron 366s (Nibby-bait!), and I’m pretty sure my other computers are why I haven’t had to turn the real heat on, but hey.

I miss Abit. The BP6 was a hero for us all (though I had a BX6 Rev 2).

I thought the best value was the 300A, that was crazy overclockable.

Depends on how crazy you’re going, I’m going a bit crazier than 450 MHz. ;)
So, 300As were basically guaranteed 450.
333s could usually hit 500 without too much problem. This is what I really wanted, and I planned on aiming for ~103 FSB or so to get 515.
366s... well, getting over 500 wasn’t guaranteed, but mine with a bit of an overvolt (running at 2.10 V, 2.00 V being the stock voltage) seem to be holding stable at 517...

Serious question, why are erethium and bitcoin miners so worried about electricity cost? Just run it in the winter and heat your house, plus you get your crypto as a bonus!

I had a pair of late 366s which both did 550 no problem.

Jealous, because IIRC mine don’t even make it out of the BIOS at that speed, even at 2.30 V.

A lot of them are running it as a business in server farms, I think, is part of the problem.
