the first words that came to my mind were "uh oh". PIII 1Ghz FRIED!!!!! I even had it running stock speed, voltage and everything. There was a alpha on it, which was on there correctly, and with artic silver compound too

do you think intel will RMA it? it was a retail one and only 2 days out of the box.

hehe, talked em into rma'n it. it's some kind of problem with the Cusl2 and 1ghz and 1.13ghz chips. They do work "sometimes" but there is a risk of it ignoring the set voltage regulator. You can set it to do 1.7v, and it will do what ever the heck it wants
