Congratulations!
a packet of self-adhesive RAM heatsinks to lob onto any suspiciously warm ICs
the RAM itself is already 133mhz.
I didn't mean specifically for the RAM. I thought there might be other ICs that might get a bit toasty, and would be more stable with a bit of cheap cooling.
Ah yes, of course, a mistake in my reading earlier. I agree some cooling for other IC's, particularly those handling the northbridge and southbridge which will be under increased strain on an overclocked system. I see what you mean. :D

I have a better PSU for the task as well, I will probably pick up an extension cable and do the necessary modifications to it when I visit the supplier next. Not too difficult to do.

I have a slight fear that I may need to use an extra power supply to provide the extra kick required to start it. I have another PSU here suitable for the task but intended to keep it as a last resort. It's becoming more and more clear i'll have to use it though.
