I found mine on tweakers.net, a dutch site.

But if you look on ebay for code AXMA3000FKT4C you'll see a few pop up, though most are in the US

I haven't built in the MP3000 yet, cause I haven't modded it yet AND I haven't found a 2nd one  yet Sad

I did however, for fun, test the cpu on my Abit NF7-S nForce2 board and was pleasantly suprised that the cpu runs stable @ 2.6Ghz with only 1.725V Vcore, that is 0.05V higher then default, and it ran that on a 400Mhz fsb

Only downside is I can't put my 5500 in that rig cause of the wrong agp voltage Sad

I haven't been able to find a 2nd XP-M3000+ for a normal price, so I'll go and slap 2 2500+ bartons in there.

In the mean time, I bought a really cheap watercooling case, Koolance for socket A, I put my XP-M3000+ on my NF7-S board to test and she runs 2500Mhz at the moment @ 1.7V vcore

you she runs great, will be doing a few benchmarks, altho I'm bummed I can't put my 5500 in this rig, that would be awesome Smiley

Runs with a Radeon 8500 and Voodoo2 12MB SLI.

I think I will install the 3000+ on the A7M266-D anyway and see how far she'll go on that board, and when I ever do find a 2nd one, I'll add it.

Multiplier is unlocked on the 3000+ up to 19x I think where default is 16 if I'm not mistaken.

To solve that I bought me a nice mint, boxed, V5 PCI  Cool

I can put that even in my Core i7 system as I was smart enough to find me a motherboard with good old PCI slots on it still  Wink

Haven't done that yet though, been working on other things.

I'd love to have a PCI 5500, but the only ones I've been able to find are too expensive.

Cheapest I've been able to find is like 50 euros and I don't wanna pay that for it. I know it's worth it, but still.....Smiley

I found this 5500AGP for 17 euros, so....Cheesy

I paid quite a bit more for it, but it was worth every penny ! I wonder what she'll do in my Core i7 rig ...

probably overheat. LOL

I on the other hand am not so lucky......I had the cpu running at 2.5Ghz and went for a dogwalk. when I came back, the machine was off and I felt wetness at the bottom of the case.  Angry
And sure enough, it wouldn't start, not even out of the case and with aircooler.

Lucky for me I also have an Epox 8RDA+ nForce2 board, so I put the cpu and ram on there and lucky for me she runs again, so it seems only the mainboard is screwed. Sad

The board I don't mind so much but I need to know where the leak is so I can fix it.

Just feed power to the pump only and let it run for half an hour or so. I'm sure you'll see it Wink

My Core i7 is also watercooled (Highflow.nl). The setup now is about 2 years old, never had a leak, never needed maintenance

.... yet
