I managed to OC my amd 2400+ into a 2600+ by upping the fsb.

But before switching it on, I reversed the air flow on the cooler as Chuck suggested somewhere. When I started, temp under predictor load went up to 60C.

So I reset the fsb but the temp stayed around 57-58C.

Question: could I have upset the "gunk" between cooler and chip?
should I reseat it with as5?
