need some help!

i'm wondering what is a good name cpu fan for athlon oc system ?

[Zerileous]

are you planning to OC?
if so are you planning to push it hard or just up thje FSB a lil?
how much do you want to spend?

Right off the bat i would recomend the thermalright SLK-900 heatsink with a nice sunon fan, or if you dont care aobut noise, get a delta or vantec tornado.

SLK-900 (http://www.svcompucycle.com/noname10.html)

High SFM and high volume sunon (http://www.svcompucycle.com/92vantorfan1.html)

More reasonable noise level, YS-Tech fan (http://www.svcompucycle.com/newys.html)

i just pulled a few links off www.svcompucycle.com
They do a good job and have had noting but good orders from them, check around there are many good sites, this is just the one i usually go to. I can give you better answers when you answer my questions, this is just aobut top of the line.

first thanks for your help.
Second i haven't oc'd yet i want to but i still don't know much about it yet i'm looking for good sites that can teach me.

i will like to get good results not push it where i burn my cpu or my mem. i have athlon 2000+ 512 corsair cooler master hsc-v62 this fan, would this be ok for oc-ing?

slk-900 seems pretty damn expensive.

You could also try the SLK-800, you won't find much of a cooling difference and it is about $15 to $20 less, depending on where you buy from.

Also, if you want more info about overclocking, make sure you check out "Stickies". Here is a link to some General Cooling Stickies (http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=94). Also, check out articles on the Overclockers.Com (http://www.overclockers.com) main page.

to answer your question that cooler will do fine for moderate overclocking.

glue a radiator to it and go.

wow thanks a lot this really helped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
do you know how much my agp frequency should be?i'm using ati 9700 pro card,athlon 2000+
thanks again

Keep your AGP bus as low as possible. Depending on your board, you may be able to get the 1/5 divider.

nerd thanks i have asus a7n8x mb you mean like at 66 mhz? or just set it to auto?

[SiliconX]

The SLK-900 seems to be the HSF of choice for air-clockers. I've seen nothing but great results for it.

Yeah, it's expensive. But IMO, it's worth it for the peace of mind you bought a great cooler for your processor
