Hey all just bought a 650 duron bcause i was bored, so now i recieved it and have a few questions.

1-Will this hsf provide enough cooling with arctic silver to be able to up the voltage a couple notches?

2- Those L1 bridges are pretty friggin small if i use a pencil will i have to re apply it again and again?

3-Mobo- i was seriously thinkin about the Epox 8TKA3? good choice i think it is?

4-How high can i go with that 20$ cooler? im gonna try for @ least 850 if not 900.

well thanks all and im glad to join your 3lite ranks. a big thanks also to Tachyon and http://www.warpfactor-e.com/ for the cheap duron.

this system will mainly be a fun project and the end resault will crunch SETI and or F@H and is ment to be a learning experiance for me.

thanks all

That fan looks pretty poochin to me, I think it'll hold, of course you wont know till you try will ya?

Use a #1 pencil on the bridges... some people have had to go back and apply again. You could also try one of those speacial pens they sell.

Never used one of those bards, havn't heard much bout them either.

Who knows how high you can go...

Good Luck, have fun.

If you go with that 8KTA3, let us knnow how it works. For $118.00 (pricewatch) it sure sounds like a good deal.
