I recently purchased iwill ka266-r mobo, I am curious as to what type of ram to purchase(taking suggestions) and I have a Maxtor DiamondMax 40 gig ultra ata100 hdd. I have v5 5500 agp...My case has 4 80 mm fans 2 pulling in front, 2 pushing air out of the rear. I am thinking about getting a water cooling system so that I can overclock the hell out of the cpu...(open to suggestions on whether or not to get water or air cooling) I want to get at least 1Ghz or higher b4 overclocking, and I keep seeing the name AXIA? What is it? Where do I get em? What do they do?......plz help(P.S. I am new to overclocking...)

Go with water cooling With a pelter that will drop it big time even without apelter water will help out a lot

I'd strongly suggest just going with a good air cooling setup unless you're REALLY up to the extra hassle and money involved in water cooling. If so, great, go ahead and do it, but it will be more trouble (especially if you're new to it). Aircooling is a lot more convenient in a lot of ways, which is why it's the standard method of CPU cooling.

Gabe at Swiftech no longer recommends the use of peltiers with 1.2 gig AMD chips and up. it requires a 140 watt peltier and gives a limited (80MHz) return. Given the need of a second 400 watt power supply, just not cost effective. Best cooling seems to defualt towater-cooling.
