How high can I go and what do I switch to?

Storm-Shadow · Aug 11, 2003

I'm in the process of building a rig that will use an Asus P4P800 Deluxe mobo & 2.4C cpu.

How high can I clock the cpu using stock Intel fan/heatsink?

Staying with air cooled, what is the next best solution? I like the look and specs of the Vantech AreoFlow, but, I'm new to all this.

This is my first try at "The Dark Arts of OC'ing"

Feel free to ask questions or give any advice/comments. Thanks for your time!!!

The stock heat sink and fan stinks...And you would be a lot better served to pony up the duckies for a Swiftech MCX 4000 fitted with a 92m/m fan...They are my weapon of choice for P-4's...If you have any intention of overclocking the Vantec Aeroflow is certainly way down the list of heat sink, fan combinations that I would recommend...I hate clips and the stock plastic junk...Do yourself a favor and pony up the duckies for the Swifty...

anyone else?

my "weapon of choice" would be the Thermalright SLK 800 or 900...

And let me throw in my vote for the Zalman CNPS7000-Cu. Cool and quiet, and relatively cheap because it comes with a built-in fan.

GREAT

every chip is different, thus no definite answer thus no answer at all

my preferred would be SLK-any and smartfanII

hmmm,

i like to think of this more like pushing technology's limit...since there is no "sorcery" involved

Ya, but, Dark Art sounds much cooler.

Hookem · Aug 13, 2003

It is a coin toss between the MCX 4000 or the SLK 900 either one is about as good as it gets for air cooling solutions using the same fan...

...I like quiet since enduring the 80m/m Delta day's...As in 747 taking off screaming in your ears day's...Either way you can't beat em with a bat...

We were all noobs at some point or another. Here's some heatsink reviews. http://www.overclockers.com/articles373/

If you need any help, don't be afraid to ask. That's why these forums exist.

Thanks for the help folks!!!

Suggestions on brands of fans??

CamH · Aug 13, 2003

Vantec makes the best fans in my opinion.

The Stock heatsink isn't crap. You may be able to get 300mhz out of the stock HS, but it isn't as high as an SLK or Swifty could get you.
