I got this rig back in december with the plan to OC, though it's been a failure. It's a crappy CPU, but i think heat is a big prob too. Ever since i got it and up until now, it boots up at 48c and goes to 56-59c under max load, or when i'm just playing games. I've only tried to OC a few times and that was way back when i got everything. Highest i could possibly get was up to 2.7, and i had to raise the voltage to 1.65. It was unstable though. I still want to OC, I'd like to hit 3ghz...i'd be more than happy with that. Then i can stay with that until i upgrade again 2 years or so down the road. So i guess i'll need better cooling in there...any reccomendations? I'm pretty clueless when it comes to cooling. All i know is i don't want anything noisy.
