Hi,
I have an Epox 8RDA+ mobo, an AMD 2100+ XP chip, a GeForce 4 Ti4400, 2 x 256MB DDR PC2100 (unbranded) RAM.
I have a heatsink and fan that is rated for an AMD 2800+.
an exhaust fan, but the case is off most times anyway.
I need to cool it, the CPU operates at about 45*C and the internal is running at bout 24*C.
What is the first thing I should do to cool it off.
Because I keep trying to overclock but as soon as the FSB goes up to 140Mhz it overheats, I daren't put the voltage up because I am going to kill it off if it goes any hotter.
So please give me some good advice, I don't want to go the road of water cooling or I don't want to spend massive amounts of money either. Because after Christmas I am going to get a new motherboard and new chipset.
Thanks,
James
