i am planning on overclocking

nodark · Dec 22, 2003

not if you have hopes of overclocking

spend the money and get something "good" like a thermalright sp97, 947U, 900U, 800U

Bboy_Jon · Dec 22, 2003

can i get some links??

i dont know anything about heatsinks and cpu fans

from both newegg.com and tigerdirect.com

necromanx13x · Dec 22, 2003

If you plan on overlclocking go with a Thermalright heatsink. The best one out right now, which is also brand new is the sp-97 HERE. With that I would either go with a Vantec Tornado, or a Thermaltake SmartCase fan 2, which is what I would go with HERE. Also, you need to get a good quality thermal paste. The best one right now is Artic Silver 5.

gusgizmo · Dec 22, 2003

those dont look like very good heatsinks. you want a copper one if you are gonna overclock. sp-97's are always an excellent choice for amd overclocking. there are also other high quality heatsinks out there for a decent price.

Bboy_Jon · Dec 22, 2003

is htis a good paste??

http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?DEPA=&sumit=Go&description=35-100-009&searchdepa=0

is this a good fan

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-999-612&depa=1

is there any heatsinks that i can get from newegg.com?? cuz i dont want to buy from seperate sites

necromanx13x · Dec 22, 2003

The Artic Silver paste is good but Artic Silver 5 may be a little bit better. The fan is the best one made but its seriously crazy loud. If you dont mind the noise I would go for the 92mm Tornado since it pushes more air. If you dont want to go deaf get the thermaltake smartcase fan 2. If your only getting stuff from newegg get the Thermalright slk-947u heatsink.

Bboy_Jon · Dec 22, 2003

ok hows this arctic 5
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=35-100-007&depa=1

aight heres the heatsink
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProdu...-109-011&catalog=62&manufactory=BROWSE&depa=1

and heres the cpu fan
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProdu...-121-003&catalog=62&manufactory=BROWSE&depa=1

is that good?

necromanx13x · Dec 22, 2003

The artic silver 5 is good. That heatsink is very good but I would go with the 900u or 947 since they put much less pressure on the cpu socket since they are bolt on as compared to the 900a, which just attches with the clip. Also, you know that the fan you have there comes with a heatsink also? Either way, that fan is not good enough for overclocking since it only puts out 38cfm's. If you don't want the noise of the Tornado go with theThermaltake SmartCase Fan 2 which ive mentioned already.

cobray · Dec 22, 2003

Ya get the Thermalright they have the best heatsink for the AMD processor

Bboy_Jon · Dec 22, 2003

well only the tornado fan is at newegg.com, also its a case fan (can they be used as cpu fans?) and i dont want all that noise, so can u find a fan at newegg?
o ooops didnt know it was at newegg.com lol

necromanx13x · Dec 22, 2003

Uh, look at my post above, I have a link for the Thermaltake fan and yes any case fan can be used with that heatsink.

Bboy_Jon · Dec 22, 2003

necromanx13x · Dec 22, 2003

Yup, thats a great setup for overclocking. Good luck with the new parts.

Bboy_Jon · Dec 22, 2003

aight thanx by the way

this case comes with a power supply right?http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?description=11-156-130

necromanx13x · Dec 22, 2003

Yes, it does come with a generic 420W power supply. If youre planning on ocing I would definitely recommend buying a brand name power supply such as a Fortron or an Antec, its definitely worth the extra money.

Bboy_Jon · Dec 22, 2003

ok my total is about $750.00 with a antec power supply (400w and up) it would be another $50+

so ya i dont seriously need it do i?

necromanx13x · Dec 22, 2003

I would seriously consider getting one if you're planning on overclocking. If you want to get some other peoples opinions go to the power supply section.

Bboy_Jon · Dec 22, 2003

well, would i seriously need it though, cuz $750 is way higher than i want to spend

about how high could i oc witht he 420 watt?

necromanx13x · Dec 22, 2003

Since its generic most likely the rails wont be very good at all and therefore it wont be very stable when you raise your voltages. Like I said before, just ask some of the guys in the power supply section about it.
