Hi folks
I am new to this place and to oc'n so I am looking for some help please.
I have an ic7 max3 board with a p4 2.6 cpu but am using the stock heatsink/fan combo I got with the chip but as I am trying to oc the temps are going up to 50+ and I think it would be good idea to invest in some good cooling.
It would appear that I should get some arctic silver 5 paste yes/no? but as for heatsinks and fans I am fairly unsure. the otes on the board makes it a snug fit for the heatsink so can anyone guide me as to what I should be going for please?
Also the smaller blue heatsink fan on my board covering the chip seems to really be struggling and stops/starts and varies in speed, anyone else have this problem and what should I do to fix it, if that is necessary?
thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer me
