Using this VANTEC CCK-6035D Copper Heatsink and 38CFM Fan what would be a safe overclock setting to burn my 1.4 TBird at?

Thanks in Advance for any replies!

I dont know if it'S good to overcloak, but I got the same fan on a t-bird 1.2, I've been able to jump it to 1.4 with temp below 65C.


can u give me your current temp, It could help to make an opinion on your question

I'm sorry I can't tell you that because I haven't put the system together yet. I was trying to get an idea at what settings to start off with so as not to fry my chip before I get started. I'm not sure how well this heatsink/fan would handle overclocked settings. Just asking for advise from anyone using this Vantec.

Thanks for the reply!!:)

ok for my little experience with AMd,

I buy my chip boxed, withc mean that I got the 3 year warranty and a fan (CHEAP FAN)

with the Stock Fan, my temp where in the 65C-70C,
with the Vantec 6035D, my temp where in the 55C-60C

I make a hole in the back of my case to add a 80mm fan and now the temp are in the 50C-55C, where 55 is under load (one night of seti)


that's all I can tell

tecrider You shouldn´t overclock your CPU from the star on, put your system together, check your temps, see if everythings works fine, and than you can think about oc...
Try to keep your load temps under 55 degrees...
That number sounds ok for me, but is still a bit on the high side..
Don´t know exactly about the vantec, just try it and have a close eye on your temps at first :cool:

What are the best ways to monitor the Temps? Do I need to install something to monitor the temps and if so what would you recomend? I want to install everything that I may need to overclock.
Silly questions from a newbee setting up!
Thanks:)

Mother Board Monitor is the most common- works well for me. There is a link for Utilities on the "front page" of OC.com, good stuff. Also read through the old posts, etc.

I am relatively new at overclocking, but there is all kinds of good info in the beginners guides and the articles people have written, but here is my first suggestion: build the system the way it came first- don't mod ANYTHING! Burn it in for a couple of days (run seti or folding nonstop) and track your temps and benchmarks. I think this does two things: you'll get a more stable system, and feel even more sense of accomplishment when you get the thing clocked and running cool!

Good luck!

Thank you for the added advice.
That was another question I had on if I should burn it in first and then overclock or do it from the get go?
Thank you again for following up my post!

There is nothing wrong with pushing a little after you have everything in place, and you know that it is functioning correctly, but just like someone stated above, you do not want to overclock right out of the box, always run stock for a while before you overclock. After a few days of burnin I always max it out, and then drop it back down about halfway for a few weeks, and then start inching it up at stock voltage until I get my best O'clock, then ofcourse start increasing your voltage, but please moniter your temps at all times, this can not be stressed enough.
