I will buy a Abit IT7 which i think have only passive cooling. I plan using air cooling for now (Alpha+Panaflo for CPU.) I also plan overclocking at 166 FSB. Now i know the chipset controls the memory. So if i overclock, it must heat somewhat more.
The questions are:
Will the passive cooling be fine with this overclock? Does it really heat that much? Must i add yet another fan? I Hope not... But i would like to be safe (very stable.) Do you think my objectives are too much for this cooling? Do i have to endure a crying baby turbo fan on my CPU to go from 2.4 to 3GHz?
