I am rather new to overclocking and want to give it a shot, but I am worried about case/cpu cooling.
My system now is AMD 2500+ Barton, ABIT NF7-S 2.0, 2 Kingston 256MB DDR 400 RAM, Radeon 9600SE. I have a Lian-Li PC60 case with rounded cables and decently bundled wires.
Right now my temps are 30C system, 44C CPU. I notice when I take my front cover, and 2 sides off temps go down atleast 2C
I notice that many people have 44C load temps for their CPU, overclocked, mine is this high stock... Would a new HS/Fan combo fix this?
Would there be anyway to impove airflow in my case? I have the 2 80mm fans in front, 1 in the rear as exhaust and 1 top blow hole exhaust. Would different fans work better than the stock fans?
Im not too good at gathering my thoughts and posting them all at once... Pardon if they seem so scattered and unorganized. Any help is appreciated, please question me if you dont understand what I am asking or info I didnt mention
