Alright so I have overclocked my previous setups with no help but now I need some help lol
I'll list my current compnents and tell you what I plan to do
Case
LOGISYS computer Area 51 Black - $35.99
ASUS Crosshair III Formula Motherboard – $199.99
AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4ghz - $179.99
2 GB CRUCIAL Ballistix Tracer DDR3 1600 - $67.99
HITACHI Deskstar HD31000 1TB HDD - $79.99
SUNBEAM 750W PSU - $89.99
XFX HD5770 1gb GPU - $169.99
Arctic Silver 5 – $9.99
Tunig Tower 120 Extreme CPU cooler - $62.99 (Hasn't came yet)
Now I have 4gb of ram
But I run, stock clock speeds
cpu runs 33/46
sb runs 37/42
nb runs 29/34
MB runs 30
I over clocked to where I want to be at with stock cooler
to cpu 4.2ghz HT 2.2ghz and NB 2.6 ghz
and run
CPU 47/53
SB 37/41
NB 34/41
MB 32
I hope the tunig will drop it to 40-43 degrees but it still is high
My cheapo case was just temporary because I just wanted the build
SO what mid/full tower case will be sufficient to bring my temperatures are 40ish on load (no water cooling)
my only req, has to be air cooled
and has to have a clear side and blue fans/no fans
