Oc guide 1,8 => 2,5 p4 nw

[JohnDoemakt]

I'm going to buy a p4 1,8a nw system with watercooling,
2x 256 rdram.

Could someone write a list of the motherboard, cpu, and
watercooling i chould buy.

I want the system to run at about 2,5-2,7.

If someone has other tips about HOW to oc this system,
please write a coment.

don't know about watercooling but you may not need it to overclock to 2.5Ghz.

Good advice here, you won't need water cooling unless you're going for extreme overclocking. Those 1.8a Northies will do 2.4 gig fairly easily with good air cooling. Even 2.5 and maybe even 2.6 gig is probably within reach if you use a Swiftech MCX478 cooler and happen to get a good chip.

Btw . I don't want a noisy system, and therefore i go for
watercooling. (and i want 2,7 ghz)

Please help me a bit more.
How should I OC it, and how much?

What geforce 3 card should i buy, and what watercooling
set is the best (read cheapest)

DangerDen Maze 3 Watercooling Kit w/ P4 Mounting system.

When I read Innovatek's review, they were using a 6 socket lug hold down, so I'm not sure if that is P4 compliant so I suggested a Maze3 kit which I know is.

You get 512mb of ram but in sticks of 128 (Easier to overclocking). Reason being is because the RAM might hold you back abit as RDRam doesn't really like high FSBs, so I'm trying to cram you the most juice possible. There's also no reason to go above 512mb unless your fully utilizing it.

If you want water cooling, then Yodums told you good advice about DangerDen. Try posting in the Vid card section for info on that. If you go with the Abit TH7-II (which is one of the better overclockers for the Northy), lots of us have that board and there's lots of info in the Abit section of the Intel motherboard forum. As for RAM, there are two schools of thought. The Samsung 128 meg modules seem to be the best overclockers and run the coolest, but sometimes it's not the best to fill up all four RIMM slots with RDRAM. Two of the newer Samsung 256 meg sticks seem to be a good compromise it you need to have 512 meg total. They run a bit hotter, so a little extra ventilation in that area seems to really help. I added an extra 80mm fan in the side to blow directly at the RAM. This helped me overclock the system higher. Before and after temps plus details of the mod are in one of my posts in the Abit mobo section.
