Hiya all,
I will be building a new system today or tomorrow and I'll be installing a P4 3ghz on a Abit Max 3 board. I'll be using a Coolmaster 210b case and a antec 550watt psu with control panel. Also 1GB of OCZ Dual Channel 3200 DDR memory. Fianlly a Raptor SATA HDD and a Seatgate 80GB SATA HDD with a DVD Re-Writer. I'll be using my old Geforce 4 Ti 4400 until the new radeon cards come out.
My question is this:
I want to dabble into overclocking but I'm unsure if the Intel Heatsink and Fan that comes with the retail version of my P4 will be good enough to cope with overclocking the cpu? I'm pretty sure the system as a whole will be very chilly due to the parts I've bought so I'm pretty hopeful but unsure whether to buy a 3rd party cooling unit for the cpu.
Your advice is much appreciated.
Dave
