Hi
I could really do with some advice. Im very happy with my current system but I am intending on o/c the Cpu and Gcard in the very near future. But I also need the system to be stable.
Mem : 1x512 pc3000
Mobo : Abit kx7-333
Cpu : Xp2000 (Akasa Silver Mountain 2Q)
Gcard : Nvidia gf4 ti4600 (Stock cooler)
At present I have nothing but stock cooling, but I am intending on purchasing the following before overclocking:
Thermaltake G4-VGA Copper cooler & Ramsinks (I read some reviews of this. something im wondering is, is the stock cooler on the nvidia card copper?)
Coolercase Extreme (Modded tower case from overclockers with 4x120mm fans + 2x80mm fans)
Would you guys say this stuff is okay? Im unsure of what is good for the cpu heatsink/fan, but since the thing im using is what i got sent with the cpu i expect there is something better.
The case I use now is very small and the only aid to cooling it supplys is me taking the side of the case off.
CPU temp bounces around 43-47c, reading the forums i get the idea that this is not 'bad' but could be alot better.
My 3dmark2001se score is 111xx with just the bios tweaked. Would there be much improvement on this?
Watercooling is not an option!
Thanks for your time reading this, any links to stuff i can read, links to better suppliers than overclockers.co.uk and any info would be grately appreciated.
