Overclocking E7500, Cooler Suggestions?

[Ben B]

Hey Guys

Looking to do as the title says, and OC my E7500

I'm running E7500, Asus P5Q SE Plus, 4GB Kingston HyperX, 500GB HDD, ATI Radeon 4870

I'm after a good cooler for the CPU. I have looked at the Freezer Pro 7 as the budget cooler, but I'd like a bit better.

Not too sure about how far I wanna take the CPU, around 3.5Ghz from standard(2.93Ghz) would be lovely

Water cooling isn't an option as I simply cannot afford

So my budget is about £40

Thanks

Ben

I'm running the same chip at 4Ghz with a sub £15 Akasa AK 965.
Spend what you feel you need to.

If your only wanting to go to 3.5ghz on that cpu, the freezer pro is more then fine. Like slug has said he is @4ghz on a cooler thats the same sort of performance as the freezer.

Coolers within budget that includes fan/s so plug and go.

Coolers worth considering if spending that kind of money, but abit more then budget.

Think thats the one to get

33 near enough 5* reviews, its got to be good.

However, a lot of the reviews say its hard to install without cutting yourself, this will be a laugh, lol

Thanks for all the suggestions,

Ben

I bought the Freezer Pro Rev 2, and the MX3 paste.

What steps do I take to apply? Do I need to remove the old paste, if so, how?
