Hi all....

I have the following spec:

AMD 3700+ SD
ATI X1800XT 256mb
MSI RD480 Neo 2 Motherboard
2GB Geil Value RAM
Antec 480w Trueblue PSU
WD 160GB HD

i basically need to make the PC as cool as possible before pushing my CPU and GPU any further....

I have two fans which are built into the case....one which is on the top and one in the clear side window....

is this sufficent with overclocking....????

i am also planning the Artic Cooler 64 for the CPU which would help....

DAFT QUESTION....how do i add more/better fans if needed....????

do the cable tidys work in decreasing temperatures....????

any help would be great :D

cheers :)
 
ccable tieing stuff back helps improve airflow. the arctic 64 is a great 939 cooler. If the side fan is blowing on the cpu and/or *** gpu it should be great.

I might suggest to add a fan to the front of the case if possiable. also change the cooler ont eh x1800 as it is v.loud on not very effective.
 
thanks all....

will go with the cable tidys.... :D

whats a blow hole....???? :rolleyes:

how easy is it to change the GPU cooler....???? and which one would you recommend....????

is the RD480 Neo 2 motherboard bottlenecking my overclock....????

cheers :)

Try and google it for a review......they should have a quick overclocking section before the conclusion, and most of the time they using CPU's like 3000+ venice's or even your 3700+ SD ;)
