Hiya Guys...
I happen to have a spare 939 mobo lying around gathering dust (Abit Fatality SLI) so thought it would be fun to go for a budget system and see how I did overclocking... I've overclocked before, although not for a while, back in the day when the BH6 ruled the roost and we had fun pushing Celeries and PIII550's to silly levels, so a bit rusty.
Basically I'm thinking of picking up a pair of low end 6600's or something like that, and seeing how far I can push them in combination with a second hand Single Core CPU. Ram wise I'll probably go the simple option of Geil Value unless there's a damned good reason not too.
PSU for this project will be a Antec Truepower 350W.
So any thoughts on this little bit of fun?
Be fun to water cool it too - not sure on the budget for that though.
