amd 64 3700+ 939
asus sli premium n force 4
1gb geil ram
120 Gb HDD (maxtor )
hyper 580 psu
geforce 6800

I have found out the temps of the CPU and Mobo using the AI probe thing that came with my mobo, they are 36 degrees for CPU and 34 for Mobo.
As I said I would like to overclock it (therfore its all running stock)

ok i've now found out the temp of my graphics card is 46 degrees, should i get a new cooler for it before overclocking it but the cooler on it already looks quite substantial :confused:

Its a winfast px6800 (geforce 6800) how do i remove that stock cooler and then put on a new Arctic Cooling nVidia 5 (6800 Series) VGA Silencer (HS-009-AR) .
or dont I need to for the moment? I found out that its normally around 41 degrees, it was 46 degrees after playing CS:S, the ambient temperature is 29 degrees if that means anything :confused:

thanks

Thanks,
I know this is a stupid question at this stage but, will I notice an Increase in graphics quality or performance?
Also how do I ground myself before touching anything inside my case?

Thanks

Ok thanks for that, does it matter if the radiator is painted, same with the case?
