Good Morning,

I have brought a PC and initally wasn't going to do any other clocking but become a bit more braver and looking to get 3.2 and/or 3.6 with a new HSF. I am concerned though as the case Antec Sonata III may be too small for the one I'm looking at Hyper Z600 Passive Six Heatpipe CPU Cooler, but attached two 120mm fans either side of it as well. This is quite expensive £45 with the fans so just wondering if a, its worth it for the improvement in speeds b, will this HSF will be able to fit in my case and c, should I be looking at any other HSF's or will my stock HSF run the E7200 at 3.6 Ghz (or around that speed)? Please let me know thanks, if u need any additional information let me know.

PS not sure if it matters but ahve a gigabyte P35 S3L motherboard too.

Also how do you lot rate exhaust blowers next to the GPU? I have a lame GPU at mometn 3650 ATI but at Xmas going to get 4870? thinking £3 is a bargin?
 
the exhaust will only work if your card is dumping heat into the case. The 4870 would gain nothing from it. The stock HSF should be good for a fair OC if u used decent thermal paste and applied it properly.
