Right, i am thinking about overclocking my pc, the only thing I wasnt to sure of was the cooling aspect, i.e overclocked CPU=more heat.
What are you ideas/experiences on adding more case fans etc??
Thanks
Jon

Overclocking is a good way to save the money it would cost to upgrade a cpu... I oced my lil Celery 433 up to 541. It's been doin fine for about 6 months now. I added two fans and I leave the sides to my case off to aid with cooling. You'll prolly wanna get a program (I use SiSoft Sandra) to help monitor the temp of your mboard and cpu... and the one I use even has a burn-in wizard that helps you burn in the cpu when you oc it. And the prog's free too, so that's a plus So you'll just wanna play around with the fan config until you get your system runnin stable at a decent temp... lemme know if you think I could help you with anything.

I have a asus motherboard, which comes complete with a temp reading program, plus the folding @ home program puts the cpu under load.
Was just wondering wheather to have bigger/faster fans and where to place them.

if you are looking for computer cooling information or anything related to computer, I highly recommend this site. I am a forum member there as well, under the same handle name, and I go here for all my computer needs.
