How far are you going to overclock? If you are not going to push more than 105% core voltage (i.e. 1.475V and I said voltage not speed) Even at 3Ghz, your system will be cool enough with stock cooler (Although it will get noisy) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPow3r Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 You can do some overclocking with the stock HSF, but for peace of mind I'd go with an XP-90. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgias-Flux Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 I have a very similar setup to yours and I have it comfortably OC'ed to 260*10, but it does get a tad noisy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtrdude485 Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 yea going with the xp-90. seems to be better performing and less noisy that the thermaltake..... now what about fitting on my processor i think it should but the description is a little confusing on newegg.

arthurleung Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 XP-90 is on discount @ SVC, definitely worth getting one (at this price) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
