my question...

Master Mind · 10-26-2006, 08:42 AM

i want to overclock my system further, but i cannot due to the heat aspect. so i was thinking about water cooling. is this a good idea? or am i better off going with a better air cooling fans? i want it for the cpu and video card. also with my ram, im havin trouble with it, overclocking and all, it wont let me go over 200mhz without failing. so i was also thinking about going for ddr2, but i dont think my mobo supports it, or does it? if i get ddr2, will it allow me to overclock further as it runs at 800mhz? if the answer to the water cooling is yes, which one can you recommend?

thanks

1)Water cooling systems can get hefty with prices. That would be according to your budget.
2)Additional cooling with fans or other means is one thing to look into when first building a case planned for ocing.
3)There are tweaks for different boards like lowering the fsb in order to bring up the cpu multiplier.
4)That model board will not run DDR2 anything. The fastest memory supported is DDR400 PC3200
5)Being maxed at 400mhz you couldn't run it at 800mhz. DDR2 is for Socket AM2 boards not Socket 939 models.
