I'm thinking of OCing my GPU and CPU, I'm using nTune for the GPU, for the CPU, well the good old Bios tweak way, I want to get it to 3.0 Ghz, will I need a cooling system, I don't want the water cooling system cause it might get messy, what shal I get?
 
Check your temps with Speedfan or another program or check the BIOS temps. If it's above 50C you could blow out the dust from your computer and then check again. I get 44C at max on idle with my current specs.
 
lol yea, he maxes at 44C at 2,027GHz. haha 2,027GHz. man if ANYTHING could get that high.
i think the max was 7ghz in Japan wasn't it? around the speed of light i believe?
see what temps are and what clocks you can get before spending your money, i got mine o/ced 400mhz before i needed to overvolt at all, and voltage is what kills cpu's and creates the most heat.
 
You may be able to get to 3Ghz on the stock cooling, but it all depends. As others have said, watch the temps in the BIOS and SpeedFan, and make sure they dont get too high.
 
Arctic Silver 5 has a good reputation for cooling down CPU's. Don't know how much it costs in Greece though. Oh and fade2green514, it doesn't say 2027GHz it says 2,027GHz which means 2027MHz.

I found Arctic Silver 5 for €5.99 euros here, I also found a water cooling system: ZALMAN Water Block ZM-GWB2 for VGA € 38.90, I'm having second thoughts about buying the water system, if it safe? What shal I get?

I don't know if you need to get water cooling for your video card. And I found this on Zalman's site.
* Notice
This VGA water block is a component for water cooling systems for VGAs and cannot be used independently. It must be used with a water cooling system such as ZALMAN's Reserator 1/Plus Water Cooling System.

Which means you'll have to buy a "full scale" water cooling system too.
 
Try to improve airflow by placing your fans "strategically" or get more fans and put 'em in the right places.
