[Cory]

What heatsink/fan?

It's not excess speed that's unsafe, it's excess temperature. :D

[Cory]

um i dunno what fan let me know what i should use.

[Cory]

how about a vantec tornado that runs at 4800 rpm and 119 cfm that should keep things cool right?

[Giblet Plus!]

That's the fan. What heatsink?

I would recommend a Thermalright SLK-800U or SLK-900 :)

Have you ever heard a Vantec Tornado run inside a case ?. It sounds like a banshee blowdryer on steroids.

[Cory]

well speed is more important to me. im just curious what i can oc it to

[Cory]

im gonna use a Vantec AeroFlow if that helps it comes with heat sink and fan

2.2 - 2.4 ghz. The bartons seem a bit unpredictable. :p

[Cory]

what do you mean by unpredictable?

[Bigjakkstaffa]

If you take alookit the barton overclocking article at www.hardocp.com you'll see what he means by 'unpredictable', three Barton 2500+'s, same batch, three very different o/c results.

Btw Cory, you said you were hoping for 2800Mhz in another thread... i seriously doubt that, Giblets prediction is closer the mark

--Jakk:t

[Cory]

i said 2.6-2.8 and that is what im hopping for i will be more than happy with 2.6

[Cory]

well if the barton isnt too good for ocing then how would just a 2800+ tbread do for ocing?

[Giblet Plus!]

Decent. I say go with a XP2100 AIUHB week 302 from www.excaliberpc.com

Mine's coming on Wednesday.

Don't expect more than 2.5 ghz out of any current amd unless you're running phase-change cooling. :p
