The one above and this one look good. I use nVidia though, so I could be of no other help.

You just need to be be very very carefull because they lack temp sensors. Powerstrip is a very good OCing tool

What should i be able to get out of an Asus 800 edeluxe boeard(875) with 2gigs of corsair twinx ddr 500 pro series ram and a P4 3.2 with the 9800XT card?

That wil give you uberness in all respects


if you do oc witch i recomend you don't do you should get a Copper CPU cooler because the 3.2 is going to get very hot wiht ocing

Are either of these any good and if so which one is better.

[Rbstr]

yes but i don't recomend a blower style fans for high prefomrance enviroment, they are nice and quiet and offer some perks but they blow alot less CFM and don't cool as well though if you liek them and its a god price i think its good for some very reasonable OCing work. But if you want realy good cooling check these out

toms hardware guide uses this one alot, and its VERY good.

and i have a Thermaltake Spark 7+ i got from Buy xg for $18 dollars, its not the best out there but its very nice and offers good cooling for reasonable noise(though if i had the money the Zalman there is quiter and better)


also if you get realy into it make a water cooling system if you do it right you can disapate 400 w of heat (a p4 give of around 80, a P4 Presscot will go at 90-100, so you have room for HDD, VGA, and north bridge cooling)

Pwnzed. With the help of this thread, I got my 3dmark 2003 numbers from 154 to 166. And still stable.


Gonna see if I can go even higher tomorrow.

[NoSurrender]

well wow that sucked spee. Anyways Those Blowers are actually better than the regular ones. But, Id go with the zalman over the Jet.

A good copper base with aluminum heat spredders is the best way to go. Use heatsinkfactory.com for usually best stuff.

If your gonna clock up a raddy look into a heatpipe, solid one piece with a fan on it if you can find one. If it doesn't cover the video ram, look for ram heatsinks.

I'm not looking to OC, i never OC anything - I have bad luck with that sort of thing.

[Rbstr]

All copper i better then copper base with Aluminum fins, if its all copper, with skived fins it disapates far better than the aluminum, but the aluminum/copper ones are a bit cheaper if you can't aford a solid Cu one

The best you can do to customize a comp is to build a comp case your-self, if you have the time and money.
One of my friends started a project to build a comp case at his school's hard-ware work-shop. He is taking some sort of work-shop class, so he can get access to the tools that they have.. If you are in school, it might work for u.
