What's A Good Fan And Ram Should I Get?

[Monkeee]

what fans should i get if i'm OCing a 2500 to a 3200?

and is this (http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=19-103-379&depa=0&manufactory=BROWSE) over clockable?

my friend said that Amd XP, 99.99% will be made after week 39, so it is locked and can not be overclocked unless it is a Mobile model.

That processor already comes with a heatsink and fan. The multiplier is locked but if you have a halfway decent motherboard you can still change the FSB. By making the FSB 200, you will have effectively made the 2500+ a 3200+. If you plan on doing this you obviously need PC3200RAM, crucial and crossair is always the best.

yes that processor, a good mobo like the abit nf7-s or something is great, try to get nforce 2 chipset, and some pc3200 ram.
then, although the multiplier is locked, u can overclock it to 3200+ speeds.

some people, one that i can think of, has\have had trouble getting it to 3200+ speeds...but millions of people have got it to work so don't let that get u down.

either way a 3200+ will give very very little better performance over the 2500+ anyway.

is this a good choice for a motherboard (http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=13-127-166&depa=0&manufactory=BROWSE)
and Ram (http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=20-145-451&depa=0&manufactory=BROWSE) for overclocking and stuff :unsure:

if you think other ram or motherboard is better please tell me :01:

[Virtualbody1234]

Both are good choices. I can't say anything against them.

[tesco]

yep looks like great choices. :)

So if your going to overclock a FSB333 to a 400FSB dont you need a 400FSB mobo? or can you stick with a FSB333 and o/c there?

Both are excellent products!
You should have no trouble whatsoever getting to 3200+ or even higher speeds.

It makes good sense to get a 400FSB mobo.

You may be able to do it with a 333FSB mopbo, but then you are overclocking the chipset too. Why bother when 400FSB chipset mobo's are about the same price anyway?

I am using Abit KV7 mobo and 2x256mb pc2100/266mhz. so i need pc3200 for better OCing?

Well your PC2100 ram is running at 266Mhz
to oc to 3200+ speeds, your ram will run at 400Mhz, so that's quite a heafty OC on your ram, probably won't be able to handle it.
New Ram would be a good choice.

you make me sound like i'm the only person in the world that can't go to 3200+...

i can, just not stable

hey it's better than your "you can overclock easily to 3200+" line

great mobo and ram. nothing bad bout either. although ur ram might be overkill. i oc fine with some crappy samsung infineon ram and it's been at this speed for over 6 months with no probs. unless u really need tight timings, u can same some $$ for something else
