wat if i put one of those pci slot fans in between the video card and some other card?

this would be a part solution, however, you would only be cooling the surface of the card, not the pcb (printed circuit board). the pcb is basically the silicon (and other materials) which makes up the base of the card and the temperature of this rises when you overclock. it's hard to cool the pcb effectively

so in guess i shouldn't overclock my gforce fx 5200?

you should wait and get the card. then see how it performs in the games you want to use. if it's good enough for you, then don't overclock.

if the games are lagging or running badly, think about overclocking, but you should wait and see first

depends on your CPU speed and Ram &#33;

the other guy said that cooling only cools the outside, and not the circuit board thing.

ok so how do you actually overclock your COMPUTER not video card?

just search on google for "overclocking cpu" or "overclocking ram"

it&#39;d take too long to regurgitate a full detailed answer just now
