What speed do you plan to clock your processor at? Are you overclocking?

 

[icastbigspells]

im not goin to overclock

 

[ShaftedTwice]

Okay, but what speed are you planning to have it at? and, if you know the temperatures, post them here too.

 

[icastbigspells]

i have no idea what the speed cause im build a computer right now

thats thread i have my computer on

 

[ShaftedTwice]

AMD Socket 939 Athlon 64 3500+, 2.2 GHz

hmm, i think some heat sink fans will do the trick. but get a few of them, it is a lot cheaper than a thermal cooler.

 

[icastbigspells]

yeah ok but would 2.2ghz be good for games?

 

[ShaftedTwice]

If its an Athlon 64 3500+, yessir, that is a very good gaming computer.

If you want more stability and feel like you are safe, i would go with thermal.

 

[icastbigspells]

alright i just gotta get 900 more dollars and i will have that computer

 

[ShaftedTwice]

Lotta work ahead of you. and good luck.

 

[Forged]

heh if noise doesn't bother you I would go with a few fans.

 

[icastbigspells]

yeah im probably gonna go with the fans

edit: i just dont feel like building the computer cause i suck with wires

 

[ShaftedTwice]

Ah, its a piece of cake, just look at the wiring on the computer you are using now, and if you get a new motherboard, look at the manual on that.

And yeah, go with the fans.

Everything on the mobo tells you what it does, and it it doesn't the wires probally only atatch to what they are supposed to. But if you are just lazy for $50 your local mom and pop computer store will put it together probally.

Thermal cooler? You mean thermal paste

No it is a diffrent kind of cooling system.

Thermal past isn't to keep your heatsink on...that's what the little metal brackets are for. Thermal paste keeps your processor even cooler. Actually, putting a heatsink on without thermal paste is quite dangerous...because your processor will burn....thats what the paste is for, damn I'm tired.
