Hey Funk Whaddya think? overkill? I'm not the most experienced oc'er here, I hope those people will chime in. The consensus here is that if your only going to 450mhz the boxed 300a cooling will suffice. If your going to try for higher speeds, with increased risk of heat related damage to cpu, vid,hdd than better cooling solutions may be advisable. heatsink-guide.com is a good cooling only site for serious oc'ing. If this is for your trading machine I would say go to 450 with the included heatsink on the 300a and keep on eye on your cpu temps with a hardwaremonitor just so you know whats going on temp wise. I don't think trying to push the limits with your daily workhorse is advisable. Then again for successful traders such as yourself where money is not a problem<gg> you can't overcool so the celeron sandwich my be overkill but not overcool <g> There are vendors who sell bundles of memory/ mb/ cpu with added third party cooling ....pcnut.com is one. This may be the way to go if you want to keep shipping costs down. And their bundles are proven reliable and appropriate packages. Noticed a folder on Anands General BBS Where is that? anandtech.net Ok general hardware review site.... excellent technology articles....popular BBS also look at....http://www.tomshardware.com/ and bxboards.pair.com Clarence
