OK i while back i started a topic about tips for making a NEW computer and now i did... i have the computer and it running Fine... THANKS allot again guys...

the thing is that i bought a Masscool 90mm Hydraulic CPU Cooler at the same time i bought the new Intel CPU w/o knowing that i came with a cooler... So which one should i use? Also i attached the pix..

Ps: i heard that the processor is capalbe of more.. (overclocking) [saw one that does 3.83Ghz?!?!?!] Can you guys provide me with an instrucktion on how to overclock this w/o shortening the life span or damaging it? Intel Pentium E5300 2.6GHz 800MHz Socket 775 Dual-core 45nm Processor.



Thanks ^^



Thanks ^^


[Saving space, attachment deleted by admin]Both coolers should be fine, why don't you stick to the one that came with the processor?

You can't overclock something without degrading the LIFESPAN of the component.
Overclocking increases heat, and ALWAYS reduces the life of the component.

If you want more performance SPEND a few dollars more and purchase faster components. Intel stock coolers are more than adequate...return the other one.Quote from: Quantos on November 06, 2009, 01:06:47 PM

But i updated my bios version and it came with a new menu (AI Overclock) or something like that... and i set it to 20% is that still gonna shorten the life expectancy..
