Hey everyone I've recently purchased a new machine and would like to overclock the FX-60 to 3.0. Ive never water cooled befor nor have I over clocked befor.

What I am looking to get out of this Post

1. What kind of settings should i use in the bios to reach this goal.
2. what king of cooling should i use
3. If water what type of water cooling kit/parts should I use (links greatly appreciated) to get everything to fit in my case. ( I will post picture)
4. If water will water cooling the Chipset be nessicary in this application? or will the Passive heat pipe solution be suffcient
5 If this can be done with Air cooling can it be done with the Zalman Cooler i allready have its a ZALMAN CNPS7000B

I am running the following[/img]
AMD FX-60
Asus A8n-sli Primium
corsair 3500LLpro (3500) 2-3-2-5 t1
Lian- LI 2000b plus

If i need to go the Water cooling route Im not looking to go CHEEP im looking to go reliable and suffcient.

If you need to know the rest of my hardware let me know here are the pictures of the system to know what you have to work with

You can learn how to overclock first. Then i could trying to overclock it on air to begin with (keeping a check on the temperatures). Then if needed, then go and look into better air or water cooling.
