hey
i have this setup:
E8400 stock clock and cooler
HD 4870
2GB Corsair Dominator DDR2 at stock 1066mhz and 5-5-5-18 timings
i was thinking about getting the OCZ vendetta 2 because:
- no need to remove mobo from case, and considering i dont have any experience dealing with hardware, i wan't to do as "little" as possible
- from reviews it seems like it does its job at keeping the CPU cool very well, without being too expensive
im aiming at a 420mhz FSB speed (~3.8ghz), and underclocking the RAM to whatever speed it would be necessary to have a 4:5 FSBRAM ratio and decrease its timings to 4-4-4-12
you think its a good cooler for the job, good option?
also, will this shorten the life of the CPU? cause i wasn't planning on getting a new one for... i dunno, 4 years?
btw, if you need to know, my power supply is a Corsair VX 550w, im using Vista 64-bit and my mobo is Asus P5Q.
