Hey everyone,
I'm asking this question beforehand.. since this is my first time building my PC and not all of my parts have arrived yet haha.
(want to clock 3.2ghz to 3.6ghz+)
Anyways I have X4 955 black edition CPU, and a thermaltake v3 black edition case.
Why did I mention the case? Becuase the Thermaltake v3 case is fairly cramped and I've read some reviews about the heatsink barely fitting in the case itself.
If I want to overclock my CPU, would it be safe OCing it with the stock fan it provides?
(I also have some bought thermal compound yesterday..
http://www.amazon.com/Biostar-Diamond-Thermal-Compound-TC-DIAMOND/dp/B000YHCZB6)
It says on the compound for Hi-performance heatsinks.. will it work with stock fans? LOL?
Anyways, will I be able to? or would I best be getting another heatsink for best measures?
If so.. what is it? link would be nice.
This is my MOBO atm, http://www.amazon.com/ASRock-processors-CrossFireX-motherboard-M3A770DE/dp/tech-data/B002LFYYAY/ref=de_a_smtd
Full build if needed
-
win 7 64x
4gb RAM (dual channel 1333 MHz)
1 TB HHD
HIS HD 6850
2x 120mm fan, (one on rear, nearMOBO) (one on front, near HHD)
thermaltake 3v case
amd x4 955 black edition
750w PSU
