You're buying the wrong chip to overclock. Get a standard XP2500+ or the Mobile chip. You are trying to start out with a chip that already runs 400mhz stock. Not much room there and those chips are way more expensive. Power supply rec's are Fortron Source (350 or Aurora 350) and Thermaltake 420 Pure Power. All about the same price. :smile:

Abit IS7 - 2.8C @ 3.30 - Mushkin PC4000 (2 X 512) - Sapphire 9800Pro - TT 420 watt Pure Power
Samsung 120gb ATA-100 - Maxtor 40gb ATA - 100
Sony DRU-510A - EAT ME MSI!

I got a Thermaltake Silent Boost heatsink/cooler for my XP 2400+. My temps with stock cooler were around 60 C, now with this cooler, around 40 C. The cooler is rated to a 3400+. It may not be the best cooler on the market, but if you want a quiet, relatively cheap, performance cooler, I would check into it. Newegg, has it for around $35. Also, consider getting some Artic Silver thermal paste. As far as PSU, I have an Antec 430 watt, it is very reliable, and provides good stable voltages.

The hyper6 is the best air cooling solution around. Put the second fan on it.
It is heavy,but with the right fans, not very noisy.
