After a lot of looking into in ive come the conclusion that my GFX problems are part overheating and power supply is not powerfull enough to run my card, when it clocks to full speed and voltage my comp crashes. So i decided to get a few upgrades and im gonna do a small OC aswell if all goes well, need to learn about that first tho..

PSU - http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=664337 - £55.21

Case - http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=584953 - £34.60

Fans - http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=147112 - £4.69 x2

CPU Cooler - http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=340993 £11.48.

I was going to get myself an Antec Nine Hundred but i just dont have the money for that case, but having read reviews on this little beuty its meant to be pretty mean when it comes to cooling. So fingers crossed, some feedback on what i got would be nice.

Ye i looked at the 300, my g/f's bro has the 900 and its pretty decent, only thing is tryin to clean the fans on it is terrible, the top fan is a c*nt to get to and i just dont like the closed off look of the 300 model, it looks like it could be even more annoying, where are this one is basically the whole side case and looks easy to clean.I have ordered this as the reviews i have read on it are pretty decent, + it have a on/off and fan control on the big 32cm fan so if it does ever get to warm i can just wack that up. I will get my stuff tommorow, so ive been testing my system temps with SpeedFan running Prime95 stress test, just to get a basis on how much it cools my system. I was a tad worried at the temp my CPU went to after 10 mins of running it tho, it hit 64 from roughly 45 idle.

Just to ask, has anyone OC'd a X4200 on a Asus A8R32 MVP Deluxe? I have never done it before, but im looking to squeeze as much out of my system as i can just now as i dont feel like upgrading till better models and the prices come down on the phenom and to see if they throw anythin else amazing out there. I have read many people getting to 2.7GHZ with ease on this board, It had a Auto OC feature in the BIOS that can OC from 3% to 30%, it tryed the 30% OC and it booted up, i just didnt want to run it for any length of time due to CPU temps and case temps, I just dont know anythin about RAM timings or anythin like that >.<, all i know is higher FBS or in my case HTT and lower multiplyer is the best way to OC. Some feedback on this would be much appriciated.

Dano - Thats a pretty nice heatsink, it skin you about £20? I was acutally gonna get this - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-039-TR

But my g/f's bro had it and its ****ing HUGE!!!, its nearly bursting out of him Antec 900, and thats a nice big case with a lot of space, so i was a tad worried about it fitting, and then i relised i didnt want to pay £40 for a cpu cooler haha.

I got everythin in today, got it all set up :D my CPU temps are now 36 idle / 49 full load down from 50 idle 65 full load :D, everythin else has dropped about 20 too, pretty happy with the results tbh, tommorow i might look into OC'in it and see how that works out for me.
