Got a new Barton 2500, Epox 8RDA+, but still have bunch of questions

[pecel]

Hi all,

I'm a newbie in O/C, so bare with me.
I just bought Barton 2500+, EPOX 8RDA+, Vantec Aeroflow, Antec TrueBlue 480.

1. The fans on the Antec TrueBlue 480 is very slow. The RPM on the bios said the RPM = 1600.
Any way I can make it faster? I don't mind little bit louder since my old system is loud as hell
2. I have my old PC2100 Crucial. I have 1 stick 512mb and 256mb. I still want to use it, since I don't have money to buy a good RAM, so could anyone give me suggestion on the BIOS setting with that RAM, please.
3. Do we have to reinstall the program files, application, etc and WinXP after we O/C the computer?
4. What's a typical/common sign if the Windows don't like what we've done with O/C? since I try to O/C my old comp before and Windows update doesn't work
5. I have Logitech Elite Duo Cordless, can it work with Linksys KVM Switch? Since I try before and it won't work Is it suppose not working with KVM switch?
6. What's wrong if KVM Switch only work on 1 comp but doesn't work on the other? Both have the same OS.

I'll update if have more questions.

Thanks.

Not sure if this model is like the other Antec PSUs, but it may have smart fan. This way the fan speed is thermally controlled.

3. Do we have to reinstall the program files, application, etc and WinXP after we O/C the computer?

No, not unless the OS becomes corrupt. Are you doing a fresh install of WinXP with the new components?

4. What's a typical/common sign if the Windows don't like what we've done with O/C? since I try to O/C my old comp before and Windows update doesn't work

Programs crash, OS crashes, OS does not boot

It should work since mine works fine.
