I have an Abit KT7A with a 1.2 gig Tbird being shipped to me. They are bundled with a Silver Orb. They'll be going into an Antex sx830 case. I had originally not planned to overclock, but after lurking here awhile I'm asking myself why not.
I am not looking for a huge wallop of extra speed and in fact the noise factor is really more important to me than the speed. But I thought I should be able to get up to around 1.3 gigs without requiring super extraordinary efforts.
From everything I've read, I gather that the Silver Orb will be only an adequate solution for running at 1.2 and probably inadequate for overclocking. I was thinking of ordering the Alpha 6035 w/Delta grill and some Arctic Silver from KD Computers (here).
Bearing in mind that I'm more concerned about noise than speed, does this sound like a good solution? Any other suggestions (hopefully as good but less $$$$)? Or is the Silver Orb good enough?
I've never tried assembling a PC before, much less overclocking, and I'd appreciate very much any advice.
