how much thermal resistance is necessary for a AMD? OCed?

[eLiu]

I am probably getting a 1.2ghz@266 cpu...(tho a 1.0ghz isnt out of the question yet)

anyway, how much thermal resistance do I need? is 0.79 C/W (Celsius/watt) good enough? What if I overclock? Will that still be sufficient?

The unit itself is a "OCZ Glacier2"...which seems to be manufactured by Dynatron...the two prodcuts look identical *confused*

at any rate, tcwo requires that i buy a cooler from them in order to get a 1yr warranty on my cpu (which i want, b/c im not necessarily OCing right away...at least, not yet)

Anyway, if .79 is not enough for an OC (to say, 1.3-1.5), would .5-.6 be? (PC Power and Cooling K1-A: see other thread on HSF unit)

i meant like how powerful of an HSF unit to get 🙂

buuut...that guide will certainly come in handy...as im a n00b in computer building 🙂
