No Goup-am I crazy??

[garkman]

I JUST got a 750 K7 OC to 900 from the Overclockerz store OCZ...now I'm using a big almost alpha sized HS & 2 nice Fans on it right now, but I've never been a huge fan of goup-it's been running 3 hours now no probs, give me some input.

Yeah, you're pretty insane. There is not point to getting an Alpha if you are not going to get goop. THe big layer of air in between probably isn't doing your CPU any favors.

You don't need a lot of goop, just a little. Really, don't make me cringe by not doing it.

 

[garkman]

Hehe, part of me didn't goup cause I didn't have any on-hand right now, but when my friend Tetsuo316 started sayin i was crazy it sorta made me wanna prove him wrong...I'll prolly grab some goup within the next couple days here, no worries

That brings me to another question-what goup?? actic silver or something...$$$??? Or is there something that works about as good for much less CA$H? Also..when i OC it to 1gig, yes i really am crazy w/o the goup it posts & goes into windows but after about 2 minutes it reboots...would the goup make me stable @ 1gig? Or do i need to pull more tricks out for that?

i've got some arctic silver on hand, troy. you can use some.


oh and btw...


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I was right! Eat it!

oh yeah, just so everyone knows, he isn't using motherboard monitor or anything to see his temps. now, he is using that "psychic link" that he talked about, but i'm not sure that's as good...

My P3 won't even post at default speed without thermal paste my heatsink isn't super quality, probably isn't extreemly flat.

 

[office boy]

HAHAHA "Psychic Link" now thats knowing your hardware....

 

[garkman]

Over 36 hours...still no locking at all

**50 hours now**

Athlons have a higher tolerance for heat. Your processor can probably handle the extra heat. No biggie.
