Alright, in my efforts for a greater overclock, and my current Koolance system showing its age, I think it's about time for some upgrades.
CPU Cooler: Naturally, what cooler am I looking at? SLK-900
$50
CPU Fan: 92mm all the way. But which? Was maybe thinking about this Zalman ZM-F2 38CFM@20dB or 53CFM@36dB (3-pin) here here for $6. Or this Sunon 92mm Fan for 10$: here. 45CFM @ 30db. Any other suggestions?
Northbridge Cooler: Thinking about Thermaltake Crystal Orb for $10. My damn heatsink on the 8RDA+ gets really friggin' hot. May be able to get me up a little bit higher.
Case: Here's where it gets difficult. Thinking about either the Chieftech/Chenming X-Pider: Pic of Aluminum Case or the Chieftech/Chenming Aluminum AX-01BLD seen here
$115.96 vs. 93$ shipped for the cases.
Any suggestions? Lemme know
Oh btw, I plan to be upgrading to a custom water-cooling rig within the next 6 months after this upgrade, with all of this stuff going into a secondary computer, So I don't really know if I should splurge so much on the HSF.
