Hi guys finally a forum for Overclockers by Aussie Overclockers .

Ok needs some help any and all is appreciated

System Specs

AMD 2000+ ( oc`ed to 1750mhz 140 fsb)
Gigabyte GA-7VRXP
Fuji 40 gig 7200 rpm HD
Gforce 4 Ti4200 ( oc`ed to 270/500 )

On the cpu is the standard heatsink and fan. Can anyone recomend a fan that is the best for AMD and also where i can get it from ( im in South Aussie )

Also anyone who has similar specs on the same mobo and is getting great speeds i would love to hear from you.

CMCHomer You ought to be able to get that Ti 4200 higher than that. What kind of case cooling do you have? (PS mine runs at 295/630 without any problems)

At the moment i have just the standard case cooling. I will be doing some modding as soon as i find out more info on installing fans . On my mobo i have only two points to install fans 1 for system and 1 for cpu and they are both taken. What i need to know is can you install a fan from the main power eg : the same plug that plugs into your HDD and cdrom`s etc....


Once i know i can start cuting some holes and adding fans . The Gforce 4 also just has a standard fan so i wil look at a fan for that aswell. Trying to find somewhere in Adelaide that sells Thermal Take 7+ over the counter but so far no one has any :(

So thats my dilema ......


The saga will continue :)

In fact, you do not want to add auxillary fans anywhere but through the HD connectors. Get fans with the 4 prong connectors. You can burn out the MB by attaching a fan that draws too much juice. Most suppliers (see the home page of Tweaktown for an excellent choice for fans) will alert you to get a four pin adapter if the fan comes with a 3 pin connection but draws too much power for the motherboard. I recommend that you take no chances with it.

Thanks for the advise. Had a look around in my lunch break but no luck as yet :(

May have to order over the net and wait :(

Stores never have the good products... and if they do they usually charge an arm and a leg (at least they do here :().
