Currently my system specs are as follows:
Intel Core 2 duo 6600 @ 2.4 ghz
Corsair ddr2 800 1gb x2
EVGA Nvidia 7950gt
3 fans in the thing, and I'm using the generic cpu fan and heatsink that came with it.
Right now, my GPU Core temps are at 50 or so...while my cpu core temps are around 42ish...I was thinking of upgrading my vid. card to an 8800gt and overclocking my 6600 (Since they are so nice to overclock) to around 3.0ghz but don't want to fry the heck out of my computer. I also haven't overclocked before, but have a friend helping me out with that part of the deal, so no biggie. The question I have is what a good solution is to cooling options. Price right now isn't a problem for me, although I would like to keep it under $100. I'm a noob at this sort of thing, so tips would be greatly appreciated.
As always, thanks for putting up with us noobs.
