i want to OC

[Main Target]

but im afraid my temps arent the best

im running a

3.0C
A-bit IC7 Max2 Advance
1 gig (512x2) corsair XMS

heres the thing, i guess my idle temp is below average.

idle CPU 45c
and my system is 30c

is that bad? im on stock cooling, im getting a new antec P160 with a panaflo m1a for the rear fan, you think thatll help me CPU temps? im kinda afraid to do a little ocing with a 45c idle temp

suggestions?

yeah, a 45C idle temp isn't a great temp to be overclocking. Wait and see what your temps are when you get your new cooling, and make sure you have good airflow throughout your case... Then you could try and push that cpu a little.

Good luck!
