i'd say, since your temps are still pretty low on your CPU, you can probably push that thing a little further, have you toyed with the idea of ocing the 9800XT? i'd like to know how far you can push it. might want to try increasing the FSB on your CPU instead of just changing the multiplier, what kind of thermal paste are you using? you need a fan controller for that tornado, i sure did.

just a few suggestions.

there's a link to a tool for ocing a video card at the bottom of this post, as well as a link to a free imagehosting site.

now that that's out of the way, you can overclock the 200mhz fsb, if you know how, it'll probably be in your motherboard manual somewhere. you may want to invest in some arctic silver 5 for your HS for better conduction. if you plan on increasing the FSB of your cpu, i'd increase it about 5mhz at a time also. but i wouldn't go over about a 225mhz fsb depending on your cooling.

i wouldn't worry about posting pics, just as long as you don't post a whole bunch of them and nothing bad on them, hardware is fine.

if you plan on ocing your video card, start out just increasing the core about 5mhz at a time until you see artifacts, then back it down. then do the same for the memory.

if you plan on increasing the FSB of your cpu, i'd increase it about 5mhz at a time also. but i wouldn't go over about a 225mhz fsb depending on your cooling.

do you know how to OC ur CPU?

just up the FSB like the above poster has said by increments of 5Mhz

if u start to see instability in windows (or if u dont get into windows) up the CPU Vcore by 0.05 at a time to see if it gets anymore stable
keep doing this until u reach a CPU Vcore of 1.8 or so b/c thats the most u wanna push on air cooling
keep a close eye on temps (below 65C is good ) and have fun

as for another cooler, the Zalman CNPS 7000A-AlCu is great and practically silent

Hey man, Im Interested in gettin those wire loom type of sleeving. My q is where can I get some? I looked at ace hardware and can't find them.

Check out your local auto parts store. Split loom is carried in almost every color/length/diameter you could want....even neon and chrome
