So I need a new motherboard, but I figured while Im at it I might as well get a new cpu cooler for overclocking and hard drive just cause mine is too small and slow.
motherboard I just need something basic that can slightly overclock, mabye to about 3ghz. Just one question first. Is there a big difference in performance if I have a pcie2 card in pcie1?
cpu coolerI really have no idea at all. Something to overclock my q6600 and keep it at a good temp. Idle the temps are 36,33,36,33.
Running prime 95 for maybe not even 10min, 2 cores had fire things. The temps were 51, 48 ,51, 48. No way I am going to overclock with this cpu cooler.
So anyone have any good suggestions?
