    what else will i need if i over clock this??

    amd athlon 64 3400 2.4ghz.
    2 x 1024mb ddr ram
    256mb radeon graphics card.


    so far, i have the main fan on the cpu.
    i have a fan on the top of the case.
    i have a fan on the removable panel to access my comp.
    and i also have a fan on the motherboard where it says epox.
    and also a fan on my graphics card.

    the thermal display on the mother board alreads FF for some reason??
    i dont know why.
    in my bios it reads that my comp is 37oC
    and that my cpu is at 32oC

    will i need more if i over clock? im not looking to do anything extreme like watercooling on this comp as its a tight budget p.c.
    but i have 2 extra fans that i can install. just not sure about the juice they use up!

    any advice? cheers lads.

    overclocking on the stock hsf isnt really recommended, but those temps you are getting arent bad

    They are BIOS temps. You need to test the temps under load. Download motherboard monitor 5 and Prime95. Run the second torture test on p95 while monitoring the cpu temp with mbm5. About 15 mins should allow it to reach maximum heat.

    the FF on the led display is to say 'Fully Functional'. One of the good things about epox mb's is the LED display on the motherboard, it tells you when there is a problem with a piece of hardware or an overclocking issue, the codes are listed in the mb manual. Say for example your RAM isnt sitting correctly or you forgot to plug in the power connector to the Gfx card.
