Hi, I want to overclock my 9600EZ, I know how to overclock, but I’d like some info on which heatsink/fans to buy. I want to overclock it pretty well, since the EZ doesn’t really cut it when it comes to today’s games, but I don’t think I’ll volt mod it just yet. I’ve looked around and so far I’ve seen http://www.overclock.co.uk/customer/product.php?productid=16537&cat=413&page=1 http://www.overclock.co.uk/customer/product.php?productid=16900&cat=413&page=1 http://www.overclock.co.uk/customer/product.php?productid=16752&cat=413&page=1 Are any of these decent? I want a heatsink/fan that will leave me some room for reasonably heavy overclocking, any advice on what to buy would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I've read of a few people at another forum who have had good results with the artic cooling solutions which you can get at http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Other_Coolers_57.html Make sure you check out the compatibility. If the EZ is 9600/XT based I think the Revision 3 version is your best bet.
Look into the Giant 3 from I think Thermaltake. Also check out a free OCing tool called ATitool ? from Driverheaven.
I personaly use the GiantII,, i have had it on 3 different cards and all three of them max rite out, but the memory cooling is the hangup with the GiantII that the Giant3 seems to have fixed with the squirl cage fan on the top supplying air-flo to the mem-sinks. Go with the GiantIII you wont regret it,,:grinthumb
