OverClocking guide
Read anything and everything till you feel confident you understand,
Then go for it.

i have an asus a8n sli premium, AMD athlon 3500+(venice), Gainward 7900gt and ipq turbo ram . i have been told that it has great overclocking potential but am unsnsur how to. if i overclock do i need to get after markte cooling devices? any help would be welcom.

If you're not interested in overclocking too high, the stock heatsink will do, but it doesn't hurt to get a good aftermarket cooler. I personally find the Zalman VF700-Cu to be very good, and there's no reason to think why the newer V900-Cu isn't better.

It doesn't vent out, so good airflow within the case helps. Apparently if you had good airflow within the case, performance is better than arctic silencer according to some reviews I read.
