I have a stock cooler on my e8500 as the clock 8x485 = 3880 on a Asus p5q Deluxe motherboard and is about to have addressed in a new cooling since my cpu is now on the wrong side of 70 ºC.
It is the first time I try forcing with overclocking. I would like to be able to throw it up over the good side of 4000mhz without my smoke detectors in progress. But as I say, I am only beginner so do not need the wildest of the wild but so there is no need to buy something rubbish when you can throw a tyver top and then get something properly.
My problem is just what should I choose? I would not like to spend a lot of money in new cooling since I have had money thrown after cpu, and new motherboard, RAM so...
My cabinet is the same as this,
ASUS TA-210 - Midi Tower - ATX - no power supply - black, silver
As you can see it is 19cm wide so do not know exactly whether it can cope with a cooler, such as,
Scythe Mugen CPU Cooler
There is 16cm long which otherwise have read in this thread would be good (also for money). In the same line says no mention of internal water cooling (Siberian tiger) which should be ok but I think unfortunately it just exceeds what I can be with the price and so I think that water cooling just seems a bit too * * OEHM "geeky"
Anybody know whether there are other alternatives that could suit me?
