I want to get my FSB up to 400. I want to know what I change those multiplier dealies in the BIOS to for this to happen. Also is it necesary to get a new CPU fan-heatsink? Here's what I'm running:

ASUS A7N8X Deluxe nForce 2 Motherboard

AMD Athlon XP 'Barton' 2600+ (1.9 Ghz, 333Mhz FSB)

Mushkin 512MB PC3200 DDR-RAM

Yes a new heatsink would be required oto get it running stable. Either a SLK900U or a Zalman 7000A-Cu or 7000A-AlCu would be ideal.

You mean one of these...?

What about the thermaltake volcano 11?

The Zalman fans get better reviews, and I've been recommended Zalman fans before.

Does anyone know if the more expensive all-copper fan cools better than the Aluminum-Copper mix?

Yes they are but you arent pushing your processor THAT far. Unless it's only a question of a few bucks more than sure, why the hell not

I think it's like 12 bucks more so I'll get the cheaper one.

Aw come on man just shell out the extra 12. All copper really is helpuful in the longrun

ugh, Tt. THeir volcano's are pieces of crap. On my sk7 with an 80mm panaflo (two steps below the slk900) I get better temps and half the volume of my mom's cpu which has a volcano 11 in it.
