1. it depends on how far u gonna try and OC, as a law. i don't recommend to OC with stock. better safe the sorry

2. dear lord man, was that your problem?!?!?!? dame, u should have told me that before. look at madshrimps page 10 tuniq >> ANDY

3. the 2 fans are a thing that can help but also be a bother to the performance. i must see a pic of your cases inside to tell

4. is it a risk? yep for the long term of 5+ years. OC kills the cpu faster the normal use but due to the fact that a cpu can work for several years u won't see any change. stores can't see OC

5. the risk it too gr8 core2 are very very hot cpu's don't risk it

one more thing i must add. i am ashamed in the name of other forum members. non had offered u help except for myself /

u mustn't think bad on them i think it's more likely that the English we use here is the main barrier for them

first of all thanks alot for the help. i apreciate it

here is a picture of the case

now when the fan's racket is closed, there is 13cm to the cpu, i measerd it

one of these fans is controled via a switch in the front of the PSU, i still have the TT cooler that came with the case

if i get andy, it will be very close to these 2 fans

1) how would that affect airflow? could the 2 fans help andy or even makes it worse

so the big questions is, what is beter removing the side fans and getting tuniq tower or keeping the side fans and getting ANDY.

I SEE NO PIC

better get rid of the two fans and use tuniq

im not at my house so i cant get a picture of the interior of my case right now

ive run across this benchmark

http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=8757&page=119

it lists the Scythe MINE as a great cooler, outpreforming the Tuniq tower and CNP9700

http://www.noacomp.co.il/product.asp?productid=7567

what do u think? of it? 1

bechmarks are so different from site to site , apparently there is too much dependent stuff, room temp, thermal paste , case air flow, plaplaplapla

so the tuniq tower is the best option out there? how about big typhoon? and CNP9700? what do u think is the best?

by removing the side fans, ill get beter CPU cooling but ill certainly lose cooling the motherboard since the coolers are just above it? how would that affect? could i get the chipset overheat becouse of it? my board is P5W-DH

thanks

again i really don't know where u reed this info

the page u gave a link to is an overall ranking not thermal performance

u can see here

http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=8757&page=115

the mine is nice but i use the ninja, it's nicer and with a fan its wonderful

there is no way mine >> tuniq i don't know how they did the test but that just wrong

tuniq is a good option but its hard to find it in Israel right now, Thermaltake Big Typ VX is also nice

by removing your side fans temp of mobo can go worse but not to much and the chipset won't overheat

but still if i can get a pic of your case i really can tell u more about how to cool it

thank u

ill get a picture of the case in the weekend

i found pictures of the system:

offcourse they are not my specs. i have the motherboard CPU in my profile and im gonna be buying 8800 in two months
