Not if the cost for the good heatsink is higher than the differene to the 200MHz faster CPU-model... (which can actually be the case with some coolers).Originally posted by The PIT
It's fun getting a 200 mhz or more just for the cost a good heatsink though.
Still if you've already got the fastest/most expensive CPU-model available at the time,....

Like when I cranked mine up 350mHz, a 70%
OC!... there weren't any cpu's on the market for any $$$ that could do that stock.
Total cost... ~$35... cooling was extra.. but then I made my own so that totaled about another ~$25
Has been rock solid going on two years now

Oh your a funny funny guy Mish! LOL
BTW, thanks Tempest! You've put the fear of trashing his cpu in him... and that's a shame, cause the Athlon is most likely the most indestructable and most overclockable cpu ever made."Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." -- Dr. Seuss
