These three are worth looking into! I own them all! :p They are the best of the best!
I have a price range at most £100

What cooling would be recommended for something like this.
- Richman
Thats where the problem is... Due to the OTES cooling on that mobo it is dificult to fit some of the realy good ones on it! How much OC do you plan on doing on it? say 3.2, 3.4GHzQuote:

Yea not much really i might even leave it at stock depends how it benchmarks, but i would like to keep it relativly cool.
- Richman
The stock heat sink is quite good! it has a coper slab and aluminum fins, I am now using a Jet 4 from cooler master! It is not that loud and after I used some AS5 on it my temps have droped 10c! but its not the best heat sink out there... If I were you I'd go for a 3Ghz P4 and keep the stock cooling for a while! Then see how it runs, I was able to OC mine to 3.8GHz on stock cooling! ;)
Just a quick one tho, i cant find anywhere that sells the 3.0ghz p4c all they seem to sell are prescotts which i heard run hot
Edit: Is this a p4c chip
- Richman
prescotts! :crazy:Quote:

I dont know if the link will work...
Cheers i think i will stick with the 2.8ghz for now :D

Good price as you said but then i have the problem of trying to keep it cool. I think my origional decision for the 2.8 p4c will be best :cool:Quote:

Thankyou for your help

good choice :) abit make some very good boards - been very happy with my max3, it ran perfectly at 290fsb just fine, shame that 2.4 processor broke :) now running a 3.0 stock on it, still plenty fast enough.
Nox
I run a p4 3.2 @ 225fsb in a std IC7 just fine, but the MAX3 is the dog's danglers.
The Max3 should be just what iam after then and o/c the 2.8ghz p4c should make it a sweet run :D
