Overclocking a Palamino core

[payniel]

Yeah, i think i'm just gonna ovclock it up to maybe 2000+ speeds by fsb. ANd i've searched all over for reviews about the heatsinc i bought, and well i have found that some places got really good reviews and others got crappy ones. one of the sites i was readign about it puts it in the performance range of the MX-462 from swiftec.

Buy the cheapest, quietest one you can find - that £10 ebuyer one for expample that Zak had found, perhaps. Its not worth throwing any money at an old palomino as a stock fan is still not going to be much more than a 10% difference over a £50 one.

Peeps used to spend more on them when a) the relative cost of the chip was greater and b) when there was more of a chance you could re-use the fan on onother sockat A processor later.

Thats why i bought the fan i did,(it was 37USD) ,cause when i get off from school i'm gonna get myself a job and prolly buy a 2500

my slk800 with 45cfm fan didnt cool my 2000+ well, so i doubt much else could... my 1700+ at 1.8v at 2.2ghz idled at 43 load with it though
