I am new to overclocking so I thought 3 input fans and two output should provide enough cool air with a silent stream cpu water cooler mounted externally. I used the Ati tool and ran the 9800 PRO at 420/355 and my 2.8 Ghz Prescott at 3.6Ghz. I will say my online gaming americas army was really fun for a change till the 9800 Pro 256 developed permanent horizontal lines. Got another card and I am going to try an AGP cooler from New Egg this time. I am on my third Silent Stream water cooler which somehow sucks in air and stops requiring removal from the Processor 2 or 3 times a week. Since I have and clear plastic case this is a pain, so I put the stock fan back in and it runs as 65 degrees at 3.2 Ghz OC. I like the ABIT IC7G MOBO. Upgrade drivers. I have Corsair 512 PC 3700 with air cooling. Most recommend flashing the 9800 Pro to 9800XT but I don't know how to do it. And I might get another meltdown at 1.65 V. AGP. This VGA card is not fast enough stock for online gaming, unless you like to lose. I wish now I had spent more on a video card. My conclusion, if you have to overclock buy better cooling first.

Duck, I've been following (& correcting) a couple of your posts today, but this one pretty much confirms my suspicion. My conclusion - you don't know what you're doing. Asus A7N8X-X 1800+ @ 8 x 210MHz 512MB PC3200 Asus Ti4200 128MB WinME/WinXP Pro
