Hi, sorry... Tumpang thread. .cos I posted in the HSF discussion thread but still no replies. ANyways,

Hi,

I'm using a PII 550BE, OC-ed so far using the motherboard's easy-OC switch (MSI 770-C45) to approx. 3.6ghz.. Was wondering what's the best HSF i should use.. I plan to OC further after doing a little more research.. besides, my proc fan's kinda noisy..

I'm leaning towards sunbeam CCF (should be able to fit right?).. Or is there a better recommendation for me? (preferably tower HSF only)

sunbeam's CCF has a fan controller.. does this mean the fan has to be manually adjusted rather than auto-fan adjustment according to proc temp (I think this is how it is cos the stock proc fan gets pretty loud during load)?

Also, will the CCF be too heavy for the mobo?

Is it better to have more air inlet or outlet?

Also, OT a bit, is there any cons for using the motherboard OC switch function?

My PC specs are:-
Proc : PII 550BE oc-ed to 3.6ghz
RAM : 4g kvr
GPU : Palit 4870 dual fan 512MB
PSU : Xigmatek 500w
Casing: CM690

Please advise.. thanks!
