Greetings cooling pro and overclockers..

I am getting a new rig but i am not very sure with the cooling stuff so i decided to create this thread..

BUDGET IS 1300 including casing.. Casing preferable a mid casing lian li..

Before i start this I would like to ask a question first..

1) will i void my gc warranty if i replace with third party cooler?
2) will i void my processor and proc. heat sink warranty if thermal paste n lapping is used on them.
My estimate spec .

1) Q6600 overclock - 3.0 GHZ .. if can?
2) not sure .. preferably a gigabye 550 dolar model.. forgot name.
3) 4870 - ati mini oven don't feel good overclocking it..


No wc pls ... Pls recommend stuff which is available in lowyat..

Pls include the folowing item in ur recommendation

1) NB heat sink
2) processor hs (if lapping is voiding the warranty ... pls choose hs which are nicely cut by machine ) ..... n pls don't block the damn ram slot.. going 4 gb
3) casing
4) FAn adjust according casing..
5) Graphc card third party heat sink only if warranty is not voided..
6) thermal paste if warranty is not voided ^.^
7) capacitor heat sink
Warning: If my rig burn i will kill u ... (jk )

to moderators: I know i got a request for recommendation thread in another forum.. But it seems all the cooling pros are in here ... i don't get the answers i want in there..

THANKS IN ADVANCE
