[nickisonfire]

hi sorry i'm new.. i just recently decided to switch from laptops to desktops.. i bought a hp elite m9077c core 2 quad 2.4ghz.. from what i have read the case is small.. i want to make sure this thing stays cool and i have no idea what size to buy or what is good.. are there any really good or led fans out there .. price range can be up to 60... thanks sorry for sucking

May I ask why you want to upgrade the cooling on a quad-core you're not able to overclock???

 

[RallyMaster]

Fans or heatsinks?

In your case I'd be looking to cool the entire case, if it has room for additional case fans of any sort that is what you want to upgrade.

just for longevity and it would make me feel better on the inside .. i got a 92 mm arctic freezer 7 or 9 or something.. why wouldn't i be able to overclock it?

Manufacturers of prebuilts like Dell, Compac, and HP build and sell their pc with limited bioses so you can't OC, These companies make money because they offer tech support and warranties, as it is they can't keep up with the broken cup holders, can you imagine if they allowed OCing?:laugh:

Err, Dell support guy, I heard on the interwebs that the "eff-s-bee" number should match the "dee-dee-arr" number, so I set it to 800. Now my computer won't start anymore.

Anyway, the cooling you have is fine, I would worry about case fans more.
