i just put together an new computer using my old athlon 1400 (ayhja) on a soyo dragon ultra with the intent of overclocking it using a thermalright ax-7 and whatever fan was necessary. just to get it started, i have it running at default speed with a no-name 2600 rpm fan, and it runs anywhere form 45-49c. (ambient case temp ~30c). i know this is safe, but imo leaves little headroom for overclocking. can anyone suggest anything? maybe i should reseat the proc? get a better (but still QUIET) fan (suggestions)? thanks folks.
