Overclocking ASUS P5B-E

[PICBoy]

Hello.

I want to know at wich point do I have to make additional cooling to the P5B-E's NB when OCing.

Some people say they have reached 500 MHz FSB. Is this with the stock ASUS fanless heatsink? is it really that good? :Q

Thanks!

I'm interested in hearing what anyone has to say as well... If active NB cooling is necessary, is it better to add it on top of the stock heatpipe/heatsink combo, or simply replace it all together? (don't mean to thread jack..)

you ca try placing a case fan on you vga card and aim it towards the nb heatsink.

Or you can try this: OC the FSB and run some CPU intensive application or benchmark. Then open the case and put your finger on top of the nb heatsink. If you can hold your finger more than 5 seconds, than you don't need additional cooling.

Just buy a 40mm low speed fan and plug it into a molex or your MB, thats what I did.
