| The cooling of overclocked systems |

| Caused by the higher Core-Voltage more heat will result Later on in this chapter I�ll explain you, on which things you have to look at, regarding that heatproblem. Generally I would say that the normal, standard heatsink of the processor is a makeshift. Those fans are very often underrated. Imagine a system, where a graphiccard, a soundcard, a CD-ROM and a CDRW is built in. Some of that components are connected via ribbon cables. If you are using a closed case the heatsink will soon approach his limits, caused by the limited airflow. The more components are built in, the higher the case-inside-temperature will be. A CPU of modern generation doesn�t blesses the temporal by overheating. Instead of that, it would let the system crash. Thoses symptoms are often mistaken for a wrong system-configuration. Each computer case does have its own airflow chraracteristic. So you can buy many different cases, which are supporting mounting more fans than usual. Later on you�ll find more information about those case-fans. Returning to the CPU-fans I�d like to advise you to guarantee good ventilation. Some of the motherboards supports the showing of the mainboard temperature and the CPU-temperature (possible by using built-in temperatur sensors). (before you are going to buy a new board, take a look on that !!!!) Generally there are two big groups of cooling systems. You can devide it into: a) Direct Cooling Systems and b) Liquid Cooling Systems |
