Having just aquired a P3 500...... Basically I need a different fan and heatsink on it. Any you can recommend? And where from? I've been looking at the GlobalWin stuff on http://http://www.overclockers.co.uk/

I know several people who have had bad experiences with the overclocking store, but its up to you.

I have a P3 500 running in this machine atm. It started overheating at I7, so a new fan was in order. I bought a GlobalWin FOP32+. Was an absolute bugger to install, and takes up half the case, but fuck me does it keep the thing cool. Running it at 560Mhz atm, temperature stays at 23-26 degrees. Thats both idle and at full CPU usage. I fitted the extra fan they supply to the back of my case, and altho it sounds like an aeroplane taking off when the case is off, my case is like an ice-box atm.

On a side note, I just got my Radeon 64Meg DDR ViVo delivered from OCUK. Fuck me this is an impressive card. The framerates leave my old Rage Fury in the dust (obviously), but the most striking thing is the image quality. I've seen Geffer 2's in action, and altho the framerates were oh-so-slightly higher, the quality was nowhere near what Im getting. On the whole, I am very very impressed.
