Overclocking outside of motherboard

[Doublenature]

So, Ive been reading all this in the thread, and Ive decided to:

1. Get the zalman fan

2. Get the white Alchemy LED

3. Get my card

4. Overclock it

5. ???

6. Profit

 

My thermal pasting (after many hours of opening my case without breaking it. It was STUCK) seems to be enough.

All this is gonna take a while. I havent got the cash for all this, so I shall look for a job.

 

I really want to thank you all for helping me out here. Great advice (as usual).

Also, I wish to say that Im sorry for spamming this part of the forum.

 

If you haven't already purchased the Zalman fan, be sure to check the model # to make sure you either get a fan with no LED color, or one with a color that would match your desired scheme. AFAIK, they have red, blue, and no LED models of the Zalman mentioned above.

 

Havent purchased anything as of yet. I will make sure I get the right one. Cash comes in 27th. Either CPU fan or a laptop cooler. (maybe both if I can afford it).

Good laptop coolers can be as low as $20 on Newegg, but beware the really expensive ones. ($55+ are usually a big ripoff)
