okay so that mobo and ram with the win. core 3200+

now can you guys answer my questions from my previous post

[nightracer352]

here are the questions again:

how does amd know if you changed the heatsink and fan out for a different one and how do they know if you used different thermal paste

how does amd know if you overclock your cpu

what speed could i get the winchester core 3200+ up to because i have heard the 3500+ cpu's can easily be overclocked to the 3800+ specs

if i do overclock what is the best hs (or hsf) i can get to cool it off

If you need to send it in for whatever reason they might know

again, if you need to send it in for whatever reason and they test it then they might know

It depends on that particular processor.  Each one is made differently and can have varied oc'ing success or none at all.

You can always go the watercooling route which has the best cooling effects but if you don't feel comfortable doing that then the best option (IMO) would be to get a high quality hsf that will support the speeds you want to achieve.
