I`m running a barton 2500+ Athlon, and want to try and keep the noise down.
My case is a Thermaltake XSazer III, and has two fans blowing from outside
directly onto the CPU location, and a further two suckong air out from the
side of the CPU location. The noiseiest part of the system is the
heatsink/fan I`m using, so I was wondering if a Zalman flower would let me
overclock but still keep the system running happily?

Also, I`ve got a heat related question. I`ve got a temp sensor on the
underneath of the CPU (taped directly onto the chip) which reports temps of
50C running standard speed, or 60C when overclocked to a 3200+. The
heatsink itself is cool to the touch in both cases, but the machine is rock
stable. Is this normal? On my old system, the heatsink was hot all the
time. Is there a problem with my new system, or is this a good sign? :-)
