Cool Processor motherboard combination. Altering speeds to alter temp?
Hi,
Main aim, reduce noise.
Method, take out fan.
Victim, CPU fan.
Motherboard, GA-7ZM
CPU, choice of (all AMD socket A):
1000MHz Athlon 200 bus speed.
1800+ AthlonXP 266 bus speed.
2000+ AthlonXP 266 bus speed.
If I whack in the 2000+ and whack the front side bus on the motherboard down to 95 (lowest it will go. 95*2 190 bus speed I presume) what speed will the CPU run at? and will it run cool enough to do without a fan providing I have a dirty great heat sink? (random site says it will take temp range of 0-90 oC) Or will it go bang? or will it melt? Would there be a better combination? (I'm led to believe, if you run a faster processor and a lower speed, it will run cooler and prolong life)
Any ideas?
(server machineish, managed mostly with a 400MHz K6 previous, but since then has had upgrades)
Cheers
