Case: Antec Plusview 1000amg
PSU: 350w smartblue
Mobo: ASUS P4P800 Deluxe
CPU: P4 2.4GHz 800mhz 512cache
Corsair 256mb xms 3200 x 2 sticks
Video: ATI Sapphire Radeon 9500
HD: ST380024A Seagate 80Gb 8M Barracuda ATA V 7200RPM

I plan to overclock this machine, but am a beginner. Will the Corsair 256mb
xms 3500 be supported by my motherboard? or is the XMS 3200 enough?

Do I need anything else?

thanks

L

I never heard of that PSU. Make sure that the PSU can be used on P4 boards,
square 4 pin power plug. Its new and board will not bootup w/o it. If that
is a new case, you might wanna invest in one with USBs and Firewire front
jacks. I have that board, too. But I put in a 420W Vantec Stealth and 2
Kingston HX3200/512s. You might also think about puting a fan on your FSB
heatsink. It ships w/ just a heatsink.

The P4C800 Deluxe has slots for front USBs, but no cabling. Asus is cheap.
I hope your case has the cabling. Otherwise I think your looking at a minor
purchase.

FSB is Front Side Bus. On this board its running at 800MHz. Here is a
comparison: Remember those P3-500MHz microprocessors from Intel, some were
slot 1, if I remember correctly. They ran at only 500MHz and they came with
a heatsink and a FAN. This isn't comparing apples to apples, but I think
the logic is close enough. The chip in the Front Side Bus on i875 chipsets
runs at 800MHz and if you overclock it, much higher. It really needs a fan,
IMHO, eitherway.

Maybe someone who has a surface thermometer, can give us a reading of there
FSB heatsink at room T. I don't have a surface thermometer at home.

I have the same case and PSU as you are considering. ( and the P4P800 with
P4 -2.8 )
The case comes with leads/cables to connect front usb and firewire to mobo +
2 fans at rear. Your smartblue PSU will also have 2 fans. The case has
provision for a fan at the clear window on the side, so be sure to get a fan
for there as well or you'll be sucking in dust etc through that vent/grill.
You could also get another fan for the front panel to cool your drives if
you like.

So after all this air movement through your case, you might not want to
bother with a fan for the northbridge controller heatsink. Some of the sites
I've looked at have overclocked this board without an extra fan to this
heatsink, one site even put a fan on the heatsink and found no improvement
in performance.

http://www.abxzone.com/reviews.php?op=showcontent&id=10

So many things to consider ;-)

I've looked at some heatsink pages with no sucess. The fans used for video
card heatsinks fit the FSB heatsink, aswell, they claim. I'm a little
sceptical about purchasing one of these. Right now I am just planning on
having an intake 120mm on the side of my case, maybe 2 120s, blowing outside
air in over the FSB/chip/Ram area. I bought the Vantec 120mm from So-Trick;
I think it was $12USD. I'd like to findout what other people are doing to
cool their FSB chip. I'm hoping my decision to move from an all Steel case
to an all Aluminum case will help me, in this regard, also. I wish Zalman
would come out with a replacement FSB heatsink + fan unit.

Thanks BNR.

What beast do you have which requires 16 fans!?

Since my post, I have decided against going with a snorkle hole, it'll block
my solar radiation shield. I need 12 inches of cement above my pc to
protect it from alien scanners. Hehe! No really I think it'll cool it down
if I stack some cinderblocks ontop of it. It's the same concept of deep
dirt being cooler than surface dirt.
