I am going to attempt to overclock my 1.7GHz celeron. Before I google shit does anyone have an opinion on an effective cooling method that is both inexpensive and not a huge pain in the ass.

My PC is always about 4 years behind the times. You should see the other shit components I have. This is more of a tinkering exercise than trying to supercharge my machine. I've never overclocked a CPU before.

k.

get a big ass copper heatsink. that's really the only thing i can think of short of watercooling.

you're not gonna get much out of a celeron, though.

What chipset do you have? I'm willing to bet that CPU cooling isn't going to be your limiting factor.
