My "AMD" (its VIA chipset,not real AMD...) kept overheating and dying when it heated up sooooo i added 3 power supply fans to it, 3 of em push the air in, 1 takes the air out, now it goes max 47 degrees celsius, compared to over 70 before ;) Successful mod... Will definetely overclock and see how much it can take, once i get my laptop back!

How fast are you overclocking the damn thing? I have my X2 4400+ overclocked about 100mhz and it idles at 32C with a Thermalright XP-90C heatsink and 92mm fan. You dont need that many fans right in front of it to keep it cool. Use a good thermal paste with a THIN layer (Artic Silver 5), a good heatsink, and a decent fan to mount on top of it that pushes a decent amount of air.

You're right, the thing is that i once removed the cpu and i didnt have thermal paste lying around me so i just put it back in(with what was left on it), plus the thermal sink i have is a joke with a small fan so i just added the extra fans i had lying around, i should test it with some good thermal paste and heatsink! thanks for the advice
