The first mod we´re going to do is installing better cooling on the core as well as RAM sinks on the memory chips. Why do we do that? Well, that´s simple. Overclocking hardware results in more heat and if we get more heat, the stock heatsink on the Kyro2 chip isn´t capable of cooling it down any longer. That´s the reason why we´re going to install a big Volcano II heatsink on top of the core. I chose attach the heatsink to the Kyro2 core with some thermal conductive glue. You should just put a little bit of thermal grease on the bottom of the heatsink and also a little bit of glue; then press the Volcano II heatsink on the Kyro2 core and hold it for about 1 minute or so. This way, the heatsink will be glued on the Kyro2 chip. So far, so good. You could leave the Volcano II heatsink as a passive cooler, but I decided to equip the sink with a low profile fan I removed from my 3Dfx Cool cooler on my Celeron300A CPU.
