A64 3000 oc

What type of heatsink would you need to overcloak an A64 3000 to A64 3500 and be cool enough to run almost 24/7(if its possible)

a really big one... thats at least a 400Mhz clockspeed increase you need....
Your max multiplier will be 9x (9x200=1800=default clock of a 3000) so if you wanna reach the 2200Mz of a 3500 you need to make you HTT(fsb) 245Mhz to reach it. This means you also need ram capable of 245Mhz to keep it in sync with the cpu speed. And offcourse having the luck that your cpu will be able to cope with those speeds.

so probably watercooling if you don't wanna have you neighbours come over to complain about the noise....

The Thermalright XP-90 is the highest performance heatsink availible at the moment that garentees mobo compatability. Check their sight and see it the XP-120 will fit your mobo.

Wrong WisMerHill. Athlon 64 3000s are 2ghz at stock and with a good mobo can reach 2.4-2.5 on air provided you have a nice heatsink like a XP-90 with a nice 92mm fan (or XP-120 with nice 120mm fan). As for ram you can run in 3:@ or 5:6 ratio to keep your ram clocks down. Also if you can buy the Socket 939 winchester 3000+ and a the DFI 939 mobo when it comes out. The winchesters put out less heat, OC well, and with the DFI or other boards overclock very nicely.
