I want to install a CPU fan for my Yosemite G3, i know what most of you are thinking, you don't need a fan for the Yosemite series, it alreayd runs quite cool enough, but i'm going…

OK... I've overclocked my bus speed to 266mhz but what else can I overclock? Time to have some fun here! ------------------ DeathToWindows
