i7 Air Cooling

Hmm, that Noctua NH-D14 does look a beast...

I am looking to overclock a i7 930 to as close to 4Ghz as I can (on air) so this would be as good a choice as any..

Will it fit ok into an Antec 1200 case?

and i'm looking at the ASUS P6X58D-E board, and initially with OCZ Reaper ram, which has the heatsink fins on them, will this get in the way do you think? If so I guess I could get the lower profile corsair ram

it will certainly get in the way

plus a VX will be cheaper than getting new memory and perform about the same or better providing you get the right fans

The OCZ Reaper is a problem with the D14 but the motherboard should be fine. ;)
 
Spire Thermax Eclipse II with 2 fans is ment to be really good (better than Noctua NH-D14 according to frostytech) or the Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme
 
Do you really need to do all that tweaking? Have you tried everything near as stock?

I run 1.1v IOH, 1.1v QPI, 1.8v CPU PLL, only things i have tweaked for 4.2 is vcore and vtt
 
1.3 vtt, 1.325 lvl1 llc, for 1.28v load, got DVID on so 200x12 1.024v idle, 1.1 ioh, 1.1 qpi pll, 1.8 cpu pll

pretty much stock for 4.2 apart from vcore and vtt

Hi Vect0r could you please give a link to the memory you used in your i7 setup.

Thanks
