I had now managed to find a stable 4.2Ghz overclocked with lowest temperature after spend almost 3 hours to get the right setting in the bios to finally stable as it still ongoing full load using prime95 blend testing.

Watch this space ! :)
 
After the epic one man struggle to find the best cooler, I look forward to knowing your result. I don't think it's going to beat the ek supreme though :)

Yep, it won't beat the ek supreme thought. But temperature is very good so far exspecially low temp on idle and full load for the highest overclock at 4.2Ghz with low vcore !
 
Full load for 1 hour now, as you can see the tjmax at 100. And the temperature haven't gone above 71C yet ! It even better than the H50 as the H50 with full load for an hour with 4.2Ghz at 1.31vcore at 82, 79, 77, 75.

But this time, it vcore at 1.23 with amazing temperature at 71, 70, 70, 69 but still need to do more testing thought.

What you think of it with air cooling temperature ?

I'm more impressed by the fact you have 12GB of RAM, most people can't achieve 4GHz with 12GB, regardless of the voltage.

To be honest, I never expect my 12Gb of ram will going to work well with over 4Ghz overclock but it surprise me really. I think I must have a cherry chip ever. I dare NOT to selling my beauty i7 core chip. :)
 
Here's hoping I manage 4ghz at 12gb, going to annoy me no end if I can't

I'm going to guess that the mystery link here is either going to be really, really loud fans or air con
 
Maybe I should try timing ram of 8.8.8.20.1 (6 x 2Gb) later tonight instead of using 9.9.9.28.2 at 1200Mhz (because my memory is only support 1333Mhz at 1.50v) might buying 2000Mhz (6 x 2Gb before christmas with water cooling setup)
 
There's an article on madshrimps to the effect that faster ram means almost nothing since trichannel bandwidth is so ludicrously high already, 1333 cl9 shows almost exactly the same results as 2000 cl8.

I think the approach of clock the cpu as high as it'll go, then clock the ram as high as it'll go without sacrificing the cpu clock is the one I'll take. I doubt I could run 12gb over 1600mhz, so my dominator should do me just fine

I suggest spending the money on something more exciting, like waterblocks for the entire motherboard and an extra pump :)

Will OCUK staff testing 1600Mhz / 2000Mhz with 12Gb of ram for 4.0/4.2 Ghz overclock and post me with the result of the test to see if it will work or not ? before I can purchase it myself. Thanks OCUK.
 
I think its more a case of you'll end up running your 2000mhz ram at 1333 to keep the cpu clock, but higher ram speeds will hit the imc harder which will hurt stability. Changing to 6gb of 1866mhz ram may get you higher clocks, but then again it might not. What're you using 12gb for? I'm sure I should know but can't remember

Come on then, what's the current favorite?

That's a big thing to ask mate, I can't see them jumping at the oppertunity. Especially given your cpu might do it but another wont or vice versa, they'd need your board and your cpu, and I think would have to charge a significant amount for the trouble. I'll see if I can find the article, I think it'll put you off the uber ram

Page 7 is memory frequency, but the rest is well worth a read.

I suppose you're right of what the point of using 12Gb of ram for any 64 bit operating system. More likely 6Gb of ram is enough (3 x 2Gb)
