No ty, my cheapo Antec H2O 620 with some decent fans is enough for an I7 980 @ 4.5 Ghz and 1.4v
That's pretty lucky
I hit a wall at 4ghz with my i7 860 and an antec 620, moved to custom water and hit 4.6 -

That looks uglier than if you had just gone for a good air cooler 
But I dont have a side window, its all covered in the soundproof black panels on my P182
And why waste money on a new cooler when have something like a dozen cheapo led fans sitting around doing nothing
Ok, I listened to your advice and fix'd it with a lovely air cooler ......

Haha, it does look a lot cleaner but I was thinking of something more hefty. How's the Intel cooler performing?
I only installed it to test because it looks nice, but it sucks.
4 Ghz @ stock volts, 5 mins of Linx:
Anteck Kuhler H2O 620 - 70 degrees
Intel stock on Q - 87 degrees
Intel stock on P - 81 degrees and VERY LOUD!
..... packaging up my H2O 620 to sell

Hehe I have one in red...
In fact I have a 990x but I don't even use it...

And the Phanteks cooler is 57
(What a PITA to install though and my side panel remains slightly dented when shut due to its height).
Oh nice, my side panel no longer has to remain dented when shut - one of my fans wasnt pushed down as far as it would go.
It fits my P182 perfectly now

Frickin' awesome man!
She's a beauty alright.
Think she's up for a bit of hardcore Skyrimming?
OOH LA LA

I fixed my temperatures
At first they were going up to 99 degrees in Linx at these same settings and my PC crashing around test 8-10:
What I did was move my third Xigmatek fan from my graphics cards intake to use as a top case fan intake blowing onto the CPU area, and then the H2O 620 has two Xigmatecs exhausting in a push / pull setup.
So three of these fans, - one as an intake, and two on the radiator exhausting + an Antec H2O 620 is epic:

Maybe I should buy another two for my intake fans? They are completely silent and push loads of air.
GFLOPS seem low?
My 2700K at 4.6 pushes well over 100? Is that normal?
By the way I hope that stool your highly ESD sensitive components is laid on is well grounded........ >,< As an ex electronics manufacturing engineer that makes me ass twitch.

Lol, I use my stool all the time now for motherboard stuffs, nothings broken yet
My Gflops just went up to 88 with the new cooler somehow, but it still crashes at around 12-15 mins and temps still reach 95 degrees, though at least they arent going over the TJmax anymore.
So I turned off HT and am using it at 4.5 Ghz with just the 6 cores.

Yeah it does seem low, my X6 @ 3.8 gets ~70-71GFLOPs.
Might be it's throttling with the high temps? Also as the problem size is so low it won't give an accurate indication, probably find it'll increase a few with a higher problem size.
As I said a post above yours - 88 Gflops at 8 Gb / 37k problem size, but crash at 12 mins, likely due to the temps still hitting 95.
So I simply turned HT off, but cant be bothered testing it again. It should be stable with HT off and the reduced temperatures.

I am testing my ram now with the CPU at stock/ HT was left off by accident, but the CPU stays under 48 degrees at stock speed and HT off!
^^ Testing my ram not the CPU remember. I can do 1866 Mhz @ Cas 7!
Ok, seems I have 1866 Mhz ram stable at 186 BCLK, I just needed to increase the QPI voltage to 1.38v
