Hey all,
When I ordered my rig, I was told I could get ~3ghz with the stock cooler of the E6400, now i'm stuck at stockspeed, reaching +60C on tat when stressed, reseated the cooler a few times, didn't fix anything, I idle around 40C on the cores. At 2.4, stock voltages, it reaches +70 on the cores. Now everest shows 2 temperatures; CPU and cores. According to everest, the CPU temp, should not be higher then 60C, and the cores can go up to a 100C.

Now I've heard about a lot of others reaching high temps and they all said get a better cooler first, before you do anything. I only want to reach 3.2ghz and try to get under 60C with the cores. Also I heard about a bad IHS? I took mine and a razorbladethere is coming a very very small light through it, almost nothing. I used AS5 as thermalgrease all times.
Now back to the topic, I want a better cooler which will get me to around 3.2ghz. I heard some very good results from the artic freezer and alsoa bout the ninja. I like the idea of having it cooled passively and overclocked, but that thing is damn heavy and more expensive. What should I do?
