E6400 Overclock. Does this look ok?

[MeatLoaf]

Managed to figure out how to overclock this rig and got it up to 2.4Ghz pretty easily, still on stock volts so far

Ive set the RAM in the BIOS to run at 667Mhz so it dosent change with the FSB.

Max load temp is 52C, thats on the stock cooler.

Looks fine - I'd invest in an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro HSF or the Titan Titan Amanda TTC-NP04TZ TEC & Heatpipe Cooling Fan (Socket 775) - You'd certainly knock 5 - 10 degrees off that temp, it would be quieter and would also allow for a little overclocking headroom.

Will i need to take the mobo out to remove the cooler or can i do it in situ?

 

[AndyOcUK]

The Freezer 7 uses existing mounting method, fits same as the Intel reference design.

The Titan will require the MOBO out to fit the back plate

Both are fantastic.

I would recommend the Titan as it will completely annihilate the Freezer 7. Although you will have to take the motherboard out, it only takes 5-10 minutes and a handy screw driver.

i heard that the titan's superior performance only really kicks in with higher temps? i.e if it's loading under 50c on your currentl cooler then a titan won't greatly reduce if at all your temps! however if a cpu is loading around later 50's on air then the titan may reduce it closer to 50c?

Yes, thats how TECs work.

The Titan L costs 3x as much as the freezer 7 pro though. Personally I would get the Scythe Mine or Freezer 7 pro + 120mm fan.
