I'm currently running a i5 3570k @ 4.6Ghz using a Corsair H50 in a push and pull config with the standard fans that come with an Antec 1200. My setup is:

<- R <-

Top fan is acting as an exhaust.

Unfortunatley my temps creep to 85C, which is more than I am comfortable with. Would upgrading my CPU Cooler and Fans help bring this down to less than 80C, if its possible which products would you guys recommend? Or would a new case be a better option?

Stulid did a test on the 3570k a week or so ago and noticed that when you each 4.5ghz - 4.6ghz the tempatures get really high. He was using a Kuhler 920, i think.

I don't really think theres a lot you can do, i think its just the way the chip is.

EDIT: Heres his thread.
 
Stulids temps are really low in comparison to mine, running at the same Ghz and VCore. I'll send him a pm to find out what case, cooler and fan combo he's using.

Damn it the more I look at OCUK store the more I want to buy, I was happy with my Antec 1200 two minutes ago :(
 
Can I just ask, how the hell did you manage to bolt the radiator to the back fan? I can't see how it would fit...
