Ill be putting my i7 rig together next week, ive heard and read that theese chips run pretty hot., ive got a lapped TRUE black and a selection of sharkoon fans, 5x2000 rpm's and 3x se modular fans that i can run via pwm, i also have an akasa junior fan controller that can control 6 fans using splitters, hoping to hit 4ghz on an i7 920DO.
Fans for a TRUE on i7

I used to have 5 of them jon when i had my old q6600 at 3.8ghz, that cpu was insane. I put 1.52 vcore through it for 3.8ghz, hence the high powered fans, but all of the fans were run of a controller, in normal use the rig was totally silent, most noise came from my secondary hdd (an old wd 250gb caviar) looking back now my voltages on that 65nm cpu were pretty mild, with a couple of delta fans on the TRUE i should have tried for 4ghz, you cant kill a q6600 with vcore, theyre that robust. i fairly miss that cpu.
