at home, you?
decided not to go cheap like i did last time and spend £20, this time i spent double ( i know i know its not like i sunk hundreds into wc) :D

so, i decided to go for this

anyone own one?
 
im looking forward to pulling the standard cooler back out of my rig and puttin this bad boy in, should be arriving tomorrow, had an arctic cooler pro 7 and it was awful temp wise,then the fan died, removed the cooler and found the plastic mount broken so im hoping this should allow me to push the overclock i had from 4.3 to maybe 4.5, as temps with the old cooler hit the 90's!!!!:o
 
im just wondering what the paste is that will come bundled with it, as all i have is generic silver thermal paste
 
anyone know what would be the best 140mm fans for push pull on this? as, im starting to think it only comes with 1 fan, so im wondering about getting a pair of better fans, or matching this one if it is any good
 
yes, if i would have known that i would've probably give it a miss, but yes it seems like im only getting one fan, extremely misleading i thought, if i get two, i will be very happy though
 
tried that, been waiting a few days for my first question in my thread to be answered, about delivery dates, also asked this question, it has been looked at, but not responded to, as im assuming they will have to wait till monday to confirm this, im unsure as wether or not to send it back if its only got 1, as for the other suggestions for coolers, the problem is, my gf is paying, so no more than 40 quid

ok so it arrived this morning with 2 fans thankfully, just installed and couldnt resist it, decided to get my overclock going to 4.5ghz straight away and im very impressed compared to my old arctic cooler pro 7, heres my temps

yep, the cooler itself is very quiet, the whole rig should be a lot quieter tomorrow when my case fans arrive :D

as for the badly placed window, i may do another few overclock runs to see what total speed im happy with vs temps, so u may see the full image later tonight haha
 
ok so, all didnt go too well haha, so far all iv been doing is upping the multi, at the now 4.5ghz it runs fine, but as soon as i go to 4.6 it is unstable, not down to the heat, more down to me being a noob at overclocking :D, more than likely it has something to do with other settings i.e voltages or something i think, i did look up the thread about overclocking on the gigabyte z68ap-d3 but it only goes to 4.4 ghz which iv already passed just with the multi
 
ok so been fiddling, and learning a bit more, decided to do another overclock
