I currently have an I5 2500K cpu overclocked to 4.2Ghz fitted with an arctic cooling freezer 7 pro cooler, on full load stress testing the cpu temperature reaches 82c after only a couple of minutes. My mobo is an Asus P8p67 with corsair XMS3 cmx4gx3m2a1006c9 ram in the second slot from the cpu so this might limit the choice of cooler I can fit. The case is an antec elite which only has space for 1 120mm fan at the rear which is fitted plus a seperate exhaust blower also fitted. Any suggestions for a better cpu cooler will be welcome.

My fault I've turned the cooler 180 deg and the full load temps are down to 76C, oh well they say you you live and learn should have looked more closely at the coolers fitting instructions.
