hello and sorry if the info is here somewhere but i have searched and im a noob at this so please go easy on me 
just upgraded and used a first for me a bundle from here,
Krypton Z77 OVERDRIVE" Intel Core i7 2700K 3.50GHz @ 4.20GHz DDR3 Overclocked Bundle
temps so far with Zero Infinity Phantom Knight CPU Cooler installed, start up 21c at 30% 50% cpu use temp goes to 31c, will take to 100% later and see how cool it stays, just ran some bench marks and got it to 41c so guessing thats as high as it will go, will test it on for 24hrs and keep at default settings done by OC's and see how cool it stays (not that im going to alter anything myself as not needed), so far a great bundle and setup, temps are very good, got a noisy fan but will change that as its no big deal.
7 hours now on, cpu fan set at 1872 rpm and motherboard fan set at 2419rpm other 4 case fans aren't monitored ones but are all temp sensors ones, motherboard temp is 23.0c with cpu at 33c at 76% threshold average for an 5 hour. cpu frequency steady at 4193 mhz
now downloading 140gb of my steam games from the net on virgin media 100mb cable, temps after 2 hours on steady at still 31c so great cooler
so is this good?
as was thinking it maybe higher temps? but very happy with lower, just surprised tbh.
was thinking that it would sound like a helicopter tbh to keep it cool, so happy with it, fan does make a noise so will replace just incase but very happy so far with it, need to game later so just install my steam folder.
might also change me case as its an old chieftec full tower, front usb isn't 3 and its at least 6 years old, coolings great and plenty of space for anything, could hide all the boxes that this kit came in it tbh and still have space.
so anyone with any input thanks for it, just advice and yes thats about right or is ok etc
merry christmas
ps, just altered stock fan on Zero Infinity Phantom Knight CPU Cooler with golf ball one from OC and now temps are lower still 20c at boot and 29c at 50% so cool
