Hi,
Since having my first go at overclocking and stress testing my pc i've noticed that overall my pc is running hotter.
my pc:i5 760, p7p55d-e, geil 2x2gb value plus, arctic cooler extreme rev 2.
before o/c'ing system would run 30-32, 67 max using IBT, this was at 3.36ghz using the auto features on the mobo.
i o/c'ed to 3.8ghz (180x20), tested using IBT@maximum and prime95 torture test and temps went up to 72 which i have been told is getting too close to too hot for this cpu.
system is now [email protected](160x22) idles@36 and stressed runs at 72, the same as when o/c'ed to 3.8. why would that be?
the coolers i'm looking at are:http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-010-TI&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=1395
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-053-ZA&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=1395
and i would stretch on price, if it is worth it, to:http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-002-CS&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=1395.
could anyone give me some feedback on these coolers, i am using an antec 900 case, will there be any space issues?
any input appreciated, thanks in advance.
