Hi guys,
I just went ahead and decided to replace my stock cooling with the 212 EVO (which I'll be getting next week). The ratings were just too high to ignore http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099
But other than that, at around 4.5 GHz overclock (don't plan on going higher), is it worth the risk to delid the CPU to get the temperatures down more? Also - what temps can I expect with the EVO? I've seen some really nice temps in other threads regarding this, and they look too good to be true.
With stock cooling I get fluctuating idle temps between 35C-43C and full load (after a few hours bitcoin mining for stress test) between 90C and 95C at 4.2GHz.
