Hello Tom's,
My build:
Mobo: ASUS M4A89GTD Pro/USB3
CPU: AMD Phenom II x6 1075T (3.0GHz stock, 6 cores unlocked)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 4x4Gb (16Gb total) DDR3 1600
GPU: EVGA 650ti Boost 2Gb
PSU: Corsair HX750
HD: WD Black 2TB 7500rpm
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
CPU Cooler: Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo
Case: Corsair 600T
Prior to the Battlefield 4 beta I decided to do a quick and easy overclock (going for at least 3.6, maybe 3.8GHz) from information gleaned from several threads created about this very CPU.
Upon running Prime95 to check for stability, the temperature of my CPU rose from around 39C to 57C in a matter of seconds. I canceled the test, restarted my PC and reset CPU BIOS settings to default.
I understand that 57C isn't all that high, however I had no desire to burn up my CPU 2 days prior to the beta release, and considering I was only seconds into the blend stress test... yeah..
I'd love to upgrade my Mobo/CPU, however right now I can't justify an upgrade, other bills to pay, etc.
So I've come to the conclusion that spending $80 for the Corsair H80i over a $400+ mobo/cpu upgrade would make more sense.
Would the H80i provide sufficient cooling to get an overclock of around 3.6GHz?
I've tried my best to utilize the search function to answer my own question, however there's just so much info to filter through. I appreciate any feedback.
