I'm overclocked to 4.3GHz using the Corsair H80i. When I first installed the heatsink the fans where very loud. I had to connect the fans to the heatsink using the dual 4 pin connectors and then I connected the USB cable to the heatsink to a spare USB header on my motherboard. The fans are way quieter. I have Corsair Link Software installed. I was playing Assassin's Creed 4 using default mode for the 2 fans but after an hour it got pretty loud going to 1700RPM. I don't like fixed mode so I used quiet mode. It is indeed quiet my current temps while running assassin's creed IV on the highest possible settings is 48C. But I was only in the game for about 10 minutes and I wasn't moving around. So it'd probably get higher than that (maybe 55C max?) If it was to go to 55C would that be a safe temp while gaming? I haven't seen it go to that yet but since I changed the settings after hours of gaming it might.
I'd also like your input on the max safe gaming temp it'd be greatly appreciated
Let me know
Thank you
