Currently I am running the CoolerMaster Hyper 212 to cool my CPU, in a Thermaltake Element G VL10001W2Z case. This chip is running anywhere from 32ºC to 61ºC in low to mid load, this is considerably hotter than I would like.

What cooling solutions would you recommend? Without a doubt Water Cooling would help, but I have no experience with water cooling so I do not know what to get, or how much it would help.

im running a h110 and i just ran prime and stayed around 58-60. I realize mounting that in your case will be a challenge but just giving you an idea of what your up against

Hi. I've recently built a PC, and used a Cooler Master Seidon 120v. I would highly recommend it, and it fits your CPU socket. It was very easy to fit as long as you have space either inside or outside your case to fit a biggish radiator (its about 125x155) and will mount to a 120mm fan bay. Its also pretty deep with the fan fitted, think two 120mm fans deep.
I had to mount my rad externally with the fan internally as it wouldn't fit anywhere else, unfortunately that meant a big hole in my case for the pipes to go out as they can't be disconnected (easily).
Maybe a kit that comes with all the bits, but you put together yourself would be better if you have no room, as then you could feed the pipes out through an expansion slot.

Hi,
I just finished my rig and I get 53 Celsius under load running at 4.95Ghz using Prime95. And I too cannot seem to get stable over 5.0 Ghz..
I am using a CM HAF 922 case with CM Seidon 240 with fans in a exhaust config and my idle is at 20 degrees C. Cooling does not seem to the problem as I am only running my PWM Fans in a standard mode using Asus fan expert utility and cooling does not sets any alarms. However, I am using 1866 memory that might be the problem. Does any have ideas on what memory would be better?

Hello, I am running an AMD FX-9370 8core processor. I wanted to know if the h110 would be sufficient for my processor because I am having problems with overheating.
