Hope that link works. Should be my build.

I'm OC'd to 4.2, and set the Vcore to -0.090. Will not boot at -0.100. I'm running Prime95 small FFT's right now and using CpuZ to monitor temps. My hottest temps list as follows: 68, 72, 69, 66. My average temps works out to be about 66 when running prime, and about 29 when idle. I live in Florida and the thermostat says 74 right now. It'll get warmer as the day goes on.

I'm sure I could probably GET AWAY with these temps, but I just get too jealous when I see cats with their temps down into the 60's. I want that if possible. I know, I know.... "each chip is different.." BUT, is there anything maybe I'm missing that I could appply?
 
You're seeing temps in the 60s from people with high end coolers. The 212 EVO is great for moderate overclocks, like you have, but itsn't for minimizing temps. Your hottest core at 72 is pretty good with an OC. You don't start hurting the CPU until 85-90+, and you don't even have your voltage turned up.

Thanks for the replies. As for the fans, I've already got four installed, 2x200mm and 2x120mm. One of each per direction.

How much of a difference would it make to install another fan ON the Evo? I only have the one it came with right now.

Any more opinions out there?
