Hi fellow overclockers!
Atm im running my 8350 at 4615.MHz with 1.332 Core Voltage
My noctua nh-d14 is keeping my core temperatures at an ok level 48c when running prime95, but my socket temp is another story 65C ( Yes i know its under the 72c line, but still hot wile running on so low Core voltage )
My rig is
Asus M5A99fx Pro 2.0
FX 8350
HyperX Fury DDR3 1600MHz 16GB Blue (Overclocked to 1866 MHz, stock voltage)
Silver Power SP-S850 850W PSU
XFX Radeon 7970 (Little Overclocked)
Samsung 830 SSD 128GB
My question is, If i drill a 90mm or 120mm hole on the right side of my case (Just at the cpu socket ) and mount a fan so it blow cold air directly on the socket, or pulling hot air from the socket, will this reduce my socket temp enough to be worth it?
Here is a picture of my pc running prime 95 for about 10 mins
