Mobo : asrock z87 extrene 6

Cooler : corsair h100i hydro.

Overclocked to 4.4ghz (1.250vcore) and 4.4 cache (1.350 cache voltage).

This was the best i could do with 4.4ghz and 4.4cache multiplier. I tried alot of different voltages and trial and errors , even wrote down every test on paper.

LLC 2 and cpu input voltage is at 1.9

While playing games like Dead Rising 3 and Hitman Absolution temps are 50s and low 60s.

These are the temperatures at idle and underload (prime95)

Looks good and typical.

Keeping the vcore around 1.25 keeps the heat under control and is suitable for 24/7 operation.

Under normal heavy loads, you will rarely reach stress test heat levels

Yes, speed is decent and temps/voltages look good.

H100i can be loud without a custom fan curve. You have enough thermal headroom so if you need to lower the fan RPMs a little for noise it's safe to do that. Just make small adjustments and check that temperatures are still good.

How can i lower the fans speeds of the h100i ? When i installed the corsair programm there were no h100i fans listing there.

Download and install the 12/19/2013 version, restart PC, uninstall, and then install the latest August 2014 release. From the Corsair Link software that I've tried so far, this was the only version that would correctly install the USB controller to properly recognize my h80i so as to adjust it, rather than displaying the components as being motherboard hardware or something.
