Hi, i recently overclocked my CPU to 3.7ghz with stock voltage. Under stress test it reached 75c while fan was at 100%. I use an aftermarket radiator cooler.

The idle temps are 25-35c.

Anything i can do to lower temps/increase overclock?


EDIT: I have Cooler Master Seidon 120V
One thing im wondering, where does the fan cable and pump power cable go? I just put it where it seemed to work, but it seems the pump is at a constant speed and not changing. Might that be the problem? I currently have the pump connected to sysfan 1 and the fan to cpufan. is that correct? pump is 3 pin while fan is 4


QuickEDIT: Pump seems to stay within 1409-1415 RPM. while the cpu fan can go up to 2k+ when under 100% load.

Well it wasn't exactly cheap, it had good reviews and had price similar to most others. It had more positive reviews so i picked that.
