Need a good air cpu cooler for overclocking

http://www.frostytech.com/ Heat sink review for CPU's. Worried about ram temps? Increase your case air flow. Put a ram cooler on the ram.

How the heck did you monitor Ram temps? Thermal heat gun? Mobos and software don't measure ram temps.

Look up http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php
It is there, and under $20 for ram.

Odd...........................

ok well since hwmonitor lists the temp as mainboard which i would guess is the ram because as soon as i start prime 95 it jumps for 50 idle into the 60s but i might be wrong you guys are more experienced then me so what would that measure if its not the ram. i mean i dont think the mainboard would go into the 60s.

That would be the temp being reported by the chipset, or your southbridge. In your case it would be the 790 chipset, X, GX, or FX. Unless for some reason you have a 780 G.

Some chipsets can achieve quite hi temps when overclocking. My mobo is notorious for that, so I bought a chipset cooler from Thermaltake. It now keeps my chipset at ambient temps (around 22C) at all times. I can provide a link if you like.

I think Frostytech still claims the Thermalright Ultra 120 extreme as the best for AMD processors. But that wouldn't even fit in my ANtec 900 without a bit of modification. Then again, neither did my Domino ALC...

You might be able to fit a Xigmatek 1283 in there. Around $40.

o alright thanks. well ima check out those cpu coolers on that site you listed and see what i find. and as for air flow i got 2 fans in front as intake 1 on the back as exhaust and on the top as exhaust and will get one more fan on the side as intake is that right or should the fan on the side be exhaust?

yeah if you can post the link for the chipset cooler.

so far i got the 2 stock fans that came with the case and bought 2 silenx 120mm fans they work really nice and quiet. says on the box 14dba but the more fans you got i believe its gonna be louder than that. the 2 silenx fans work pretty good says they push 72cfm and the only thing that sucks is the filter and grill in front of the case makes the 2 fans work a bit louder then when the grill is takin off.

Yep, read my sig, That is my review ( ;

of course there is...check out this

Nvidia rates the max temp for all cards at 105c

although i dont reccomend going that high ( ;

I think it 110c max!

Awesome Coolit Domino review i just found linked on frostytech.

damnnnn 85c lol

ok did some digging and checked out a few heatsinks, now i would get the core contact freezer but i dont have a pay pal or credit card so id have to ask my dad to buy it for me, and yeah. Now i looked at scythe mugen 2 and ocz vendetta 2. Now im guessing mugen 2 is better then ocz vendetta 2. how about mugen 2 vs core contact freezer. Is it a huge difference or should i go for mugen 2 and my local pc store carries it so i could get it. Could you compare mugen 2 to cctf ? and would you recommend the mugen 2? Seems like its a good cooler and for a low price.

You got cooling issues.
Culd be the case, bad ambient temps

Figure out what your case needs, buy a TOP CPU air cooler, slap some HS fans on it.

You push the limits, it come down to brain power and your wallet.

Buy the best you can afford.

Still haven't talked about your case yet or your fans on the case or your room temps.

Night, read for a while cya soon.

i just got back from micro center and i got the titan ttc nk85tz for 43 buck with tax. I have also seen that its rated number 1 on frosty tech so i went for it. Normaly its would of been 55 so good thing i got it, didint even know it was on sale until i got to the cash register it sure made my day. And i also looked at the mugen 2 which was 45 with out tax and the hdt s1283 which was 43 with out tax.

I think it should be a good cooler, What do u think bout the titan its almost like the core contact freezer. i didnt even know my store carries it, their online website sucks.

^ yeah dude. we LIVE for data! ( ;

kk sweet.

Looks good. Push it further.

Could you please use CoreTemp for CPU temps. HW Mon tends to be a bit in accurate.

^ yeah. Get us some real temps (pun intended)

And push it further damnit!

Bout' damn time im a "veteran"!

Anyway, id push it as far as you like. it is really a personell decision. I will go up to 1.65v if the temps are fine because i know i will upgrade in a year so...

im at 3.7ghz at 1.3625v , 18.5x multipliers and ran prime 95 blend for 37min and no problem. So its all good For now.

so tried some more im at 3.8ghz at 1.4v at 19x , i tried lower voltages and going up but nothing all crashed until i reached 1.4 so you say it doesnt matter how much i put the voltage up as long as the temps are good its alright? Cuz i went to loook at amd website and the voltages was rated from like .800 to 1.425 so can i exceed that 1.425?

prime is too slow try intelburntest v2.3
saves you time and better than prime. 10 mins of intel = 10 hours of prime
