To optimus2009:
If I were you, I would search the the maximum OC others get and then begin with 500MHz less than that, inceasing 100MHz each step until it becomes unstable. Furthermore, check the OC sticky!
Can you also post the temp after 10min running of prime95 if possible?
I'm sorry, I had fallen asleep and now I'm at work. Later today I'll post those temps .
I also forgot to mention, I added an extra 120mm fan to the sink, so I have 2 rather than the 1 fan it came with. That brings the price up to just below $30 I'm sure.

era86 - Nice temps, what is the ambient temp of your room - 68 F or colder i'm quessing. Reason that I ask is that the Minimum core temp has to be at least a couple of degress higher than ambient temp. (PS ambient is normally shown for 3 to 4 ft off of floor, and the ambient for a case set on floor will be a few degrees cooler)
Mine is at 3.8GHz and idles at 34C "50% fan speed" on speedfan. With prime 95 it only got up to 44C max "100% speed". MSI GD65. Rosewill Wind knight case.
for a 24/7 nice oc 3.8ghz is about the sweet spot.
mine it linpak and prime stable at 4ghz however a little too high voltage for my liking. its 3.8ghz at reasonable volts and reasonable temps on a cheaper smaller cooler

Sorry for the late reply! My room temp is roughly 70F average.

That is very similar to what I am hoping to build, and I wanted to know how well the Hyper 212 fits into the CM690. Are you able to use the case side fan slot?
Also, do you place your Corsair fan up or down?
Thanks, rather basic questions but would be very useful to know.

1. Since Hyper 212 plus is 2.6mm lower than V8 which can fit into the CM690 as shown in the picture, the 212 will definitely fit into the CM690.
2. As you can see in the picture, the Corsair PSU's fan is placed down. Besides, I place my PSU's fan down as well in my HAF922 case which has a PSU ventilation hole significantly lower than that of the CM690. Thus, you shouldn't have any trouble in placing the PSU fan down.
