So I was really looking forward to be able finally surpass 4GHz with my 125w Phenom II X4 965 with a nice big bad cooler, but i've yet to even get 3.9GHz stable. I used to have a TRUE 120 on a X3 720 which worked great!
I'm not sure if i'm getting normal temps but I doubt it. Here's some numbers and the setup.
Coolermaster HAF 932
MSI 790FX-GD70
A-data 4GB 1333mhz ram
Corsair 750TX
5870
I hope this little text layout makes sense. All the fans are lined up, and there is a large gap between the heatsink and surrounding fans.
[<-- Rear exhaust 120mm 44cfm] [<--120mm 90cfm] HEATSINK [<--120mm 90cfm] [<-- Front fan 140mm 60cfm]
Stock clocks (3.4GHz)
Idle: 36°C
Prime95: 47°C
