I just replaced my HSF with a CM Hyper 212+ push/pull. I was able to get another 300 Mhz out of my Q9550.
Q9550 EO stepping 8.5x460=3.91Ghz Vcore 1.3500
Gigabyte EP45-UD3P
8 GB OCZ Blade DDR 3200 @ 920 Mhz 2.2 volts
OCCT large file top out at 61c (Linpack hits 70c)
My question is, would anyone not recommend this for a 24/7 overclock. I have been running at 3.6 Ghz at Vcore 1.3375 24/7 for about 8 months. I have never exceeded vcore of 1.3500, and have not exceed 71.6c core temp for any extended period. I would like to get a couple more years out of this system.
The system runs well, and I am happy with the new cooler.
Your advice please oh sage ones.
