I'm looking to get my I7 930 to 4.0ghz. As of right now I'm sitting at 3.6 ghz (in turbo mode). I'm using a Tunic Tower 120 extreme to cool it. I can't get past 3.6ghz without problems (Not going to windows desktop). I'm using AS5 as the paste for the heatsink/cpu. I'm using all the fans in my CM Storm Sniper case. Would I need to buy some more case fans, or get a better cooler (Which I think mine is fine for my I7). I was thinking about buying a H50 watercooling set to cool my I7 with. This cooler is disapointing me. Before I got my I7 I used it on my Phenom ii x4 920 (stock - 2.8ghz) I overclocked it to 3.7ghz perfectly with it. I don't care about sound of any fans/cooling devices you guys suggest.
Thanks, Xion.
