what's up guys...

Just recently got this beast and just started by setting the base clock to 150, so now it's running at 3.15GHz.

 

But it's getting a bit hot I think, 72-79

The Corsair H50 isn't that good. Prolimatech Megahalem, Thermalright TRUE and Noctua NH-U12P are pretty much the top 3 heatsinks available

thx

The Megahalem is looking pretty good, think I might go for that.

It comes fanless though right?

I was thinking maybe strapping a couple of Kaze Jyuni fans on it, should be good.

From what I have heard megahalems are about the best and a decent price. I use the CM V8 :D I love it, it looks awesome and keeps my i7 920 to ~60 under load at 3.8GHz (after i bought some decent TIM and applied it correctly ;) ) There are only reallya couple of degree difference between the top coolers and depends on how well you set the h/sink and your ambient temps. I have my window open all the time as it drops temps by 5C :P
