mrc1992 Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 ok i managed to get it at 3.8 @ 1.2500 vCore and memory at 1800mhz @ 1.5volt 9-9-9-24 as youcan see the max temp i got was 70, i ran memorytest86+ for 8 hrs and got 0 errors, so is the temps ok for a CM V8, but i will be getting a Noctau NH-D14 when the price goes down a bit, so is this a good temp for my overclock oh and also my motherboard is a GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD3R Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hierovision Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 Just a suggestion: You might not want to wait for the price of the NH-D14 to go down. I don't think coolers really go down in price all that often considering they're pretty timeless. Their performance doesn't exactly degrade.

GabrielT Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Not gonna lie, the price of the D14 isn't going to go down. Period. Maybe 2 years from now it will be $10 less but it might even go up. If you can snag a deal go for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
