andywebb22 Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Hey everyone hows it going? I recently just built a new computer and I noticed yesterday that it my CPU was running at 98C when I was ripping DVDs to my HD. So I ordered a corsair hydro H80 yesterday and it should be here tomorrow. I have done a little research and found that this is CPU cooler is good for overclocking and now that I am going to have one I was trying to get into it. I also ordered a RAM cooler as well(not sure if I need one tho). Basically I was just wondering what else I would need to get a good over clock ( I'm aiming for 5ghz )also what is some good software or best way to overclock and to monitor your system like desktop gadgets? Here are my specs: CPU - Core i-7 2600k MOBO - ASUS Sabertooth p67 RAM - 16gb g. skill ripjaws GPU - HD Radeon 6970 CASE - Antec 1200 any help would be appreciated! thanks!

Waco Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 If you hit 98 C with your stock cooler you had it mounted improperly or your ambient temps are insane...I'd fix that before spending any money on a new cooler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems mounted correctly as far as I can tell and I already got the cooler mainly bc I want to learn how to overclock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
