Partially depends what fans you're using with it, those temps do seem high though, the mount is good? :/

I was only using it with one fan at the time, pulling from it out the back of the case. Got the rest of the fans I needed yesterday, and put a push one on it. Down to 63C after Linx 20 passes and 12 hours of prime, 1.3v 4.3Ghz.

Auto overclocking prolly get you 4.6 ...

My board has a 4.6 button :thumbsup:

Got 4.4 stable I think, took 1.325v. Topping out at 74C with the fans down to "quiet". Should be able to get 4.5 stable with the H50.

4.5 is stable with 1.35v, no other changes. 78C max after 14 hours of prime.

Couldnt get it to boot at 2133, but havent tried too hard yet. Been using 1866 8-8-8-24.

Got a GTX-560 Ti and a Samsung 470 128Gb SSD coming.

You will need to raise Vccio to get it to run 2133. I think only about 1.15 IIRC. More helps.. I push 1.25 when i'm clocking the RAM up with tight timings at 5GHz..

im starting getting jealous with those 2500k,i mean wtf 4.5 stable with 1.35v and my 975 at 4.2 needs 1.375, ofc i want say that at 4.4ghz needs 1.4 :wtfsign:

Pounding that thing with prime ........ :Dizzy:

you going for 24/7 settings ?

Bench that sucker, SB = Easy bake oven for kids

Yeah, was going for daily stable. Dont have enough time to get back to benching yet, my hours just increased again. Once I get better cooling, I might try to run a few quick ones just to see what it can do.
