Couldn't beat the 229 price tag at MicroCenter. A little bit of a drive but worth it IMO.
I should try TEC cooling it? (seriously) I have a peilter that'll handle this at stock. This 3770K actually runs pretty cool at stock on regular water. I was thinking of de-lidding it, but I have troubles enough with the chip past 4.8ghz and I'd hate to run 1.5+ volts just for 5ghz and benchmarking. I know I don't have a single TEC that could handle it alone past probably 1.250v give or take. At least not a 40mm TEC.
Another neat thing I've wanted to try is cold plate heat sinks. TECs need a lot of surface area, especially to be cooled. They are constant heat pumps.
