Hey Guys,I'm currently running i7-920 D0 @ stock (stock heatsink) would anyone recommend the Thermaltake FRIO as a good cooler for me to oc to 4ghzCheers.

In short..... No!!!. Unless you like listening to a vacuum cleaner in your PC. The Noctua NH-D14 is the mutts nuts is you want a good 4GHz cooler.

I have the NH-D14 and if you have the space in your case, go for it! It's great!

@Cmdrx3Unfortunately the NH-D14 wont fit because the memory modules has huge heat spreaders.

Corsair A70 for a good and inexpensive air cooler that will get you to 4+ easily.

Thanks Ryan i'm currently looking into the A70 now.Cheers

I got the A70 cooler and it's great! Only problem I had was with the rubber pieces that stick out. They were blocking my 3rd RAM stick so I had to pull them back to get it in the slot. Other than that I've got my processor clocked to 4.7Ghz

No brainer, I love mine and runs really cool avg about 32 degrees :Big Grin: 40 when in fsx the h70 - at the moment overclocked i7 6 core at 4.2mhzhttp://www.corsair.c...dro-series.htmlRich

Topic moved to the appropriate hardware forum. It did not belong in the PMDG Forums.

Recommend the Corsair H60 cooler... it will fit nicely with your ram heat spreaders... It's what I use - cut's down on the clutter. I run temps around 55C (highest core 3 by real temp) when benchmarking @ 4GHz.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181015

Matter of fact i just purchased and installed the NH-D14 this last weekend because i am just getting into overclocking my i7-950 for the first time. Just completed stress test and passed. I am impressed. As far as RAM clearance is concerned, during my research all the reviews said that the NH-C14 was darn near as good. It is verticle and solves this problem.

Hey guys thanks for all the help think I'm going for the NH-C14.

Apparently Corsair is coming out with the H80 and H100! This hasn't officially been announced by Corsair, rather these were listed on a Swedish computer supplies site this morning. They were also listed on scan.co.uk earlier, the H100 priced at £80. Just a couple days ago, a Corsair rep on the overclock.net forums spilled the beans that they were coming out with a 240 radiator version.

[EDIT] Disregard...should probably start reading whole threads rather than jumping to conclusions... [EDIT]

I have a similar system to yours. I just replaced my Xigmatic Black Knight w/push-pull fans. I installed a new Corsair hd70 closed loop water cooler. My ambient temps went down 7-8*. My max temps went from 76-80 to 68-70.
