What do you guys think about this rig?

You want to go as high as you can stably. Around 4.5ghz seems to be the sweetspot for FSX. That Coolermaster 212 will be fine, as long as you don't need to up the voltage too much to get there. Had mine running at 4.5ghz for months on the same cooler before my PSU took the motherboard out.

How much is that? :)

That's entirely upto you. You don't want to put to much voltage thru, because a) could kill the cpu, and B) more voltage means more heat. I had mine running at 4.5ghz @ 1.35v never going over 65c even after an 8 hour Prime run. General consensus seems to be that upto about 1.4v is ok, but you want it as low as possible to keep the temps down.

Ok, so around 1,35 is good?

[Charlatan 68]

Should be fine for 4.5ghz

Okay, but 1,4 is the maximum with the 212+?

Try it yourself, Wasso! Every set-up is different, but my experience says that you better get a Noctua or a Corsair watercooler or something similar if you want to go higher with the Volts. The +212 is good, cheap, and it works, but it´s not "a high voltage/clock super-cooler" IMO...

I agree everyone's setup is different with different performance. Noctua is a good cooler if you are looking for high Oc'ing. As a side note as I mentioned earlier do not OC if you are getting good performance (30 FPS ) and if you do have to OC then please do it step by step.

Okay, thanks everyone for all your help!! :D
