After reading a lot of reviews, tests and benchmarks, I've installed the Corsair H-100 and now OC my i7-2600K to 5.0 GHz without a sweat. Temp at sustained full load on all cores never gets above 60C (room temp 21C-23C). I'm still in the process of determining how far this setup can be overclocked. So far I have only used the multiplier and not tinkered with any of the other parameters on the mobo. So it's gonna take me a while to find the max. stable OC for my rigg.

What's your vcore?

What's your vcore?

1.496 according to ROG CPU-Z. I've set it to 1.5 in BIOS, so close enough.

Wow, I'm surprised it stays so cool at 1.5v.

Hey Ken. +1 on that one. Idon't know how he's doing that one, when i'm at 4.4Ghz and 1.28v giving me between 65 &70c on Prime 95.

That H100 must be a lot more effective than my h70. How do you have it wired up? Pump to CPU fan & radiator fans to chassis?

Just straight out of the package, radiator screwed against the underside of the roof frame of the chassis, the double fan package of the H100 screwed on top of the roof frame of the chassis (fans and radiator are thus screwed together with only the roof frame of the chassis between them). The fans are covered only with a meshed top that comes with the chassis and allows the fans to suck in all the air they need. With no load temp is around 28-30C, full load raises it to max 59-60C (running prime95 for an hour to check OC stability). Two more fans in the chassis, one at the side, one at the back, both sucking the air out of the chassis (H100 is sucking the air into the chassis). One more fan attached to the power unit, sucks in air from the front of the chassis. So cool air is sucked in from the top and front, warm air is sucked out at the back and side.
