Thanks a lot for your help! I will make research. For the D15S I am not sure. The product page says 165mm with fan, so..I may contact Cooler Master.

Martin you are right. I was aware of that. The D14 barely fits the case. I would buy a 240mm liquid cooler, but I am not sure if it correctly fits the entire cooler with its two 120mm fans. Doesn't it require a special modification or something? Well, I have visited Cooler Master's website and specifically the product's case. There is a photo with the case equipped with water cooling. However, I still want to be sure before I buy anything.

Thanks a lot everyone! Your help is precious! I may go for the NH-D14 because it is the only Noctua Cooler my case supports. Well, something about water cooling. Would a Cooler Master Seidon 120XL or 120M be good enough to cool an overclocked i7 4790k at 4.6GHz? Btw, sorry I didn't write at the hardware forums.

Hello everyone. I have some questions for you. It is about hardware for FSX. So, let's start. My CPU is an i7 4790k, right now at 4.1GHz with a CM Hyper 212EVO. My video card is a GTX 970 by Asus Strix. And I have 16GB of RAM. The question: which is the best CPU cooler to overclock the i7 4790k at 4.6GHz ? I saw that it is the best option and I really need it because I am loaded with addons like REX4 and many sceneries. Btw, my case is a Cooler Master N500 which can fit a cooler with up to 162mm height. I have read good things about the Noctua NH-D14. Is it ok for 4.6Ghz? I can afford it and my case supports it. Thank you

Should I eventually buy the fans? No difference. And I have no idea about what to do with Intel XTU. Do not call me greedy, but I still need help.

Thank you everyone! I trully did not not expect such quick respond! I will try every solution for the problem! I am thankful you have helped me!

Hello everyone, I am new in AVSIM Online and I signed up, because I wanted to get involved with a flight simulation community. Unfortunately, my experience on AVSIM Online begins with asking your help for a problem. First of all, let me write my PC specs: -i7 4790k CPU cooled by a -CoolerMaster Hyper 212EVO -Asus Strix GTX970 -Gigabyte Z97X-UD3H -16GB Kingston HperX Fury RAM -CoolerMaster G750 750W PSU The problem: I believe that my PC is appropriate for FSX. My idle state CPU temp is average 40*C, which I have read is ok. My temps while playing a requiring game(ex.Assassin's Creed:Syndicate) are around 60*C. Those temps may look normal to you. I have read they are. However, I have problems with FSX. I have many add-ons installed, that is true: REX4, good aircraft like Carenado and PMDG and many sceneries. Sometimes, I also run Night Environment Greece and AES by Aerosoft. So, while running FSX the CPU hits 90-100*C. It is annoying for me, as the frames drop to 20FPS and dangerous for the CPU, as such temperatures can harm it. I built the PC just 6 months ago, but I will replace the CPU thermal paste. Then what? I have thought of equipping two new CoolerMaster Jetflo 120 fans for the Hyper 212EVO. They are more powerful than the single 212EVO fan. However, will there be any difference? They will cost me around 30 Euros, and I will buy them just for FSX, because only while running FSX the i7 overheats. What do you think? Should I go for the fans? I think it is a one way option, as the only liquid coolers that my N500 case fits are not quite appropriate for the i7 4790k. I am expecting your replies. Thank you in advance, George Kavantzas
