First of all i would like to say sorry if the thread has been open over and over again, i have being search for the whole forum finally meet the dead end so i would need a advice on OCing my i7 processor to 4.0ghz and also recommended cooler

10q for the support

H70,Megahalem or venomous X pair with good cfm fans and ur done.

no ppl recomend H50 since i on tight budget leh

this 1 using Cooler Master V8 and yet didnt OC also damn hot lar haiz

Bro , a venomous X or thermalright ultra 120 extreme will be good enough to cool down your i7 . Give it a try

i wan to try but no ppl buy my v8 hehe

I'm still considering

before i'm on watercooling..i'm using xigmatek achillies to cool down my i7 965 at 4.0g's..

idle temp is at 5x and load temp is almost 95..that would not be so good in my opinion, however

if you need something which is more better than xiggy, try prolimatech or venemous-x..both would show you good result...but oc'ing on air is quite riksy...

how bout h50 or h70 performance?

i've been using h50 but not h70..

h50 performance is quite similar with prolimatech megahalems bro..but that time, i was using QX9650..the temp is quite same for both cooler..+/-1 only..

is okay if you are going 4.0g's with h50, there is no issue about that, but once you oc, you have to monitor the temp, you have to remember that i7 965 is c0 stepping..

it requires a more voltage that an ordinary i7 procs, which means that it is more hotter..etc, 920 d0, 930, 940, 950..

tat 1 i noe huhu extreme = hot

any1 with h70 can give comment
