Hi sifus,

Currently I just upgrade my air cooler from Noctua NH-u12s to Thermalright Venomous X. As from reviews and benchmarks throughout the net, it is more or less the same with NH-D14. But as I am still using ancient casing, which is Cooler Master Centurion 590, so I am limited to maximum cooler heights of sub 170mm. So I down with this Thermalright Venomous X. I am happy with it results, it tame down my 4790k @ 4.6GHz 1.255V. Below is the results of my Devil's Canyon running AIDA64 benchmarks. While on NH-u12s, I only run 2 hours of OCCT Large Data Set.


AIDA64 With Thermalright Venomous X, Scythe GT AP15 rated 1850RPM as Push, Cooler Master SickleFlow X as Pull.


OCCT Large Data Set With Noctua NH-u12s, Scythe GT AP15 rated 1850RPM as Push, Noctua NF-F12 as Pull.

My main concern is, is this results of AIDA64 pushing my Devil's Canyon to 85°C acceptable? I am using this PC as gaming machine only besides some movies and Photoshop. While gaming, which is Need For Speed Rivals and Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition Black Box, it barely touch 70°C. And with the voltage of 1.255V, am I safe to use this setup Daily, will not using it 24/7/365. Only use at night maybe around 5hours weekdays, 8hours maximum on weekend. I would like to push more to 4.8GHz as the results from my game benchmarks is so good if able to run on 4.8Ghz but it need higher voltage. Maybe around 1.35V. Can I push my CPU to 4.8GHz @ 1.35V on air? Is it safe? I know I have a lousy B85G-M, but so far it did good job.
