I need some faster ram and better cooling on my cpu. My cpu throttles itself when I take it above 5.0ghz, but my fans are only running at 5v which equates to around 800rpm instead of 1900rpm. Need to invest in some new ones and I am looking at some Noctua NF-F12's or some Akasa Apache Black's since they both seem to have really good static pressure with, really low noise when running at full tilt.
Thats very true, I've had a few real screamers. An E8600 that goes to 4.5 an I7 940 that went to 4.5 and recently a 3770 that would do 5Ghz, all on low voltage. I've also had a few that I just wanted to scream at because they we crap overclockers
I may have to look at those home made peltier units as I think my cpu will potentially hit 5.5ghz and above if it was cooled enough, as it will do 5.2Ghz under water but throttles itself but will still bench because it drops to 5.0Ghz. http://valid.canardpc.com/2895979
