Ok, got my new memory,s-flex 1600rpm and slipstream 1200 rpm. Installed the memory and the s-flex 1600 rpm. Let the fan run around 700 rpm idle. It didn't do very much but temps were again going down with 2 degrees. Today it was a very hot day here and the ambient temp. was 24 degrees. Max. load tem...

Ok, I have done some testing again : With the side of the case off the temps were about 4 degrees lower, so 61 degrees was the max. under full load. I get the same result as i set all the fans on full speed in the case (with the case closed offcourse) But that's me to loud, i have 3 casefans ,nexus ...

Ok, i have lapped my cpu and heatsink, what a job pfff....costs a lost of time. Temps were again going down from 70 to 66 load, so 4 degrees profit, i hoped a little bit more but that's it. Almost happy, have the feeling that i will change this nexus real silent fan for an scythe s-flex 1600 rpm tha...

Yes ,i'm almost satisfied with the results but .......not totally Changing memory with lower volts is 4 degrees lower, that's the first step i think. Maybe i get a true 120 extreme, but i also heard that the thermalright cooler like my hr-01 plus are not totally flat. I can control that and if so i ...

Ok,have discovered that the ocz platinum memory wich i have running on 1.66 v indeed raises the temp with 4 degrees idle AND at load. So am going to order normal memory from kingston 1366mhz what's running on 1.5v so the temp will idle 42 , load 70. Mmm, still to high in my eyes , would it be a diff...

Turning up the fanspeed of all fans will be a problem, i now have the fans 7v with resistors and connected them with molex on my power supply. Even if i put them on my motherboard , the only fan which i can adjust is the cpu fan. And speedfan isn't working. Only solution then is to 12v all fans, but...

I have choosen this cooler just because it performed very well with less airflow here at spcr, i know the i7 920 is a hotty but i thougt this cooler could handle it with low fan speed. Maybe i can sell it or even turn it back, it's just 2 weeks old or so. But i think it can do the job,the cpu is get...

If not needed i prefer not to undervolt, but it is an option when things will not work out. These fans i am about to order, nexus pwm, scythe slipstream 1200 rpm. I have read things about the scythe slipstream here at spcr that the slipstream 1600 rpm will not unvervolt enough for silence, instead i...

For my feelings a temp under 68 degrees would be perfect under max load . I indeed have read many forums with all having very different max temperatures but a temp under 68 is what the most think is safe . So i go from there. It's not that i'm so into that overclocking, not at all. But my memory wic...

I am very glad with all the quick reactions of you all. One thing i didn,t mention yet and that is that i had to higher my d-ram voltage to 1.66 v to work stable with my ocz platinum xtc 1600 memory. Effect of this was that the idle temps went about 4 degrees higher but under load it didn,t make muc...

The cooler is just a few weeks old, in the beginning i installed it a second time because i thougt maybe i did someting wrong with the thermal compound. But i did not control the cooler itself of any flaws, i'll do that the first thing i order a few fans very soon. Then i get it off again and instal...

Ok ,i run prime95 again without any errors this time. I had to set my d-ram voltage to 1.66V to let the platinum xtc memory work. And now the temps were raising till 76 degrees,this is way to hot in my eyes. So a fan with a little headroom is a good thing is think. What do you think about the nexus ...

Yes .i'm about to order a new cooler fan and the best 2 bets i think are the s-flex 1600 rpm ( i also think the extra 100 rpm over the nexus will not bring that much with the 1200 rpm s-flex model ). And the other one i before mentioned the noctua nh-p12 ( with 1300 rpm i think it's just enougt to m...

Ok , i changed the fan to 12 V and now the rpm is about 1100. After 10 minutes prime95 the max. temp was 72 degrees, but however i got 2 warnings which said "Hardware Failure Detected"! And after 10 minutes the pc rebooted and even that did not go and now the bios said " Bios recovered after overclo...

That's the first thing i will try indeed :)
The nexus should have a rpm about 1000 and maybe this is just enough but i'm afraid not.
The best situation is that the heat of the proc. does not come over 65/70 degrees full stressed with prime95, at least that's my opinion.

Thnx for het quick replys. Yes i'm using a 1366 bolt thru kit with the cooler. And ik specialy purchased this cooler according the good reviews i have read, also here at spcr. Thought this cooler with the nexus @7volt was enough but at load this failed as you can read. I have the cooler now installe...
