I know I could've pushed further but somehow my motherboard wouldn't let me get past 4GHz :( I currently have an M3A78-CM motherboard and I might try this extreme air cooling project again (with moar fans) once i get a new motherboard with a proper chipset, possibly the MSI 790FX-GD70 board.

Thanks for looking! :)


PS: For those interested in knowing how extremely loud it was while I did this session: [link]
