I'm gonna pick up one of those Thermaltake A2018's from fry's tomorrow and double the airflow on the TRUE for more palatable temps. I'm touching 70 on these 1200RPM SFLEX's. They're quiet, but damnit, my AC's running full tilt in an effort to keep hell out. I can't hear myself think and the pc has no business being quiet at a time like this!
Yeah man, I had bad luck with the E8500 E0, since a lot of people do 4.5GHz on 1.35v mean, or even less. After many tests done, get it in the E8500 E0:

E8500 @ 3.800GHz = 1.192v
E8500 @ 4.000GHz = 1.240v
E8500 @ 4.250GHz = 1.328v
E8500 @ 4.410GHz = 1.376v
E8500 @ 4.503GHz = 1.416v

Sorry for my English, I hope you understand.
