i just installed a thermalright ultra 120 extreme with shin-etsu paste.
my ninja was a POS compared to this cooler.
my load temps with the ninja were hitting 69/71 @ 3.4ghz with the same volts as my loads now @ 3.42ghz being 10c less at 61/59. ambient temps have been more or less the same, high 70F in the room, and humid.
i also idle 5 degrees lower.
i benched this at 3.5 for 15 minutes which is nothing, and at 3.42 first for an hour - all stable of course - but i gotta goto bed its late eastern time and worky in the mornin.
i expect to be stable close to 3.6 or higher but ill run this 24/7 at 3.42 (im no xtreme oc'er) since my idle is nice and 61 load is dandy with me since real world usage will never get there - and provide an updated OC after hours of prime stable on my high oc.
with both coolers i ran an antec tri-cool on high with the rear exhaust on high (due to summer)
in fall/winter i run the fans on medium or low.
