Well I installed my ultra 120 extreme and the temps are ok, but I had to take my side 250mm fan off my thermaltake armor case. I have two more 120mm intake fans for the front arriving today, and I have another 120mm with clips for a push/pull setup.

Well I did tell you that it was big . You should have got the ultima-90 its baby brother which almost holds the same temps. If you had got that you could have kept the 250mm fan and had the same temps near as damn it. I have a cheap eZcool h550 case which also has a 250mm fan on the side panel which is why I got the ultima - no headroom for bigger HSF. But in this case bigger isnt a lot better-lol!. What fans did you get - the sythe sflex , panaflow or Silent eagle 2000 all have high CFMs and are reasonably quiet. did you take the opportunity to check that the IHS and HS are flat when you fitted the 120?

Just got this one last night. Fired up at 3.6 at 1.35v real 6+ hours prime.





Will test further over next few days.

It's not a big deal at all. I installed my icages (3 120mms for intake) and I ran Prime95 for 4 minutes to test temps. I then installed the 250mm fan on the outside of the case and the temps were exactly the same.....so no big deal. I'm sure after a long period of time running prime the heat will build up, but my second 120mm fan for the CPU will fix that

Very nice OC but don't your hands get cold working in such a cold room
