    Temps

    I'm curious what types of cooler people are using on these CPU's.
    As you can see from my sig I'm overclocking my current 6400x2BE at standard voltage, with idle temps reported by Everest of 32>33 celcius and 28>29 as reported by Core Temp.
    Saying only 40 degrees scares me.
    I reckon cooling plays a big part in OC capabilities, not just the CPU but the whole case cooling/ventilation.

    My cooling is alright. Thermal Right Ultra Extreme 120 with 130cfm 120mm fan. Case, which has its side panel removed atm anyhow, is Silverstone TJ-10. Ive a 70mm (from AMD stock cooler) at PWM's and behind the I/O panel on the back I smashed a 60mm fan in exhausting hot PWM air.

    Temps are really not a big concern, Im fine as long it's around 50C, not too much over it though since summer will make ambient rise heh.

    It's just I can barely OC this thing which seems strange. Of course CPU's don't have a 'guaranteed' OC, but this is just strange as adding Vcore doesnt help all.
