Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

For some reason my temperatures seem too high..I can only get my oc to be stable with 1.35v vcore and my temps with prime95 around 85*C
I read up some specs the fan speed for Nortua is 1300RPM and TRUE 120 is 1600RPM and i see that other member with TRUE 120 at 3000 RPM?

I've been running my noctua with the 2 fans that comes with the vigor monsoon and use the noctua fans for my case, They should be similar to the ones found with noctua, My 4.0 ghz stable with 1.36v is 82C although i have a good airflow which also helps. Again please don't assume that your heatsink is inferior to the others because many variables can come into play such as airflow, speed of fans and ambient temperature. The noctua's mount is the best i've seen, last one i used that was similar was some Alpha cooler back in the AMD XP days. The noctua's mount is so easy that you do not need to take out the motherboard when u are ready to perform a cooler dusting. I can live with 1 or 2C higher and i have yet to lap this 2nd 920 set up. But taking out the mobo is a huge PIA just to perform a rutine maintenance operation. To me the TRUE is the best but at the expense of convenience. Which is one of the reasons i use the Noctua and recommend the Noctua.
I think the temperature is due to the speed of the cpu and not the voltage. The cpu's runs really hot specially HT on. So if u want to stay in the 4.0ghz in a hot climate WC or extreme Air is a must. I will probably back down my clocks for the Oklahoma summer due to the enormous heat this thing puts out. I have 2x 15k SAS drives which i plan to add another 2. So this is something i have to take into consideration.
