letme ask you about the OCZ Vendetta 2 you have. you asy your haven heating issues with it?
if you look at some of my recent post it shows the temps in there somewhere look at them and see if they are close to what you are getting.. i think the vendetta is doing a great job for me. im running at 3.7ghz now and on my E8400 i had it at 3.4ghz and had the same temps aor a little higher with the artic cooler freezer 7 pro



that will be good. try this try that thing..im still learning this stuff so any info is great for me.. and if i can help out any thats a plus for all..lmao
Thanks for that. My philosophy on OC is to find the edges of what can be achieved and then balance that with what I consider a reasonable 24/7 operating voltage/temperature. So I "may" get up to 1.35V just to see how high I can OC but this is not on my watercooled rig so temps will be my limiting factor I think.

I actually own 3 Vendettas (2 of the original 92mm ones and the 120mm version). I personally think they are one of the best performance per $$$ heatsinks going.

My Vendetta 2 I actually lapped to get the heatpipes silky smooth and I also bought the bolt down kit from OCZ to get good CPU contact. I also lapped the Q6600 that it was sitting on and used MX2 paste. And the end result of all that work.... about 1 or 2 degC. Oh well it was worth it just to see my wife's face as I sanded my processor and heatsink on her granite counter top

No doubt the Vendetta is a gem for the money.
