Quick question... I'm loading at about 73-75c with my Xigmatek S1283 with the stock fan. I gather the fan it comes with is pretty bad for cooling (very quiet but something like 52cfm rated). Would getting a Scythe S-Flex SFF21G 120mm fan for it like this: http://www.amazon.com/Scythe-S-FLEX-...dp/B001JKTQM8/ improve the temperatures significantly? From various reviews of a similar sink (CoolerMaster Hyper 212) the better fan makes an ~8c change... would this be reasonable to expect in my situation? Chasis is a CoolerMaster RC690. I want more clocks but the thermals are getting too rough if I push the voltage up... as in 81c-83c. Also looking at http://www.frozencpu.com/products/10...l?tl=g36c15s60

Hm, I guess while I'm at it... anyone have a comparison of Arctic Cooling's Ceramique (which I use) vs. the newer MX-2/MX-3/MX-4 pastes?

I'd like to get the cooling under control if I can... fan is my #1 concern at the moment, really though... then push for 5ghz+ .
