first things first. On friday my 1st mistake was grabbing this cheap rosewill cooler and hastily strapping it on. I wasnt planning on using air too long but when I ran 1.4vcore and my temps were getting to 67F I knew something wasn't right. Then today I remembered a few years back I got this massive cooler from scythe to review. do you guys remember the OROCHI?

Dude I found it in the box in the kitchen cabinet and low and behold the amd plate was already mounted. Check this out.

I went in the bios and kept the same clocks and temps after the massive air cooler. I was getting 51c before and now i have like 31c. I would love to join you guys on H20 but I dont plan on keeping this on too long this was meant for Ln2. but until I get this figured out Its nice to have some better air cooling. Right now my main goal is trying to get this thing up to 5ghz and doing some wprime runs. right now its at 4.8. the guide has been an asset thus far.
