Looks like Nan's gaming has the 2011 retention kit now for the Thermalright heatsinks. Also, the True Spirit that they sell is another really good heatsink, from the reviews I've seen. I'll most likely be throwing on of those on a q9550 that I have laying around and use it as a server. The 120mm version is only $30, which is a great price.

What's insane to me is how FAST the cores claim temp changes. Dropping 40-50C in a few seconds when load drops from highest to 0.

The core is pretty small, you remove the source of heat and it will dissipate pretty quick. It doesn't sound like the heatsink is going to handle much more of an overclock though.

Stuff like Prime 95 small FFT and intel burn test pushes the CPU past anything that it will see in any day-to-day situation, right? My system is stable at 4.3ghz running those, but the CPU can hit ~95 or so due to my employment of the Hyper 212 vs something more beefy. It idles in the 30s, though.

CPU is probably throttling, if you are getting that hot. Note the Gflops in IBT and compare them as you lower your overclock a bit and test some more to test for throttling. You'll see the Glops increase as you lower the speed, if it is.

So after about a month+ running my 4670k at 4.4ghz with an H100i doing the CPU cooling, it seems like my cpu cooler is constantly pegged and is much louder than what I expected a liquid cooler to be. Is 2330ish RPM what I should expect on the pump?



Well it is only 37 degrees, why not slow the fan way down if it is loud?
