Thinking of doing a mild overclock on my E8400, currently using the stock cooler, and got to 3.4Ghz (Prime stable - 30mins so not brilliant, no crash but I didn't like the temp) before the 60degC got a little uncomfortable for my tastes - I'm sure I could push it further with the stock cooler but I'd rather keep things below 55degC.
Running a P5Q-E with all RAM slots occupied (4x2gb sticks), so I'm a little worried the larger HSF's will interfere due to how close the RAM slots are and the heatsinks/heatpipes around the CPU socket. Using an Antec 900v1 - fans on low, so I've got plenty of airflow.
Also I'm looking for a very quiet solution, got a 3-speed Antec 120mm sitting around so being able to use that would be nice, as on 'low' its the perfect 'noise' for me.
Suggestions appreciated.
