![]() Also, I've OC'd it to 3.19 ghz stable on stock, once I get better cooling I might try for 4.

i bet i can overclock my E8400 to 4gigs ![]() i added 2 fans extra to the case (although they're not running at the moment) and i'm using arctic silver (excellent thermal compound... top notch on newegg). PS your video card looks like a beast. btw, why is your PSU at the bottom of your case? |

1- I bet I can OC mine to 4.5, that seems to be the norm for i7s. 2- My case has MORE fans, and they are larger, too. 3- It is a beast. ![]() 4- Because I have a Lian-Li super tower, and if it was mounted at the top, due to how tall the case is, it would be unstable. |

The stuff that came stock. ![]() I won't get arctic silver until I buy my Liquid cooling loop, but I might get a Noctua instead.... Idk. LC is just so freaking expensive. |

liquid cooling is risky isn't it? I mean... one puncture in the system and boom a fried computer. |

It's really not THAT problematic. You always leak-test first, and after that it's unlikely that you will spring a leak. Even if you do, there are additives in the coolant that make it non-conductive. |

Well my old Mobo/CPU is broken, and my old cooler sucks and only fits core i7s. So I don't think that will do you much good. xD |
