Default Can I hit 4Ghz on Air with a Prolima Megahalems?
Hey Guys I will be putting this together probably on the weekend. This is what I have. Will the PSU be enough for the overclocking I want to achieve and also do I have enough air cooling for it?

Motherboard: Asus P5Q Deluxe
CPU: Quad Q9550 @ 2.83Ghz (EO Stepping)
PSU: CORSAIR 650TX 650W
HS: Prolima Megahalems (I need fans recommendations to try to hit 4Ghz)
Video card: BFG GTX 280 OC (Will overclock it as far as it can go)

My case is all hair. On the font of the case under the 3.5" Bays there will be a case fan blowing in. On the side of the case another 120mm fan blowing in. On the back and the top also fans but blowing out.

I really need fans recommendations. I want to keep the case as cool as possible. I don't mind loud fans for the CPU HS if they can do about 115CFM or will I need stronger fans?. Of course the less noise the better. Also I don't think I need fans that are too loud for the case? but which ones are good case fans with awesome air flow?

Yes your PSU will be fine for overclocking and you should get some 38mm fans for your Megatron. (Megahalem)

I rather get 25mm because I didn't buy the extra clips for the HS. Are there powerful enough 120mm x 120mm x 25mm fans? I want them powerful enough to hit 4Ghz but the less loud they are the better.

Also what would you guys recommend for the case fans?

well, for 25mm fans I'd say get 2 hi speed yate loons. They are very cheap but perform really well.

Nothing is wrong with 25mm fans but they tend to push less air than the 38mm fans.

You mean this one? It is very cheap. I think I could get those as case fans actually.

http://www.xoxide.com/yate-loon-highspeed-120.html

I was looking at the SILVERSTONE FM121 which is more powerful and is not louder than the yate loon high speed either. But I might have to look for a better price.

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16811999344

Also how about 2 Scythe Slip Stream (Kaze-Jyuni) 120mm for the heatsink guys?

They seem to be cheap enough and the specs look good.

Model Number SY1225SL12SH
Fan Speed 1,900 rpm
Noise 37.00 dBA
Airflow 110.31 CFM
Rated Voltage DC12V
Rated Current 0.53 A
Bearing Type Sleeve
MTBF 30,000 hours
Connector 3-pin (3-pin to 4pin adapter included)
Dimensions 120 x 120 x 25 mm
Weight 115g
