I recently ordered a bunch of air cooling stuff for my pc to lowere the temps from the mid 40s. I added a front intake replaced the back fan and added 2 panaflo u1s in push pull. Yet my temps are stil a bi lesstham 40 and loud as hell. This is on a stock i7 so it must be my CPU or heatsink then right?

What is your ambient temp?

What TIM are you using? What are load temperatures?

Ambient is no more than 25. Using mx2 and load is 50

I don't own an i7, but I believe 50ºC under load isn't half bad. The sensor is also very inaccurate at that temperature, so in reality you could have between 45-55ºC. Overclock that thing!

Yea it used to be but I lower since my temps were 50 at idle with slipstreams. I might have to downgrade to yate loons on the heatsink though too damn loud even with a fan controller

Your temps are perfectly fine...overclock till you hit 75c load.

i7's tend to run hot but that seems a little high at stock. Slipstreams are not great fans for heatsinks especially on a TRUE due to their crappy static pressure. You should use a 120x38 fan San Ace, Panaflo, Delta or Kaze or use 2 120x25 S-flex or Gentle Typhoons but Yate Loons might give you better temps. If I was in your situation I would just overclock and see what happens. I know that Corsair is pretty hot looking but that case is really ment for water cooling and not air cooling. Im not a fan of cases with bottom intakes even though you added a front intake to your case
