Default Looking for feedback on my cooling setup
I went mad a few days ago and purchased 3 silverstone 121s (110 CFM) and a Zalman MFC2. With this current setup, my idles are 35c and my loads are 56c at 3.86 GHz, 1.55v. Haven't lapped yet, so I might do that later as well. What do you think? Comments, suggestions? Thanks.

Your temps are great considering the voltage. and the frequency. But i'm pretty sure you can eke out a few more degrees by lapping!

Nice one vector.

You have a very large and spacious case. Cable management is your friend (as are zipties). Try routing stuff behind the mobo tray, airflow is critical when you've got that kind of OC (especially for your RAM).
