Might be a good idea, I'll try to check for the same fan. Either way, the CM R4 seems to do its job for now
So, after a good 6 hour (with a pause of ~10m to install the 2nd fan) of Prime95, here are my results: Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
Sorry about Overdrive being in french, but should be the same as the english one.
Thank alot for all the tips, I'm pretty happy with the performance boost

That is a very nice overclock. If youve made it 6+ hours with Prime95 and are in the low 40's, youre set. Even if your core temp sensor is off, your socket temp is only 52 and thats always gonna be higher than your core temp and 52 is a very nice temp. Heck, its better than mine and Im 1MHz slower than you!
Another thing to remember is case fans. Im a big believer in them and think they can make a big difference. Ive got 5 running in my Antec 300 right now with 3 of them running as intake and 2 as exhaust. Ive got pretty low ambient temp since my computer room is in my basement. It really helps my GPU cause Ive got a case fan blowing right onto it. That thing stays in the 60's almost all the time.

), is there a benefit from using a different thermal paste (like an Artic Silver 5) instead of the one that CM give with their Hyper 212?
