I've got my 3770k to 4.9ghz stable, Now what? :P

So i've got my 3770k to 4.9ghz STable and it is stable according to me, 20 runs of linx with AVX @ 15gb (i've got 16GB Ram) i hit 84C average 77 being lowest on core one and 87C being highest on core 3.

How do i lower temps, My gaming temps are about 60C give/take, IS there anyway to lower temps? i was going to go for 5ghz, but that'd require more then 1.320 volts, And the temps spike way to high for that.

Sc2, Rift, World of warcraft, Skyrim all benefit from high clock speeds, And i happen to play all but skyrim.



I was thinking of getting a TEC for it, But i don't know who makes one, as i certainly cant do it myself, I've got an RX 360 and EX 360 rad, so more then enough dissipation

My gaming temps.png 3906k .png file Here is a pic of my gaming temps with wow open.


My setup is..

HAF X
120MM fan just behind front grill, then 200mm fan between that and HDD RACK, Flushing air inwards, I have a 200mm fan on the side panel flushing air inwards, The top rad being the only rad inside the case, is the EX 360, that has 2 200's above it then 3 120 or 140's below it (can't remember sorry) Then, On the back i have a rad mounted with a koolance rad bracket 3 ultrakazes and 2 ordinary corsair fans in push pull, the kazes doing the pushing.

IT goes
Res>Cpu>Gpu>gpu>RX 360 (External rad) > EX 360 (INternal rad blowing air into the case) >REs (My pump is in my res)

Due to me keeping EIST on, Cpu speed fluctates when the game is not in focus. Throttlestop has my max temps, but they tend to sit at about 60

5ghz Evaded me on the 2600k i used to have, I would like 5g's on IVy, and yes before anyone asks, i've got two 7970s in crossfire, Though crossfire is disabled for wow, due to having DX11 + water issues with cat 12.7

I'd like to get a Drop in TEC like mindchill makes, But i seem to have lost contact with him, he's probably busy.


Even at full load when i'm folding for hours on both 7970s + the 3770k, The radiators are icy cold to touch and temps are still low, The 7970s never go above 36C since the second rad was added and thats with furmark.

I just checked the IVy stable club thread, And i'd have king of the hill of that, But i don't want to brutalise my chip for 12 hours with prime, Given primes failure rate in the past....

PRIME SAYS ITS GOOD TO GO
*Launchs wow*
*Bluescreens due to instability*

But if i was able to find a TEC, i would go all out on it, I'd want to be sitting at 15-20C LOAD max.

Edit: That was supposed to be an edit to the above post O_o, firefox you is wierd...

The main problem with phase, is i hear it can make ALOT of noise and it tends to be very complicated.

correct me if i am wrong, But isn't phase change cooling similar to how a fridge works?
