Been overclocking for a while now, with my Xigmatek Thors Hammer. Yes it's a bit dusty but at 1.440 vcore its getting a bit toasty, near 60c on large FFTs (using prime95). Usually at 56C.
Wondering if its worth upgrading my cooler. I have MX-2 paste which does its job effectively. I only have one fan on the cooler because... well... theres no room in my case
the thing is huge. My hands are too big to get a fan on the top side of the heatsink
I have seen the new AC A30 cooler, "apparently" 300w cooling capacity. Anyone have any experience on it?
I need something a lot better than this cooler.
Case cooling:
2x 140mm front fans (63CFM each)
1x 120mm side fan (61CFM)
1x 120mm rear (61CFM)
2x 120mm top (61CFM each)
1x 120mm CPU attached (53CFM)
All my fans except the CPU cooler is the same model, so airflow is balanced.
+1.428v = hot
Anything to cool my chip down much better than my Thors Hammer?
Water cooling is a no go for me. Expensive + don't trust it.
Any suggestions would be great
Oh and this is for an AMD chip, so cooling is facing up (though the AC A30 can be mounted whatever way)
Thanks everyone!
