I did post this in folding forum as well but thought I would get more of a response here.. so,
My H50 came today in the mail, man did I underestimate 120mm.
I was pretty sure mounting it wouldn't be a huge issue, it was after all, only a single rad with one 120mm fan, however sure enough my case has NO 120mm mounts, so my next purchase will likely be a storm scout.
Anyways, it's setup and working fine, may not be as esthetically pleasing or quiet as I'd hoped with the side of my case off but it dropped my idle down all the way from 36ish to 21. This let me bump that vcore.. and oh I did.
After a couple hours of tinkering I got her stable at 3.9GHz at 1.535, idling at 27 and under load @ 39. This boosted my PPD significantly, more than I though for only another three hundred mhz. Note: I really really really wanted 4.0GHz stable but I stopped when it BSOD'd Prime95 @ 1.55v.
