Theyre normal for a clock like this on an i7 at 4Ghz. Cooling with a Noctua NH-U12P plus 2 Scythe Slipstream in Push pull.

thermal grease is OCZ Freeze.

Yate Loons were to hard to get! lol.

NC, it's been going for 20 minutes in the SS, 40 minutes now.

This is pretty dissapointing, because when I asked around Xtremesystems I was told the slipstreams were good.

I never even called it stable, nowhere in the post, or title did I say it was.

Oh well. At least i've got the system, and it's running. I'm hoping temps are around 55-60c for real world tasks like gaming, maya, 3dS, etc.
