Just installed a hyper 212!

So I bought a Coolermaster hyper 212 a couple days ago and got around to installing it tonight and man am I pleased! With the stock cooler I idled at around 55-60°C and now after installing the hyper 212 I idle at around 23-24°C. Amazing!! Think im going to try and overclock to 4Ghz... any tips?

EDIT: Anyone have any good Overclocking tutorials?

really... is it that hard to google?

There are AMD 965 overclocking tutorials everywhere if you look for them...

I know that I was just checking to see if anyone who is into overclocking knows of a good tut, so I do it properly.

I've been meaning to get one, but I'm kinda scared as I had trouble putting my PC together in the first place. :(

Yeah, I think I have to do that for mine. I may get around to it as I've heard great things and my CPU does take a beating on certain games.

[QUOTE="-Unreal-"] 3.4GHz on an i7 920 is a bit dissapointing.-Unreal-

Have a 212 in my closet if that counts lol. Not a bad cooler by any means but it didn't match my build scheme heh.

Yea with my HAF 932 I had to remove the motherboard to get at the backplate, but its really not a challenge, just a little time consuming.

Until a certain point OC'ing a phenom II is quite straight forward . Just go into bios and raise the cpu multiplier Most phenom II's on air can hit 3,8-,3,9ghz without voltage tweaking ( though some will only get to 3,6ghz while a few lucky ones can even do 4-4,1ghz )
Just oc in small steps until you find a stable OC. Start off with 3,6ghz which is quite achievable and then go 100mhz increments until 3,9ghz and if you feel lucky try 4,0ghz ( though you will most likely need to increase cpu voltage to go over 3,9 ) adamosmaki

Really? I can hit 3.6 without voltage tweaking, but after that I crash in about 15mins running prime95. I really want to hit 4.0ghZ, but im kinda scared to increase the voltage.

Which Voltage would I increase?

why does my h100 idle at 25C -27C :( but then goes up to 58c-62c on load, thought watercooling was supposed to be good. Maybe i've overclocked too much but i dont care hahaSPBoss

How is that even remotely hot?


I have a 212+ tc, it's okay.
98c on load, 1.5 volts on my 2600k.

4.6ghz, but my 2600k hits a brick wall at 4.4ghz.

If I go past that, I need a lot of voltage.

98c is only during intel burn test and prime95 small FFT. It's not a real issue(blender render max temp 70c, video encoding 78c)

I kind of want a h80i, but I rather just spend the money on a sierra 313u for my laptop.

I'd get an actual WC setup since h80i is kid stuff, but I move my computer too much.
