I do the same :D. But with today's intel, Nvidia and AMD's such low idle power consumptions I am leaving my PC without using sleep mode. I always disable screen savers, HDD's sleep mode etc etc for reasons that either I had problems nor other people that I knew had problems. pe: HDD sleep mode destroyed my friend's 2TB HDD and WD responded that it could happen with sleep mode cause it turn it off and on etcetc... Good for him that it was inside the warranty... So its too expensive in reality to save electricity!... :P

@kitty: im pretty certain there will be a very nice temps drop from a Hyper 212. Im running mine with two Gentle Typhoons push/pull (only 1450rpm fans) with 1.330Vcore (2500k) and during gaming it never goes above 66*C. If you find one for $60 i'd get it, it looks slick and dead silent with great performance.
Really you can't compare the o/c GOD of the last five years with Haswell.
If you had 66C, he will have 80C+ maybe 90... for sure...
I can explain the fatal accidental(?) errors that Intel made to Ivybridge and then to Haswell and minimize their o/c potential but I think thats not the point here...
Wow, I'll turn off the HDD sleep mode, I don't wanna risk something like that happening. I cant really afford to be replacing anymore things atm. I'm trying to upgrade my cards to something better, so I'm saving. :P I don't use any screen savers, just turn off display. But thanks for the heads up. I'm gonna make sure my computer stay on, or its completely off. No sleep mode.
As for the H60. I was just wonder if it would improve my temps any. I see low 60's with this 212 and on a hot day, it gets close to 70. It can get really hot in this room since I'm the second floor.
Things shall improve in the future as I'm going to be downstairs where it will stay cooler. But I was just wondering if it was better. As for what Horgen says, I don't mind the 120mm rad.
