Compatible waterblock for the mosfets on a MSI X99S Gaming 9?

At stock like 3.6 + turbo my max temps were no more than 70 degrees while Priming. Not going to risk it in the 80's till winter. Thanks

you should not use prime95 to test
just occt -linepack non-avx
prime causes the chip to automatically add 0.1v

Thats good to know. Thanks.

the only time you need to run prime or some other AVX intensive load
is if you wanna check the absolute maximum voltage the chip will ever see under 100% stress
and even then just long enough to get a reading on the vcore
if you test with prime it will throw a bunch of voltage at the chip which will skew any stability testing you did
run OCCT-Linpack on all cores non-avx for your stability/temperature.voltage testing

Use ASUS RealBench instead. The H.264 stress test uses AVX video encoding which seems to be the best way to check stability.
