Buying cooler for amd 965 be

[stayplation3]

Im getting a new liquid cooler for my amd 965 BE. i was thinking the Corsair H80, my case only has room for 120mm and i want the best you can get for AM3 socket. is this the best? its the best ive found. also, does the cooler come with coolant in it? or do i have to buy my own and fill it up? if so then whats the absolute best coolant to get? price doesnt matter. im wanting to push it to at least 4.2 or higher if i can. also, you can see my vcore is already pretty high... if you think i will hit a overclock wall and not even be able to get the most out of an awesome cooler, please say so

I found a noctua nh-d14 for $50 I would look on some forums to see if anyone is selling anything.

ok so heres what i found so far. CORSAIR H80 (CWCH80) High Performance Liquid CPU C... for my cooler, replace the corsair h80 fans with 2 of these bad boys Delta FFB1212EH-F00 120mm Case Fan, good for me i have 2 120mm fan slots directly above my cpu to instantly pull the hot air back out with 2 of these super bad boys! 1ST PC CORP. PFB1212UHE-F00 120mm Case Fan, and NZXT FN-200RB 200mm Case Fan in the bottom front for intake, the intake on the corsair cooler is 150cfm each, the out right above it is 252 cfm each, so im putting a 200mm 166cfm fan in the front as intake to make up for it so the air flow from all fans should be somewhat even. you can check my case its under my system specs. sooooo what do you guys think? price and noise is no factor. edit: im inpatient so i went ahead and bought all this tonight. ill update you guys when i get it on tuesday

That delta is not needed. The 56.4 dBA will drive you MAD!! It will be super loud and unbearable. If you want nice fans that are quite and move air, I recommend these

SilenX IXP-76-18 120mm Case Fan

90CFM but only 18dBA

i know but i dont care lol i just want to see the low temps. im sure it will probably annoy me eventually but ill just put the stock fans on if i dont like it lol

 

[stayplation3]

omg i got it all next day shipping i got everything i listed above. going to install now with stock fans on the h80 do some tests then install the badass 120x25 fans on it and do more tests. btw i ran 59c at stock speed on my cpu with prime 95. ill post back later when im done

 

[stayplation3]

now its 25c idle and 39c under prime95. is that good?

 

[stayplation3]

is it?

 

[andresgriego]

LOL, spaz.

What were the temperatures before the HSF switch?

Oh oh, gotta pull it off now ...

(4GHz @ ~1.4v & temperature < 50C = good)

 

[techtard]

Yes your temps are good. The real question is how are your ears?

 

[stayplation3]

f**ck those fans lol i put the stock fans back on xD. before on prime95 i got up to 65c stock now i get 39c at stock 3.4ghz and at 4ghz 1.45v i get 45c. so thats good? wasnt sure since when i set it up with the original tim it was so hard to keep it from moving while pressing down on it hard and trying to install the screws omg it was so hard so ofc it moved too much so i had to take it off clean the cpu and pump off and apply as5 i was so pissed off also buyer beware Scythe SCURK-3000 Universal Retention Kit 3 was so hard to install with basicly no instructions and a million little parts too me like 30 minutes just to do that part i almost gave up and broke it all. also, if i try to go over 4ghz i get bdos 124, i reboot and my mb gives the message over voltage error ( i didnt change the voltage ) so i turn down the multiplier to get back to 4ghz and it runs fine. can some1 help? i tried setting the cpu nb to 2600 leaving the cpunb voltage on auto but i cant get past 4ghz without getting bdos 124 every time
