I've spent the last week getting back into the scene, researching latest pc hardware, best OC rigs, etc etc - and finally made an order (http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=647190). I have done a /lot/ of reading, so my questions below are because I haven't reached a conclusion from my research. I appreciate your input!
My goal is to hit at least 4ghz w/HT, on a i7 920, with a max load temp of 65c without being stupidly loud. I am using a CM HAF 922 case.
Questions:
I included a blank template JPG too, in case you want to suggest a better airflow diagram! (thanks!)
There are lots of options, again my goal is 4ghz w/HT 24/7, decent safe cpu load-temps, and not too much volume! I'll have a fan controller for fans, so can always turn down anyway..

Questions:
- I've ordered a couple of Akasa Apache Black super silents for push/pull on the Corsair H50 cooler. (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-057-AK) - Are these good enough? I don't want noisy deltas!
- Is my goal realistic? I understand all the variables, but I'd be uncomfortable with my i7 running at 75c+ under load. I'd probably limit my 24/7 OC to whatever tops out load temps at 65. Is this logical?
- I understand airflow is important, could you look at my diagram below and tell me how to improve the flow?
