Final after 20 min CPU max 67, Package 63. <<< That 63c on the package is only 1c over what we recommend so i would not have any qualms about that temp in the long run. What has happened is your case and cooler together are likely nOt getting the heat from the cpu and oN out of the case quickly enough.
You could buy the correct PULL fan for the CM 212EVO and maybe get a little more out of it. Another fan to match up with the PUSH one on the EVO right now is the cheapest piece you can try to upgrade with.
If you are nOt going some serious watercooling, then a $100.00 give or take a little for a decent AiO W/Cooler will not buy you over maybe 4.6 or stretching it maybe 4.7Ghz. Too me that is not really cost effective.

You can also get a couple of Air dusting cans and clean that sheet! OCing+dust=Heat!

PcPartpicker seems to think the Corsair H90 is that cooler.
i couldnt mount it... pretty sure i lost the second bracket to mount that fan. >.> besides i'd much much rather go with a closed loop CPU water block cooler (reading JoHan's post... a AIO cooler?) if i was going to go any farther. something along the lines of the Cosair H90.

yah moving tomorrow, will get some cleaning done on it after moves complete. its not really as bad as it looks. camera flash + all black interior makes dust stand out like i would in a foreign nation.
edit: after dilligantly searching Canada Computers stock... i've come to the sad realization that not a lot of the "omg awsome" coolers are listed amonst there stock. i may have to purchase online.

No idea where you live in Canada...
...but their site gives in stock by location if you check it close. I would not go for anything much less than a Corsair 100i. Waste of money. Find the store you might buy from and link it back here like this store front and we can take a look at what is in "that" brick and mortar store with you.

Unfortunatly the H100i doesnt fit in my setup according to PcPartPicker.
What i can fit is listed here.
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/qCjwCJ?edit
from that page just select the cooler and view the list of available coolers.

I had a look at your case to see if I could find any with a Dual Rad AIO water cooling setup in it, that weren't modified. It looks like it can be done but with modifications to either the HD bays or the top of the case. As far as the H90, I looked at reviews on them, which were all on Intel chips. It looks like it will be a better heatsink then the 212 you have but how much more OC you will get, IDK. These Fx 8xxx chips really start heating up when you put your foot into them. There are few of us here that started pushing on these chips on Air or AIO units that didn't eventually go to full blown custom H2O. Just food for thought.

Right you're moving. I had a look at that case too and you'll pretty much need to open the top up to make a rad worth using useable .
I travel through there occasionally on my way to Kingston. Have some family there. I'm in the London area more specifically straight south from Woodstock.

True, I just didn't realize the gap on some chips could be that large. Thanks for the heads up drake!

Small world eh
Kingston's been nice but it's too small for me and my GF moved back to toronto after she finished College, and I originally moved here for a girl who cheated on me, so why stay right?
Little bit of cleaning to do them i'll do some real testing on my oc with some gaming. Think I still have skyrim installed.

Cooling can make a huge difference in voltage requirements. Yes the CPU plays a big part in that too but not necessarily the version but the chip itself. I recently picked up an 8320 and it runs circles around any CPU I've had to date. I'll just direct you to a post I put up less than a week ago and leave it at that. http://www.overclockers.com/forums/...Putzen-Round?p=7749764&viewfull=1#post7749764

Ha ha Gonester, I had a little chuckle when I said it, she didn't think it was so funny though.
