im currently running an tbird 1.2 @ 1.5volts stable on kg7r mobo w/ a swiftech MCX462 hs... the hs is is the first version, not the one w/ the "-U" and my temps r in the mid 30s during idle and low/mid 40s under load. i want to oc my system, but when i bump the vcore up to 1.85, my temps go up to the 50s and is unstable. i have 2 intake and 2 exhaust fans, the wires r neatly zip tied so it does not block airflow. my question is whether i should buy a new slk800 hs and use a volcano 9 fan or go for an alpha w/ volcano 9 fan? will i notice a good temp drop so i can oc? thanx

that heat sink will probably do ok.... is it a 60 or an 80mm? if its an 80 you might want to consider getting a larger fan for it.... also you may just want to get the ax-7 its alot cheeper weighs less and preforms about the same the slk-800 is just slightly better weighs a ton and cost 3x as much.
