CPU is being cooled by Hyper 212 evo, I can get to 4.4GHZ and the temps are 69C on the socket and my cores are 51C after 30min of prime95. I try to get 4.5GHZ and temps go above 72C on the socket and throttles. Would buying a bigger cooler like Thermalright SilverArrow SB-E Extreme or something in that size range help at all with the socket temp enough it would matter? I tired fans in every direction the only placement that did anything was a fan on the back of the board on-top of the Socket itself and it only brought the temp down 3 degrees Celsius. I have a 20 degree difference between socket and core.
