Hello,
I'm new to this forum and also new to overclocking (for 7months now, and its addictive )
I recently bought a Scythe infinity/mugen to overclock my Xeon x5450 (3.0 ghz) on an Asus P5KE- wifi (lga 775)
I managed it to get it to 3.6 Ghz with a max temp on core 1 on 76 C with prime95 (15min). But I tought I can push it a little harder with dual fans and better one's. Do you guys have any reccomendation on good (cheap) fans for this cooler? And where can I buy the metal mounting system for on the heatsink.
Also I have the idea that the Xeon x5450 generates allot of heat, is this true ?
The overclock is btw for gaming purposes.
Greetings Ramon
