Any very good air coolers?

Thermalright XP-90, XP-120, SP-94 are all tested and true.

Zalman CNPS7000B-Cu Copper, another good one.

My mobo wont allow me to use 1.65 volts. But it does allow me to use 1.68 volts. Is it safe to put it to 1.68 volts?

 

[andyl33t]

anyone know about the voltage?

Well, 1.68v is getting a little high. A little higher than I would use, but I'm a little conservative. What's the next lower setting available? What you use also depends on actual measured vcore. Some mobos undervolt a little, so you might get by with a little higher setting. That CPU-Z screenshot you posted earlier shows 1.568v, what did you have it set in the BIOS?

 

[andyl33t]

mine overvolts. i had it set to 1.5 on the bios and on cpu-z it says 1.6
im gonna leave it how it is to be on the safe side.

I agree with Batboy, if your borad is does'nt undervolt it, 1.68 is a little on the high side, esspecially with default cooling such as you're using. Again as i said, stay around the 1.6v mark with the default cooler to be safe.
