the onlyb thing I'm using as far as cooling goes is the intel Stock cooler that came with the cpu, 80mm green led case fan and a 5000 RPM Dominator Ram fan modded to fit on the North bridge....

and here are my temps....

they're definitely better than my temps on the beast with much better cooling at that... and WAY LESS of an overclock mind you...



the only thing questionable is my northbridge volts in Smart Guardian - Smart Guardian warns me that it's bad, but that's less than I use on the Rampage Formula... and DFI in their "official" t2rsb plus overclock guide seems to endorse using upwards of 1,71 voltage on the Northbridge just to achieve a decent overclock.....true!!! it's in their PDF OC-ing guide.. so obviously I'm not worried....


but that's it....

Basically 3.2 to 3.4 GHZ CPU speed for 70.00 Canadian....now that's what I call a good value...

and all the while it stays at 22 Celcius idle and 45 max Load
