Indeed, dropped the multi as above 3.2 I need to up the voltage and I can't be bothered, so i just pushed the FSB up to 1600 and and nocked one off the multi, problem solved.

and yes 45*c is full load

Nice temps. I am looking for a cpu cooler. I would have to mod my case for your cooler. Side pipe about 3 inches from MB. Just need to take the time and do it.

If you want an ultra120 in that youd probably have to sacrificed some of the side fans.

I wont have any side fans. I dont really care of the airflow im just gonna cool each component as best as i can.

Good cooling starts with good air flow, only reason my cooler works so well with no fan is the fact my case removes over 250CF of air every minute.

So ur saying airflow is better then putting a vent on the cooler?

My CPU right now is at 34c, and it's overclocked from 2.4 to 3.2.
I tried the V1... only stayed in the computer for a week. The temps sucked compared to my Tuniq 120 and it was stupid loud. I ended up turning the fan down to shut it up, but that made the temps suck worse.

To OP: The Thermalright is the best, but the Tuniq works well and is also fairly quiet. You might want to look at the Scythe Ninja too. It's HUGE, but very quiet.

You must've done something wrong then. I've had absolutely no problems with my V1. Plus, you don't have to take out the motherboard to install it.

Not better but it's important, make sure you have a lot of air leaving the case at least.

I need to find a way to cool the chip set heatsink and the memory with a single 120/140mm vent. Any ideas?

I just put a 40mm fan on my chipset, my RAM doesn't get hot again thats probably due to air flow though.

Those small fans are loud. I prefer big ones. Ill figure out something.

this should help you work out what to put where.

Make sure you end up with negative air pressure (i.e. more air going out than you have coming in) and it should all be fine.

For reference I have 191CFM going in and approx 220CFM going out.

2 front 120mm intakes one 120mm side intake, one 200mm vent fan in the top, one 120mm vent at the back and a 120mm in the PSU.
