Greetings. I currently have an i7-870 @ 4.0ghz at 1.3v with an H50 w/ single fan configuration and am getting around 87c load on prime95 after running for about 5 minutes. I would like to get this down to around 70c or even lower but I'm not looking to break the bank so to say on a new cooler. I was thinking something in the 30-50 dollar range.
I have the H50 as intake and have tried push vs pull with the fan with no change. I suppose I could add another fan and make it push/pull intake and see if that keeps things under wrap but I would prefer to get down to the 75-80c mark instead for a couple hours of prime.
I have the fractcal design define mini. 2x120mm intake front, 1x140mm intake side, 1x140mm exhaust top, 1x120mm intake (h50) back.
At stock its doing 55-58 (core variance) with prime95.
Possibly considering the hyper 212+, evo or the thermalright true spirit 120
