I've been running my i7-920 D0 with mild OC at 3.2GHz for the last 4+ years with Noctua NH-U12P cooler at decent temperatures. Few weeks ago I tried to up the clock and run it at 3.8GHz (19 x 200MHz @ 1.25vcore) and the temperatures seem to be a bit high:
78C with Prime95 and HT on
69C with Prime95 and HT off
65C with BF4 and HT off.
I need to mention, I haven't replaced the original thermal compound that came with Noctua. Do I need to? It was kinda pain in the ass to install this huge heatsink.
Should I try better fans with more CFM?
Should I just replace the sink with AIO w/c like Corsair H75 or H80i? (bigger one would not fit into my case).
