You're not understanding me, I think your running 4.6 ghz that's never been stress tested for real world temps at 4.6 ghz OC. I'm failing to see how you can get temps of 55c under load when alot of other reviews/topics I've seen show much higher temps than that on a 2600k for a H70, especially in a case. Have you stressed it with prime95 for at least an hour?.

2500K and 2600K run a different temp because of HT. Sure you could but can you run it for an hour primed?. D14 can run 5ghz stable :)

I've owned a H50, I know how bad they are from first hand experience. When I went to sell mine, Fleabay was full of them second hand. I've read the reviews but considering most of the OC community are about 9-1 against the H series of coolers tells you something. The H50 is inferiour compared to my D14 in every single aspect. Closed loop liquid coolers cool just the CPU unlike the D14 that cools the mosfets, RAM and the whole MB. You can't use maintenance against the D14, I can remove it in about 2 minutes, unlike a closed loop system. You could use the fact that u need LP RAM because the HS covers DIMM's 1 & 2, but that's it. You know there's a reason why the D14 is loved by the OC world. Go on any OC forums and ask D14 or H70!. 9 times out of 10 they'll say D14. I remember the OC test of an H70 series cooler up against a D14. 03:58 will interest you. Do you hear the uneasy silence and BSOD?. He's running a 2600K @ 4.7ghz OC on an open aired upgraded H70 but his temps are alot higher than Mustang's claimed temps.

I don't check sigs, thought you mentioned 920 somewhere? my mistake!. What temps you getting off that H70@ 4.6ghz?.

Really enjoyed the Beta. Caspian Border is a great map. Can't wait till next Friday. The aircraft are painfull to fly when your used to semi realistic sims. Funniest BF3 video ever, the audio is hilarious:

But it could of been more efficient, cheaper and quiter. Ultimatley it comes down to physics. The more surface area the more efficient the heat dissipation will be. *Forgot to add that if you're interested in venturing into OC, the H70's going to hinder your OC capabilities. I personally wouldn't feel happy running a 1st gen i7 @ 4GHZ at 83c+ on any closed loop liquid cooler at the temperatures in that video review, not if you're into mileage anyway.

Awesome is the Noctua NH-D14. Cheaper and quiter too.

Mustang you make your mind up. Cheaper aircooled heatsinks far out perform closed loop passive liquid cooled systems.

Heat comes from the vcore, not the BCLK or multiplier. Even if you undervolt you still use x amount of volts faster which increases the vcore temps. I've never owned or OC'd a 920 but I've read many times that the threshhold for them is 70c. I don't doubt the OC'ing ability but keeping them within the 70c threshhold @ 4ghz on air is supposed to be a nightmare. What temps do they run at on the stock heatsink?. I've read that the only the Noctua DH-14 and Silver arrown are the only air coolers capable of keeping 920's at those temperatures. Anyone thinking of buying closed loop liquid coolers don't, learn a lesson at my expense The OC'er on this review at 4:40 will explain. http://www.youtube.com/user/TimeToLiveCustoms#p/search/0/EKHRPJfZ5Y8

920's a Holy grail!?!. I've read by experienced OC'er's the 920 to be a complete nightmare to keep under the 70c threshhold at @ 4ghz. Make sure you got a good heat sink. :) Most OC'ers are using custom water rigs to keep them below that 70c threshhold. The K series 2nd gens are flying past the 4ghz barrier on air!.

i7 2600k. Dual cores are starting to struggle now. You really should of upgraded to a 2500k for gaming or 2600k for gaming and video/photo editing by now. The 2nd gen 1155 socket will also be compatible with Ivybridge. The current price of 2500k's that can be clocked well over the 4ghz mark is a futre proof no brainer.

Alcohol and weed should be banned outright. Weed makes you stupid, docile and lethargic and it's been linked to Schizophrenia. How many children and men/women are at the mercy of of abusive partners that drink?.

Save your money and wait for Ivybridge.

Make sure you get the i5 2500k not the non k variant. That baby OC's to 3.8ghz on the standard heat sink get a high end heat sink and you can clock it to well over 4ghz easily and stable (a stable 4.6ghz at below 90c has been acheived on the Noctua). DO NOT buy the non k variant, it's locked. The 2500k can only be oc'd on 6 series chipsets so make sure your mainboard is 6 series, the best bang for buck is the Asus P8P67 PRO. Make sure you get either revision 3.0 or 3.1. If you dont get a 6 series chipset you WONT be able to overclock it.

What CPU do you have?. AFAIK Intel's always BSOD on MB's at 100c to protect them from heat damage. I'd be surprised if it's dead from heat. The intergrated water pump/cooling block closed loop type liquid coolers aren't very good due to the radiator size. They have a piss poor surface area and they're not to be mistaken for custom water cooling. You can get much better air coolers like the Noctua NH D14 that'll eat any closed loop liquid coolers.. I had a Corsair H-50 and much prefer my Noctua.

Not sure if it's been posted. Great video.

Stealth on the F-35 is good but it's not free. There are aerodynamic compromises in any angular suface regardless of how many computers you use, computers can't change physics. The most theoretical aerodynamic shape is the sears haack body. The F-15's rear control surface cross section I posted earlier is a sears haack body. It's a teardrop profile albeit with an elongated leading and trailing edge.

So 99% of the time the teardrop is the most aerodynamic efficient shape for wings?. I've never seen an example of oblique shock without a mirror shock wave. The example given was a sharp leading edge, a sharp leading edge like a wedge will produce two oblique shock waves. So am I not correct in my original statement that sharp leading edges cause oblique shock.

The F-15's wing cross section. There all tear drop shaped.

If air reaches speeds of mach 1 at 0.9 only over the positive pressure side of the wing then the negative side must be moving slower. You need air travelling at mach 1 over both sides of the leading edge to induce oblique shock if it was only at mach, Hence the photo.

There are many reasons for drag. the main reason for the friction is because of the water vapour in the air. Water doesn't compress well not unless you add a huge amount of energy to it and even then it's neglegible. Flow seperation is important. Hence the tail of the tear drop. The longer the trailing edge the smoother the flow seperation. The shape varies but predominantly it remains a tear drop shape. A larger leading edge followed by a narrower trailing edge.

According to Fleeman oblique shock is in the transonic region too. It's not just supersonic.

The most aerodynamic part of an aircraft is the wing and guess what shape that is. Sharp leading edges cause oblique shock which has a far higher impact than drag. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_shock Lolz again. :thumbup: Character sniping is low and I'm not going to lower myself to it.

I don't do cryptic sentences, please be more specific.

Let's get this straight. The F-35 is a compromise between aerodynamic efficiency and VLO. Any object that moves through air has to displace it's own volume at any given time. The bigger the object the bigger the displacement. The bigger the displacement the higher the surrounding air pressure which equals drag or as you like to say "draggy". yeah about as smooth as a bag of spanners. The most aerodynamic shape known is the tear drop. The leading edge has no angular surfaces. Lolz @ made in the USA sticker. What part of multi-nation do you fail to understand?.
