    Nice build.

    Did you use the stock thermal pad/goo on the H50? If yours is like mine, it could probably benefit from some lapping and some AS5. I got 5c+ temp drop overclocked and yours is quite a bit more then mine.

    no lapping, just standard as h50. ran burn in / stress test for a good hour (real temp) showing 53c max i also run real temp in background while gaming, metro 2033 bullet storm, dead space 2 (awesomely freaky game) dirt 2, never gets past 48-50c. on my previous air cooler ISGC-100 could never run safely at 4.2, was getting up to 70c after first minute of stress test. the h50 is a bloody good cooler.
