Yeah i got like 9C cooler with the XP-90C but that's with the case open .. with my case closed i'm up at like 58C full load in crossfire (XP-90C at 4ghz). but my air flow in this case is terrible .. Antec Sonata II there's just like a 120mm fan at the back sucking the air out of the case and a kind of annoying air chamber providing "fresh air" directly to the cpu. I could still fit that "exhaust" removing a piece of it.
Anyways .. what's the max safe temp / max safe vcore for that cpu ?

If you have a tube of A S 5.. put it to good use.. still is pretty good, if you're going to buy one, get a tube of arctic cooling mx-2, works better and is cheaper..
Nice clocks mate
