    i7 4790K@4.4Ghz + Noctua U12P SE2 - Temps acceptable under these conditions?

    So I recently built a new rig with an i7 4790K in it. I expect this rig to last me for quite some years, so I'd like to make sure it's operating within safe "happily ever after" parameters. During initial tests the CPU was running quite hot. With Turbo Boost Enabled we're talking up to...

    i7 920@3.8ghz. Noctua NH-D14. Temps, Voltage, More OC? And a DRAM Frequency question.

    Hey there! I'm fairly new to the world of overclocking. Specifically, this is my first ever OC. Thought I'd push my i7 920 (D0) so it can better fit a new R9 280. I've had an NH-D14 for a few good years. I didn't buy it for OC-ing. I bought it because at the time my temps at stock speeds...
