Hi I'm looking to overclock my i7-920 but I'm worried about doing it with the stock fan I do have 7 fans running that are on my case but I really need a better cpu cooler, I had a look at the hyper 212 evo and x but I'm just wondering if there is anything better, also do I have to take my mobo out to install a new fan?
If anyone can reply thank you so much!
 
Solution
I think you'd be very happy with either mate,& no not worth buying a i7 950/960 at all - your 920 will hit 3.2ghz without even blinking.

That 780ti is an hard privce to ignore if its guarantedd good condition,how much would a 970 cost you over that??
Just to answer the q before I bought an adaptar for a 6pin to 8pin (I had 2 6 pins for a 260, then I bought a 580 and have been using the adapter ever since) and I think my questions have basically been answered, I think I'm gonna go with the gammaxx 400 and either a 780ti or a 970, thank you madmatt and karadjgne you guys have been so helpful with this stuff, if you have steam or something I can add u guys if u want but other than that thank you again.
 


Haha, that's not very nice is it, Like I said if either one of you wanna add me on steam or something I can give you my name !! :)
