CORSAIR Hydro Series H60 (CWCH60) High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

Hope that helps!

Your using an H60 to cool your i7 3970X!?! Wow, the H60 is pretty weak when it comes to cooling. When I was using my i7 2600K I had on an H60 and the system would still get pretty hot. Your i7 3970X produces a lot more heat than my old 2600K, I'm surprised that it's good enough. H100 would be the minimum I'd think for an SB-E cpu.

At the moment I'm using a Noctua CH-14 on my lowly Xeon E3-1225 V2, which has low clearance and will allow it to fit inside my micro atx when I move it over later.

Whaaat? That's the first time I've ever heard someone say that. In fact, the H60 was reccommended. So far, it's done its job. The H100 is what I'm getting in Sept, however, to cool the Core i7 4960X (which ironically, won't produce the same type of heat as the the 3970X).

Only current CPU that needs something greater than H60 would possibly be the FX 9590.

You certanly can't do 5.0 Ghz on an FX 8350 with an H60 without throttling.

It is a share how today a AMD CPU running at 5Ghz can't hold a Intel CPU at 3Ghz in single clock performance... but when I remember around 2004 lol how the things changed.

Intel couldn't even touch AMD much less outperform them until 2006. And they didn't start outperforming AMD CPU's until 2008 with Intel Core 2.

Core 2 was 2006
