Sandybridge CPU/system with pic's

Yeah a cold draft would likely have you in the low twenties, I'd be interested in some OCCT temps as well though .

Am I correct in thinking all new sandy bridge CPU's have HT?

The 2500 is a straight-up quad-core (no HT).

It's only 4.2Ghz turbo correct? Meaning 1 core at 4.2Ghz. Not that drastic to need a bigger heatsink

Guess I'll be looking at the k series.

yeah pretty much, its a strange way as the overclock is now not really an overclock but a boost to one core

Silly question but whats the distance from the center of the fan on the heatsink to the first memory slot, just wondering how many slots the scythe mugen 2 will block off with a fan.
