+3) 179fsb = passed! :Q ...(57/33*C max) <---- thats 3.4ghz on def vcore folks!
+4) 180fsb = failed 🙁

that T&T fan isnt a great fan ~ ill expect the panaflo 92mm to be much better and a tad quieter.

dont forget,
the 92mm does help to cool the board and ram too 😉

I will have mine end of this /beginning of next week. Never had a Panaflo on the HSF before. I have a couple for the case.

I bought 2 off a guy in a forum the Panaflo High and Low.I want to check them both out and see if there is much of a difference.My MCX4000 will be here early next week to cause of the holidays.
 
Maybe the SLK-900 can match it but the MCX4000 will be hard to beat thats for sure.Thugs,I can see why you wan to drop a few C's.:Q
 
180fsb failed 🙁

+3fsb on same vcore is awesome tho! 😀

woohoo! ~ 3.4ghz club 😉 🙂 ....of course i still have more testing to do before concidering it 100% stable.
