    hi guys im just after installing a NOCTUA NH-D14 CPU cooler for my i7 930.

    I have turbo mode enabled so i get 22x even though it says 21x multiplier (i think :)), i have the BCLK set to 182 so im getting 4004 Mhz at the moment, whats worrying me is that my temps seem to be in the 75-80 range while stress testing with prime, is this bad? i tired to lower the Vcore (now at 1.2870 V)but kept getting the BSOD so that was a no go.

    Ive had no errors in prime with about an hour of testing its just my temps worrying me, does hyper-threading increase temps much? and is it even worth having on?

    any help or advice would be great

    btw ive a haf 922 case, but i havnt added any extra fans so could that help lower temps?
