Here are some quick temps of the cooler,

IDLE (NO OVERCLOCK) They are very low because Turbo Boost kept the CPU multiplier low, it is actually 1600 Mhz @ 0.975 VCORE.



LOAD TEMPS (NO OVERCLOCK) Here Turbo Boost took the processor to 3400 Mhz @ 1.168 VCORE



IDLE (OVERCLOCKED) Here I disabled Turbo Boost switching frequencies and now it 4300 Mhz @ 1.240 VCORE (A 1 Ghz Overclock)



LOAD (OVERCLOCKED) Same 4300 Mhz @ 1.240 VCORE (Notice no VDROP here because I set LLC to "Ultra High", it might rise few degrees in temp but provide stable overclock)



Ok I am still fiddling around with new bios settings, so I will post some more temps and possibly with higher clocks.

Thanks to all for wonderful comments. :)

Yes bro I got this cooler from abroad, it has very similar design like CNPS10x Extreme but it has a very quiet fan with 1400 - 1500 RPM max. I feel no noise at all when it runs on full speed, I also noticed that due to quiet design and moderate speed it does not have a very good airflow, I am planning on trying a high speed fan on this cooler (like Cooler Master Excalibur) and see if I can shave off some centigrade s :D overall I am satisfied with the performance of this cooler because with its quiet design it is providing reasonable cooling and when I installed this Cooler I was in hurry and wanted to get my system up and running quick due to some office work so I didn't used the provided Thermal Compound (ZM-STG2) instead I used cheap Intel thermal paste syringe which was lying in my drawer :Q because I knew that in hurry I will mess up and waste the precious thermal compound provided by Zalman so I kept it safe, I will reinstall the cooler with provided thermal compound and see if it makes any difference.

Yes bro good catch, this is 19'' Acer LCD and it is quiet small for a monster card like 6970 2 GB, actually I got this LCD when I had Radeon 4870 512MB it was ok for a 512 MB graphic card but not for this :D I will get a bigger LCD soon.

Congrats Bro... Great Purchases there... and yes u need to upgrade ur LCD aswell now :D...
And plz dont go for CM Excalibur fans... they are super loud .... if u want something quiet with good airflow, u will need something like a noctua, enermax, silverstone fan ... even xigmatek fans on iamx offer good airflows...

    It's based on an actual real life person so I don't think the woke police have a valid case here.
    Nope. They have a very valid case. The above video explains it all.

    Meanwhile Ghost of Tsushima PC version is out now. Looks 100 times better than ASS Creed already.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
