Looking For A Good 120/140mm Top Exhaust Fan

Hello everyone, My case is Corsair Carbide 400R and I'm currenty using 2 x 120mm Xigmatek XLFs as top exhaust fans. But since these fans are sleeve bearing it's not suitable for horizontal using I guess and today one of them starts making a slight clicking noise. I had a plan of buying 2...

Thanks for the suggestions. I haven't checked if multicore enh. is active but probably it is since under full load, the freq. of all cores were going up to 3.9 GHz. I will probably play with the voltages a bit and find a stable frequency around 4.1-4.2 Ghz. But need to update the bios first i...

I can't really understand why Intel decided to use cheap TIM in their newer processors. It's really weird. Can we just send our CPUs to RMA and make them de-lid for us?

Thanks for the suggestions. So is there way to keep that voltage under control with Turbo Boost? I checked BIOS but there are lots of options there and don't really know which works for what.

Thanks a lot for the quick replies everyone. These informations are quite helpful and it's good to know that I'm in safe zone for now. And BonzaiDuck, thank you very much for your great suggestions. My priority now is adding 2 more fans to the case (and maybe slowing down the rpms a bit to...
