A very relevant issue. Could be. Never the less, having a prometeia to run things at stock speed it's a waste of time and money. The point of having such a cooling device is to "OC'ing the living $hit out of the proc" , while being able to deal, and maintain a "cool processor".

From the tests he conducted , he told me that the processor was loosing it's oc potential over time, and each couple of months he had to lower it's speed by a little. He didnt go into much details, but hey, i'm just "selling" what he sold me.

Here's a couple of pics of his system . He changed the ti4600 to the 9700pro and the memories since.

The memories dont overheat that easily. But you can always have a calculation of that .

A pretty decent spreadsheet, imo.
