Im just gonna use a generic 12cm fan of which I have another in my case.. pushes 80CFM at ~1600rpm 35dba or something which I guess isn't too bad.
Atm I haven't got the little converters to put my case fans on my Zalman controller but I have
Antec Tricool 12cm x2 on 2000rpm at front
Antec Tricool 12cm x1 on 2000rpm at rear
12cm side case fan at 2000rpm
20cm Antec Tricool on top 800rpm.
Vantec Spectrum 2x9cm 5000rpm
That and the PSU.
This biatch is loud.

Eh, noise has never been an issue for me. I let my case fans and CPU cooler run full blast 24/7. It gives me frosty temps for my OC'd E6600. 35~37*C idle(seen it down to 32*C at a dead idle), maybe 38~40*C when surfing around and running music, IM, etc. And I've never topped 55*c playing Oblivion or encoding movies.
I don't even have my speakers on half the time because my sister complains about it even when I'm not using them(go figure).
I use a pair of Alienware Ozma 7 headphones that do the trick nicely. My grandpa got them for me :)

As good as that may seem, I used to run my Freezer 7 Pro at 70% fan speed (much quieter) and still only pulled a max of 55C load, and as you know I run my case fans at a really low speed. I appreciate your CPU's clocked higher than mine, but since it was so much higher to start with, the thermal output shouldn't be any higher. If anything, it should be lower. Don't mean to brag at all, but you don't even need to put up with that level of noise to achieve those temps.

No bragging as far as I can see :P
Point taken though. That's why I intend on getting high-end air cooling when I get my E6750. Maybe the Thermalright Ultra-120?(probably)
It'll be fun to see if I can break 3.6GHz with comfortable temps.

I just got my Ultra 120, idling at room temp (25 degrees) and loading at about 40 :) hehe.

Hehe, good aren't they?
I did some EXTENSIVE research before buying mine, and came to conclusion that the Ultra 120 tops the air cooling charts more often than any other cooler. Now I can see why.

Ever heard any stories of wear on the motherboard having a huge thing like that hanging off it? I mean, it's pretty secure, but when I pull up on it a little bit, theres SOME give like its sagging and needs to be more stable.

Hmm, I haven't heard of any problems like that, all I can say is be careful whenever you're carrying your PC around.

OK so now how do I overclock this bitch properly lol. I am at 1.4V vcore currently (don't know what stock is, it's on auto) and am running 3.0ghz stable. If I go to even 3.2 I get hangs when playing games. Does this mean I need to step up vcore a bit more?

Perhaps, but I've only set 1.45Vcore and I've made it to 3Ghz from an original 1.8.
What's your memory and northbridge voltage?

I run my 650 chipset at 1.55V, so you'd probably be safe by upping yours a small amount. I had to do that in order to get my overclock, but beware, the chipset can get VERY hot if you up the voltage. I'm sure your system can handle it, but make sure there's enough airflow down there.

Yeah there's a bit of airflow going on in this sucker. So if I up the vcore a nudge or two, and the chipset, I should hit say.. 3.4 comfortably?

I should hope so.
What stepping is your E6750, is it G0? If it is, you should be able to push 3.8 with your hardware.

Yep, G0, but I don't want to melt anything... Lol. What is safe and what isn't?

Well, you can go as high as you like with the mhz really, as much as you can get stable, it' the voltages you need to be careful of. I basically never raise anything more than 0.15V above stock.

3.6ghz stable as far as I can tell, 1.425 vcore 1.525 NB.. but apparently ntune says 1.5 is stock for NB so it could go further if it had to lol. SPP says 1.2v is stock I don't know why it has auto gone up 0.2v.... :(
How do I get NB temperature in windows? Because obviously the BIOS doesn't help with load temps on NB

Wow, look at those idle temps! *drools*
I'm sold right now. Thermalright Ultra-120 and an E6750 just for the added FSB. Here's hoping I get a G0 core. I have heard of almost miracle-type overclocking from them. It just comes down to making the purchase :)
I'll wait on it until I can save a bit more. I just recently bought a truck and it kinda emptied my wallet :(
After next week I'll have about $400 from my paycheck and I'll make the purchase then ;)
