    Using this chip on my first build. No issues so far, easy install. Haven't tested overclocking on it yet, so can't help you there.

    When this was on sale, it was an amazing price for what you get. I paired this with the NH-U12S and I was successfully able to overclock stably to a 4.9GHz all-core load and I believe I set it up to do: 5.1GHz on up to 2 cores, 5.0GHz on up to 6 cores, and 4.9GHz on up to 8 cores. The temps with this setup are a bit high, but I believe it levels out at a max of 86 Celsius, but that's under extreme situations that don't happen often.
