So I am OCing my Q6600 for a friend to use as a simple gaming PC.  It's on an XFX 680i SLi LT and has 2 EVGA 460s in SLi.  Nothing spectacular by any means but it'll play some games pretty ok.  Anyway...the thing I'm amazed about is that I just got a hyper 212 evo for it so I could so this overclock and the thing just KEEPS GOING!  First I was excited when I got it to 2.7 ghz on the stock cooler.  Then I started messing with it late one night earlier this week and got it to 3 ghz.  Now tonight I hit 3.2 and now I'm testing out 3.4 ghz.  A full ghz overclock.  Maybe that's nothing special and I'm just excited for something everyone else knew could happen...but I never expected to get this much of an OC this easily out of such a cheap cooler AND old CPU.  It's a shame this crap case it's in won't support my un-used H100 because I'd love to see what I can get out of that!  If you guys are interested in hearing what I finally get out of it just say so.  Or tell me no one cares and I'll just go back to amazing myself lol.

Why havent you used the H100 in your own case.. . I was going to tell you no one cares but instead wrote that..

Ghetto mount the H100...just suspend it from the ceiling of the case with zip ties.

I used to have it in my main rig but then I upgraded to a full custom loop

I may try something like this down the road.

Will do man.  I really want to see how far I can push it just on air.  I've seen for a long time that the hyper 212 was basically the go-to cooler for anyone on the cheap and now I ABSOLUTELY see why.
