not a whole lot you can do really you could turn volts down a lil and see if its stable just to knock a few degree's off and you could put some artic silver paste on

id try and turn down volts now and go to as low till windows wont boot then put it back up a lil then prime test for about 15 min should be plenty for real world tasks

Thats about it dude, if the pump is running direct from the PSU then you are just at the limits of what you have. I had a 120 kit in recently and tbh they are not really up to overclocking IMHO.

The Noctua will fit fine in that case. Or as Marsey says, stick a 240 in the roof.

I had a D14 in my cm-690 II and currently have two 240 rads in there, just so you know they can fit.
