yeah it helped a little i saw this video somewhere, by the way it was very hard to install this cooler on my motherboard, first i had 80+ temp, after 70+, and now i have 60+ in linx on OC 1.3v.

Everyone says they have trouble with that cooler. But your temps should be much lower than that. I presume you have a 2500K or 2600K, at idle they should run at 1.6 with a VCore of .095-1.00 and be in the high 20's to lower 30's.

i have 2500k overclocked to 4,3ghz on vcore 1,3v, what you mean "20's" and "30's" ? What temperature should be on this cooler on linx? I have already 65 degrees in linx, and 38 degrees on idle. I read temps with hwmonitor.

At idle, Intel Speedstep throttles down the cpu to 1.6 and lowers vcore to around 1V. At idle it should be lower, I am told by others. I idle at 36 and have just bought a new cooler i am waiting to be delivered. But, at 1V the temp should be lower. 65 is not that bad running linx.

hm, maybe bad airflow in my case? i have something like that

(case cm-690 II)

Looks like good airflow to me. Including my 2 fans on the H50, I have 2 x 120mm fans and a 200mm fan. If that isn't enough for my H50, I need another cooler. I am awaiting delivery of a NH-D14 right now.
