it varies with each CPU model. i have a sandy bridge i7 2700k which default its set to 3.5Ghz and the temperature is about 33C(91.400ºF) which is excellent but i overclocked it at 4.3Ghz and it hovers around 39C(102.20ºF) and on heavy loads its around 50C(122.00ºF) to 55C(131.00ºF). the maximum temperature limit for my CPU is 95c(203.00ºF) if i am not mistaken but that's way too hot. i can go higher(no more than 70C(158.00ºF) for my CPU model) than this but i choose not to because it can shorten or kill the life of the CPU. Also I'm not using the stock heat sink. if you have an intel dont go higher than 60C(140.00ºF) under heavy loads just to be safe. it varies with each CPU model. i have a sandy bridge i7 2700k which default its set to 3.5Ghz and the temperature is about 33C(91.400ºF) which is excellent but i overclocked it at 4.3Ghz and it hovers around 39C(102.20ºF) and on heavy loads its around 50C(122.00ºF) to 55C(131.00ºF). the maximum temperature limit for my CPU is 95c(203.00ºF) if i am not mistaken but that's way too hot. i can go higher(no more than 70C(158.00ºF) for my CPU model) than this but i choose not to because it can shorten or kill the life of the CPU.

Low medium and High is all there is, I use mine in a basement, I turn it until it just clicks on, And leave it. No idea what the actual temperature is.

I don't know the reason. The only I know is that Artic Silver thermal compounds are the best for processor's heat transfer and dissipation. In my case, thermal paste transfers heat so great: highest temperature I've seen in my computer's processor is 52 degrees Celsius at full load (no overclocking of course).

I am currently using the stock fan. At stock speeds my computer stays pretty cool, 15-20 C. When playing online games however, they go up to 40-45 which I guess isn't too bad. With higher settings on games/programs the fan then turns into something like a Bulldozer running over C4, extremely loud but does a pretty "Ok" job at keeping the CPU cool if it isn't put under anything over regular use stress. I would highly recommend getting a better fan if you have the money, but if not, you should be fine until you manage to get your hands on one.

I got mine up to 4.7 and kept it below those temps under load with the stock AMD closed loop liquid cooler. At 4.4Ghz mine stays under 55C under load, At 4.7 it stays around 65c under load, and at 5.0Ghz it can get as hot as 75c under load. 4.7ghz is 100% stable but 5.0ghz isn't exactly stable but I haven't done a ton of tweaking with the voltages and my cooler is only the AMD 120mm closed loop liquid cooler in push-pull so it's not top of the line by anymeans. Keep in mind just because mine acts this way it doesn't mean everyones will, every piece of silicon is different and there are so many variables such as what cooler you have, how good of airflow you have, how well you applied the thermal paste, and what kind of thermal paste you're using.

Hello Cody, the cpu is clocked at 1900 MHz and with turbo it can reach 2800 MHz. It depends on which profile are you going to use. Mine is mostly running at 2.2 GHz, 2.3 GHz, or 2.8 GHz. Regards.

I haven't experienced any heat issues. I have an Intel i5 3570k overclocked to 4.2gHz being cooled with a the Antec Kuhler single rad closed water cooling system venting out the top. I swapped the fan out for a pressure optimized Noctua. My suggestion is to not try to air cool your CPU with this case. I'm also running two GTX 660s and an EVGA 750w PSU. The PSU vents out the bottom of the case, so it doesn't really matter that its covered. Its just more aesthetically pleasing. Just be sure to set it on a hard surface and not carpet or else it's going to suffocate. Worth mentioning that this case runs decently quiet with the stock fans as well.

I am not sure about your type of processor but I will tell you I have an i7 3770 that boost up to 3.9 GHz and even under a full load never go over 45 C. I do not overclock and I only use one fan I was told that an additional fan will basically only help if you are overclocking I would start with one fan and see how it goes from there I would doubt that you would have any overheating issues also the thermal paste they gave you is pretty good but I use artic silver instead.

Hi Rich, If you want the best performance from your processor then you want it to stay 'Cool'. It is the heart and mind of the whole system. Even if you aren't a cutting edge enthusiast who overclocks a processor to it's maximum and must use a custom water cooling system and a high performance thermal compound also.It's a very good idea to use a High Grade, highly reviewed, high performance thermal compound. This can add a lot of lifetime to your computer. There are several good choices out there including our old workhorse Arctic Silver.

I am gaming on the board with a intel 4790 and a GTX 970. I do have an aftermarket cooler (air) on the cpu but honestly probably don't need it. Highest temp in stress testing was 48c. you should be fine with stock heat sink.

Yes and Yes; YOUr cooler is one that fits all motherboards and big ram(good cooler but stock) intel turbo boost increases temps to 50C___ STOCK. Three strips of grey thermal TAPE on the cooler itself. BUT you can live without intel turbo boost with this cpu temps drop to 20c to 30c (very good). I LOVE MY CPU AND I WANT IT TO LAST (BETWEEN ME AND YOU THIS CPU IS A MONSTER).

It does not overclock automatically that I know of. It does get pretty warm when I'm running games, but I would not say that it gets hot necessarily. It definitely stays cooler than my last laptop did while running games.

Assuming we are talking about ambient temperature of 70-80F max in room, and you installed properly. this cooler should keep your CPU (2600k) max 77-80C under load which is not over heating. But too many variables not stated.

AMD FX-Series FX-8120 Black Edition Eight Core Processor (3.10 GHz, 16MB Cache, Socket AM3+, 125W, 3 Year Warranty, Retail Boxed) recently tried to run on 4.4 Ghz so far no prob temp max around 40C fan is almost silent. About the case I am do not know I having Cooler Master Silencio 550 USB3.0 ATX Case And I did have to remove the plastic top of it so if you will have fanon the side of that case you definitely will not fit. Plastic top is easy to remove, and cooler looks fine. Hope I helped you.

I used a Corsair A70 air cooler. Temperatures are comparable to liquid cooling. I am running a 3rd gen I5 at around 31-33 Celsius.

I'm using it with a Core i7 4790 (not the overclockable "K" version) and it's been wonderful. Running heavy-duty stress tests like Prime95 or AIDA64 on all eight cores took my Max Core temp up to about 82 degrees C, but even then processor throttling doesn't occur. Besides, unless you're running professional analysis and simulation software for many hours or days straight, it's highly unlikely that you'll ever be stressing out your processor enough to cause any temperature issues.

Some compounds dissipate heat faster than others. This is one that does. d recommend a larger coolinf fan firstthen evaluate if your over clocking your processor. They will only go so far than youll get errors. When you do back off on the clock speed
