My i5-3570K's running at ~1.152V @ 4.2Ghz with the i5-3570K stock fan
On the fan itself : "DC12V 0.28A NIDEC"

Idle : 42-43C
Full load prim95 ~ 10 min : 93-94C

I also have an intel stock fan 3770K lying around. It says " DC12V, 0.17A Foxconn". Should this fan make any difference ?

I'm considering buying an Corsair H60i, but i dont know if it worth the cooling performance

I agree that you don't NEED a liquid cooler, but one would DEFINITELY help. M 3820 never gets above 55c under load with liquid cooling. But something like a 212 EVO would still be a big improvement over the stock fan. When you OC using a stock fan, you're really only asking for high temps.
