Hi,
I am finding that our new PC with i5 4690, the stock cooler is absolutely fine so far... only had it a week and temps are good and system fans, while just audible, can only be classified as quiet when playing CS GO and Skyrim on full settings.
The 4 cores sit between 60 - 65 with one nudging high 60s
Strangely the CPU temp shows as dropping from 40 -45 at idle to ~30 under gaming ... either the fan kicks in and drops the temp or the values are erroneous (reversed?) and is actually 50 - 60 (which would still be good) anyone seen this sort of behaviour?
Need to check again on a really hot day I guess...but couldn't be happier so far.... fingers crossed
