How are your temps? it is even safe to use the Haswell Stock cooler for a while, as obvious I won't be overclocking or doing anything heavy in it. Maybe trying the Battefront Beta tomorrow.

RAIJINTEK Pallas is decent and low profile and comparatively inexpensive. The Skylake chips seem to run out of voltage headroom before they run out of thermal headroom, so have more modest cooling needs than Haswell.

A K Haswell CPU cooler, or the G3258 one, with the copper slug, will handle stock clocks until you can replace it.

if its the same cooler as ivy and haswell chips, then its borderline depending on load and ambient/case temps. For rendering or stress testing that is using all cores at once you can expect it to throttle back due to heat. Gaming may not be so bad as most games wont use 100% of all cores.

Thank you guys!


Long story short, messed up my finances and can't afford a CPU cooler right now. Of course using it with stock cooler is temporally.

I already thought on those, but those heatsinks are massive and not appealing to me. I'm aiming for low profile offerings from Noctua usually within $60~$70, if not that >$100 then watercooling H100i GTX.

I understand its not that aesthically appealing. But is there anything wrong with the performance?

Get the 212 EVO first, UPGRADE in the future.

Like what I did, 212 Evo for a few months, then i bought the Kraken X61.

I have heard good things about that 212 EVO, I'm pretty sure I would work decently fine. But for me there is no point on expending $30 on a cooler when on a week or two I'm getting another $100+ cooler, I already had planned to build when I get the appropriated cooler but I feel like I need to test this now haha specially with the Battlefront Beta coming out tomorrow. I also have the stock cooler laying around its just matter of mounting it, still need to get some thermal compound tomorrow.

Who says it comes with a stock cooler? maybe learn to read. What precisely am I asking on OP?
