Hello all! I have an i7 2600k and I just installed my GTX 1070. I have been using the stock cooler for years, but decided that I want to overclock now so I purchased a Hyper 212 Evo which was a pain to install and nearly scared me to death when it slid around but thankfully, it seems to be working. Before I overclock, I want to know if you guys think it's working correctly and if these are good stock temps. Should it be cooler than what it is or does it look like what it should be? Here are my temps in Core Temp while Idle:

About to run Prime95 and report back with those temps.

Anywhere mid 30's at idle is usually spot on. Remember - if you're using F vs C (I'm in the US, so F for me...) - 33C turns out to be right around 91F. Assuming an average ambient temp in summer of about 75F, you're 16 degrees over ambient.

Now of course, crank that bi*ch up and see where it goes. :)

I managed to get a Xeon X3470 (core i7-850 equivalent) from 2.9ghz to 4.2ghz on the same cooler... ;)

Alright, cool! So I haven't overclocked just yet but I have ran Prime95 for 10 minutes to see how high my load would be at stock using the Evo vs stock. Are these good load temps to have at stock when using Prime95 and this cooler? http://i.imgur.com/QUU4Tns.png I just want to make sure these are good before I decide to push it any further, lol. Also, the fan is really loud. If I change the speed in BIOS, how much would this affect my temps you think?

I'm assuming that's not load temp, right? Generally, for solid computing you want to keep the load temps under 75C or so and 1.4v on the vCore. Anything 80C+ for a length of time will shorten the life of the CPU.

Nice thing about the Sandy Bridge chips is the tighter lithography on the Ivy Bridge/Haswell actually makes overclocking a bit tougher. Skylake is a whole different different beast though. 4.7ghz is relatively common.

That's the turbo and power save clocking. Is there any reason to run at top speed 100% of the time and generate heat for no reason? Nope. So when it's not loaded it throttles down. :)
