I get about 38 degrees C at idle with fan around 1500rpm, and about 74 degrees C when all cores are running flat out and fan at around 1900rpm. All stock settings, no overclocking or manual fan control.

To get the full load on all 8 cores I encode a video file using the Handbrake application.

Background: my case has terrible ventilation at the front and as you will see, an intake fan doesn't really do much. I tried every configuration to find out what the best possible cooling would be under my circumstances. I don't own a hard drive, so perhaps my temperatures are a little cooler than they otherwise would be.

These are stock speeds with stock CPU cooling. The case fans are Zalman ZM-F1 Plus 80MM, which come with a noiseless adapter that lowers the speed of the fan by about 1000 RPM. I eventually settled on a single rear fan with noiseless adapter, but I may need to modify this in the summer when temperatures skyrocket.

Idle
both fans - 24.5ºC
rear fan - 24.5ºC
front fan - 25ºC
front fan, with noiseless adapter - 25.5ºC
rear fan, with noiseless adapter - 25.5ºC
no case fan - 25.5ºC

Load
both fans - 64ºC
rear fan - 65.5
front fan - 71.5ºC
front fan, with noiseless adapter - 71.5ºC
rear fan, with noiseless adapter - 68ºC
rear fan, noiseless, 3.5 bay open in front for more airflow - 67ºC
no case fan - 71.5ºC

Ambient temp - 17ºC

Edited to add: I have an Asus P8H67-PRO motherboard. When using SpeedFan, I notice a temperature indicator for CPU that starts around 90ºC and then drops with load. What's with this?

My stock temp with the stock Intel heatsink was 30C and on load it was going to 80C and beyond.

I switched to Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus and it dropped to 29C idle and 50C on full load. No matter how much the load it doesnt go beyond 50C. I do not overclock.

I highly recommend anything OTHER than the stock cooler - I am surprised Intel ships such a substandard heatsink with its top of the line processor.

Dear good sir, may I ambient temp?
